Bobby George Boatwright

May 29, 2018

On May 27, 2018, Bobby George Boatwright went to be with the Lord at age 77, after a short battle with cancer.

He is preceded in death by his two sons, one stepson, mom, dad, two brothers, and one sister. He is survived by his wife Mary Hill of 29 years, son Micheal (Darlene), brother Billy, stepson Dewey (Vicki), stepdaughter Melinda (Mike), and nine grandchildren. Bobby was born on August 14, 1940. He attended JM Tate and went on to serve his country in the Army. Bobby later founded his own business, Sunrise Steel Erections in 1989, becoming one of the prominent steel erectors in Northwest Florida. Like his business, he was made of Iron, but had a kind heart. Some of Bobby’s joys included hunting and fishing, frying mullet for his family, and feeding his “youngin”(dog Rocky). If you couldn’t find him at a job site, throwing his cast net, or in a hunting stand, you would surely find him roaming the tables at the flea market. Bobby will dearly be missed, as he was an important person in so many lives.

The family will receive friends from 10AM to 11AM on Wednesday, May 30, 2018 at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North. Funeral services will be held at 11AM with Pastor Carl Shiver officiating.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to one of Bobby’s employee’s daughter who is battling cancer. (Karol Rubio: 7117 SW Archer Road Lot 89, Gainesville, FL. 32608)
