Robert Kellum Obituary
Bobby was a retired USMC Master Sergeant of 20 years and 21 years working Civil Service as the Protocol Officer aboard Camp Lejeune.
In addition to serving his country, Bobby also served his local community in many ways. He generously volunteered his time with the Carolina Museum of the Marine, the Onslow County Sports Commission, and the East Coast Invitational Basketball Camp - an event that was especially near and dear to his heart.
In accordance with his and his family's wishes, visitation will be held at Jones Funeral Home, Jacksonville Chapel, on Thursday, March 5, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, where the family will receive friends.

A gathering of friends and community will be held on Saturday, March 7, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Angry Ginger in Jacksonville. All are welcome to join family and friends in celebrating Bobby's life.
