Bobby Legrand Driskill, 82 of Polkville passed away on July 4, 2026, at UMC Hospital. He was born on June 9, 1944.
He served his country in the military. Bobby was a hard-working man who took pride in his work; he was a devoted Christian and told the truth whether you wanted to hear it or not. He led by example as a Christian should. Bobby liked to laugh and carry on, but when it came time for discipline, he didn’t spare the rod. We have always thought he set a great example for all to follow. He liked hunting, fishing, and gardening. He loved being around his family and friends, playing the guitar, and having discussions about the Bible.
