Robert Ferguson Obituary

Visit the Smith Mortuary - Clinton website to view the full obituary.

Robert (Bo) Ferguson entered this life on June 19, 1959 to the late Richard T. Ferguson, Sr. and Ethel May Ferguson of Jackson, MS.

Bo accepted Christ as his personal Lord and Savior at an early age. He attended Jackson Public Schools for his elementary developmental days. After graduating from Forest Hill High School he went on to further his education by obtaining an associates degree from Utica Junior College.

As Bo traveled through life in the late 80’s, he encountered a beautiful young lady by the name of Robbie “Nell”, that would later go on to become his wife. On September 1, 2003 he was joined in Holy Matrimony to Robbie “Nell” Alexander which lasted until the day he departed this life. Bo had a great enjoyment of watching western movies, believing that somehow he was a cowboy himself. He also enjoyed basketball and spending time with family and friends, while making lasting memories.

He leaves to cherish his memories: a loving wife, Robbie “Nell” Ferguson of Clinton, MS; two brothers, Keith (Eugenia) Ferguson and Richard Ferguson, Jr. of Jackson, MS; two sisters, Shelia (James) Smith and Sharon Manny of Jackson, MS; four children, Carnell Alexander of Jackson, MS, Verlynsia Moore, Tammy Washington and Willie Alexander, Jr. of Clinton, MS; twenty-four grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, other relative and friends.
