Robert Lewis

Robert Joseph Lewis “Bobby" Also known as UBL and Spike

Bobby Joe Lewis passed away peacefully into the arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ, early Sunday morning, October 18, 2026.

Anyone blessed and lucky enough to have known Bob will forever remember his devoted friendship, unconditional love, and happy sense of humor.

Bob was a creative soul with many talents—a poet, woodworker, master gardener, ultimate craftsman, trumpet player, organizer, and true jack-of-all-trades. After 38 years of hard work, Bob retired from UPS. He spent much of his retirement enjoying his favorite hobbies alongside his little Yorkie, Getzen. He created many beautiful things.

Bobby was highly intelligent, with a remarkable photographic memory. He never missed a detail. If something was broken, Bob could fix it. If it needed building, he could build it. He was also an amazing cook who loved baking, grilling, and smoking the tastiest dishes you could ever imagine.

He was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back, lend you money, open his home, and come running to the rescue of almost anyone who asked.

Our hearts are broken that we had to say goodbye way too soon. He still had so much more to do, make, give, teach, and create.

Following a lengthy illness, Bob remained stubborn in his own way. He knew exactly what he wanted, who he was, and where he was going when he was ready.

We invite everyone who knew and loved Bob and his family to come as you are—wear your best jeans and T-shirt, just as he would have wanted, and join us to celebrate Bob’s life on November 13 at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (4760 South State Street, Murray)

Rest easy, Bobby Joe. God Speed. We love you and miss you so much already.
