Robert "Bobby " Stennett

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8 Robert Thomas Stennett, of Booneville, Mississippi passed from this life on April 9, 2023, at the age of 73 at his home surrounded by his wife, Sandra, his children, and grandchildren. He was a member of Wheeler Church of God where he served as a teacher, lay minister, and song leader for more than 40 years. He was called Bobby by his wife, family and many friends, Daddy by his daughters, and Papaw by his grandchildren who are eight strong young men, each following in his footsteps from the prayers he prayed and his living example of faith. He was a man of great character, faith, love, and loyalty and his legacy will live on for generations to come through his family. Robert developed a strong work ethic at a young age working on his uncle’s farm in the Mississippi Delta that continued throughout his life. He graduated from Tunica High School, and attended Northeast Mississippi Community College and Mississippi State University. Prior to his retirement, he worked at Parker Hannifin as a Tool & Die Supervisor before moving to Manufacturing Supervisor. He was an avid Mississippi State fan, and his favorite hobbies were hunting and fishing. His favorite getaways were his hunting trips at the camp house with his buddies and trips to the Smoky Mountains with his wife and sister and brother-in-law. He loved sports, and some of his most loved times were watching his girls and grandsons play ball and coaching summer league softball teams.

Visitation will be Monday, April 10 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM and will continue Tuesday from 11AM until time of service. He will be laid to rest at Pleasant Grove Cemetery.
