Bobby D. Clemmons was born to Dewey and Ruby Clemmons in Terrel, Texas on November 9, 1938. His entrepreneurial spirit developed as a child attending school and following his parents to help them on various agricultural projects across Texas. This spirit later took him to Sterling City, Texas where he met the woman that would stand by his side for the next 67 years, Barbara Simmons. They married in 1957 and became the parents of Bobby Clemmons Jr. on October 30, 1960.
Bob's legacy continued to grow throughout his life as he developed as a father, became a grandfather, and later a great grandfather. Nothing gave him greater pride than watching his family try new things and reach success, and when they didn't find success, he would guide them through their failures with a gentle hand and words of encouragement. A practical jokester, those around him were never sure what might be coming next, but we all knew it would be worth a good laugh. He enjoyed the quiet and when he spoke everyone around knew his words contain substance.
Outside of his family, Bob found comfort and joy in exploring the world around him whether it be traveling on his trucks, working on his land in Gordon, Texas, tinkering in his garage, or watching plane flight patterns over his house in the backyard. These activities often required quiet and patience, for which he had plenty.
Bob passed on August 12, 2024, and is now onto his next great adventure with our Father. We know that his spirit will be all around us in the things that we love and enjoy and in the quiet moments of the wind blowing across our faces. He has prepared us to continue his great legacy.
Bob is survived by his wife, Barbara; son Bobby Clemmons Jr. and wife Debra; grandson Kyle Clemmons; granddaughter Keeli Garza and husband Miguel' great grandsons Roman, Xavier, and Damian, and many nieces and nephews.
