It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Bobby Joe Robbins of Kannapolis, NC on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at the early age of 39. 

He passed away following a fatal automobile accident on Wright Road in Kannapolis NC.

Born on January 19, 1986, in Cabarrus County, Bobby was the son of Melvin Lee Robbins and Sharon “Kay” Horne Robbins. He was lovingly raised solely by his father, Melvin, until his pre-teen years, and then by his father and stepmother, Cathy Dianne Hopkins Robbins, until her sudden passing in 2004.

Bobby received his education in the Rowan County Schools. Throughout his life, he was a hardworking individual, finding fulfillment in his work as a mechanic and in the construction field.

Beyond his work, Bobby had a zest for life and enjoyed many passions. He loved the freedom of riding motorcycles, the tranquility of camping trips, and the peacefulness of fishing. Bobby was a man of nondenominational Faith and a believer in Jesus Christ.

Bobby is survived by his beloved aunts, Betty Horne Garcia, Jennie Call (Horne)Morton (Steven Morton) and Donna Poole (Robbins)McCall (Frank McCall) and a step aunt Donna Brooks.
