Bobby was born July 5, 1970 and lived more in his short life than most of us could hope to in a hundred years. Bobby’s parents, Yvonne and Allan were Sooooo very proud of all his accomplishments. We were so blessed when he entered the world in typical Bobby fashion - in his own time and his own way that July 5th. Bobby was a beautiful soul and his sparkling brilliance and bright light shone so bright he lit up Any room he walked into. He was such a gift to us all but most especially to Sherry, Chris and Austin as Austin’s Godfather. Bobby was a glue that made our family happy every single day. He gave his whole heart to everyone he cared about and had a passion for his family being very protective of his sister Sherry. He loved his aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents so deeply. Bobby was the best friend and quiet leader among his group of amazing friends. Bobby loved his Godson more than anything. He just glowed whenever they were together! He was always so thankful for his Family and Kim. He mentored and role modeled how to finally put a family together for himself. Bobby was at his happiest and never showed the stress he carried. He went to Elementary School in Davie, Fl for the braille, Middle and High School in Los Angeles where “Hallelujah” armed to actually write instead of the braille he had already learned. Later, Bobby took Classes at Santa Monica College in Broadcasting and worked at their version of "NPR". He enjoyed many things in his short time with us. When not at work he enjoyed music, doing crafts, hanging out with his friends, traveling and spending time with family! He was such a well rounded individual! Bobby took on the battle and who fought firmly and with good energy against homeless with grace and courage helping many in the Fresno Community. He never asked "why me". He understood with more knowledge than any human should ever possess.… I always said “yeah, yeah “ as a Retired Medic of 30 years I thought I'd seen it all. We were blessed to have the most amazing loved one. We will be forever grateful for Bobby AKA: Robert Ducky Carpenter his Stage name and Security Cover. He will Always be Bobby to his Family. “Whatever GOD says is okay with me. It’s in his hands.” Bobby was a wonderful Spouse to Kim Murphy of 18 years. Bobby leaves behind his Spouse Kim Murphy, his Sister Sherry, brother in law Chris, Step Brother Larry and family, his Godson Austin Elliot. Many friends and relatives. Mother never allowed us into drugs or paraphernalia, made sure we worked hard at school and Hard at an upstanding living. My "Bubby" taught me to live every day as the best day loyalty is money! In support of a very special person to us Bubby Please support Kim at: www.mealtrain.com/trains/77mrz9 For everything you stand up for to hold us together, being thee Best Godfather there is on earth…countless times you dropped Everything to help your Godson through rough times having Sis take a breath ans repeat to him with "To the moon and Back'. You would’ve been the best father ever! Now we are looking at those who will have time to read this post until the end. This is a small request, just to see who knew our “Sweet Boo-boo” as our Mother lovingly called him, I was there when you came in this world. My most beautiful moments in thinking of Bobby I am grateful for our 54 Years Together, "You are my Rock of Gibraltar"…peace be yours.
