Robert "Bobby" Anthony Meadows, 49, passed away on February 22, 2026.
Bobby worked in masonry and hardwood flooring and took pride in his work. His true passion, however, was art. He was a talented tattoo artist who loved creating meaningful pieces for others and sharing his creativity.
He was a devoted fan of the University of Tennessee Vols and enjoyed cheering on his team every chance he got.
Bobby was a loving uncle to Amaya White and Kaedence Clark, a caring big brother to Shayne White and Layla Marie, and a loyal friend to many. He will be remembered for his kind heart and the love he had for his family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Renote Meadows; and his stepfather, Charles White.
No formal services will be held at this time.
