With deep sorrow and heartfelt reverence, the Humboldt, Tennessee community mourns the passing of Bobby Justen Barber, who departed this world on June 23, 2025, at the age of 38. Bobby’s sudden loss has left a profound void in the lives of those who knew him—a man remembered for his strength, humor, and steadfast love for those he held dear.
Bobby lived with a spirit that was both bold and tender. His laughter had the power to brighten even the darkest days, and his sincerity made others feel at ease in his presence. Whether offering a helping hand or simply sharing time with loved ones, Bobby brought a sense of belonging to every moment.
He is deeply mourned by his father, Louis Pete Barber, his fiancé, Whitney Sikes, and his beloved sons, Jordon and Hayden Barber. To them and many others, Bobby was more than a relative—he was a confidant, a protector, and a source of unwavering love. His legacy is etched in the values he passed down, the relationships he nurtured, and the memories that now serve as enduring comfort.
A visitation will be held on Friday, June 27, 2025, followed by a funeral service and burial at Rutherford Cemetery, located at Rutherford Cemetery Road, Rutherford, TN 38369. Family, friends, and community members are invited to attend, remember, and celebrate a life that—though cut short—was lived with purpose and heart.
Though Bobby may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on—in the stories shared around the table, in the lessons passed from father to son, and in the love that binds those he’s left behind.
