Robert was born November 9, 1962, in Howard, Maryland to Harley Henry Geelen and Bonnie Dale LeBlanc Guillory and passed away on September 13, 2024, at Rapides Medical Center in Alexandria, Louisiana. To know Bobby was to love him. He brought joy wherever he went. Bobby never met a stranger, and he loved meeting new people and asking, "Hello how are you? Are you happy? I'm happy." Bobby always had a bright, big smile on his face wherever he went. He loved to walk everywhere in Vernon Parish and visited his spots where he was well known in the community in which he lived. Bobby enjoyed people watching, his Friday the 13th movies, playing bingo straight, and 4 corners as he would call it. He would watch his cards closely. He would rather visit, socialize, and enjoy life to the fullest. He was a giver and because he was a giver, Bobby's family knew he would want to be an organ donor. So Bobby will continue to do what he loved best and give a piece of himself to live on.
Bobby was preceded in death by his parents; stepdads, Leroy Guillory & Woodrow Parks; grandparents, Snowwhite & Ellis LeBlanc; two brothers, Harley & Clyde Geelen; uncles, Elwood LeBlanc, Ernest Geelen, & Bernice Kibodeaux; aunt, Lily, and nephew, Harley Geelen.
He is survived by his brothers, Mike Geelen, Frank Geelen, & Steve Parks; sisters, Ginger Parks, Joan Parks, & Sendy Parks; nephews, Kenneth Parks & Marlee Henley; nieces, Lacy Lynette Castro, Amber Kuhl, & Karlie Parks.
Donations can be made to Jeane's Funeral Service or First United Pentecostal Church of Leesville.
