To all the Keever family. I have thought a lot about Bobby Joe since I heard he passed. I have only good memories and everyone who knew him was better for having known him. He had a heart for Service and was faithful in that. I know his loss is hard and my prayers are with you. It is great that he is with Jesus and we will see him again with joy and celebration. May God bless and comfort all of you.
So sorry. He is in a better place now and in no pain. Praying for all of you. Love you all.
I consider it a most-precious blessing in my life, to have known sweet, Bobby Joe, and his awesomely-wonderful wife, Joyce, for 57 years; they have been my extended-family for all these years!
Their children, Bobby, Mark, and Bradley, each of their spouses, and their families, are all such blessings to know, and love!
I will truly miss Bobby Joe, and his wonderful, funny, personality, as well as his beautiful smile.
Rest in peace, ‘Brother’, as you are in the presence of your Lord, Christ Jesus!
Love, in Christ,
