August 16, 2021

Robert (Bobby) Earl Kimbro, 75, entered into eternal rest to be with his Lord and Savior on August 14, 2021 due to congestive heart failure. He was born on June 10, 1946 to Earl and Gladys Kimbro. Born and raised in Pensacola, he was a 1964 graduate of Pensacola High School. He was retired from Armstrong World Industries.

He married Reba Gainey Kimbro in 1969 and they had three sons, David, Bruce and Bryan.

He was a true “Southern Gentleman”, loved by all. He was a leather crafter, great photographer and avid historian. He was also commissioned as an Honorable Kentucky Colonel in 2009.

Bobby was preceded in death by his parents; and son, Robert David. He was survived by his wife, Reba Gainey Kimbro of almost 52 years; son, Robert Bruce-Gordon Kimbro and his wife, Stephanie; son, Richard Bryan Kimbro and his wife, Jonette; three grandchildren, Jonathan Kimbro, Maggie Bryanna Kimbro and Kylie Jon Kimbro; brother, Ronnie Kimbro and his wife, Sharon Gainey Kimbro; sister, Rosemary Kimbro Cook and her husband Ken. Also, his closest and dearest friends/cousins, Don and Melody Norris.

Due to the increase of the Covid-19 outbreak and for everyone’s safety, the family will hold a private graveside service in the next few days, officiated by one of his dear 1964 PHS Classmates, Phil Jones. On behalf of Bobby, the family would like to thank Dr. Robert P. Jensen for many years of extraordinary care, a very special nurse Christy Allen, RN and Covenant Hospice for their exceptional care during this last week.
