of Harrisburg, AR
December 1, 1948 - June 25, 2023
Robert "Bobby" Allen Lamb, 74, of Harrisburg, AR passed away Sunday, June 25, 2023 at Flo and Phils Hospice House in Jonesboro, AR. He was born on December 1, 1948 to Robert Grayson and Willie Laverne (Allen) Lamb. Bobby worked for the Arkansas Department of Human Services for the Blind until his retirement. As a former weightlifting competitor, Bobby's second home was the gym. He would teach anyone who was willing to learn the basics of weightlifting. He was also a collector at heart. Comic books, baseball cards, match books and neon signs were his favorite treasures. Bobby's love for animals was fierce and limitless. He poured his entire heart and soul into each of his pets. This devotion to animals will be his legacy.
He is preceded in death by his parents; his wife of 37 years, Sherry Marie Lamb; his son, Eric Lamb and a sister, Nancy Parker.
Left to cherish the memory of Bobby are his loving daughter, Tonya Lovell and her husband, Travis; grandchildren, Tessa Grace Lovell, Alisa Lamb, Hayleigh Lamb and Colton (Arianna) Barnes; great-grandchildren, Maverick and Ranger Barnes and a sister, Linda (Darrell) Collier.
