When he entered a room it was like a bright warm light shone on you. He was a person who always had a broad smile, an encouraging word, and a seemingly endless supply of humor and hearty laughs. It is in this sometimes cold and dark trial of life that people like Robert keep us grounded, remind us what is important, and carry and support us in our every endeavors. 

We cannot pretend to imagine the immense heartbreak at such a profound loss, but if it is any solace, do remember that Robert had a positive effect on everyone and it was nothing short of a privilege to have known him.  He will be truly missed.

Sending you our deepest condolences and prayers,

Aron and Zarinah

I can always say that Bobby was a humble and gracious man.. I never heard him complain or ever show any bitterness towards any person .  Even though he battled with  various ailments, he was always a pleasant person.  Bobby is the sole reason that I own two very nice Cleveland Browns jerserys.   I received them as gifts from him. We often talked sports and he always had the deepest of sympathy for me because I was the (long suffering) Browns fan. We will miss your smile, admire your spirit, and cherish our time we spent with you.

Dear family,  we the Grant family of Asheville, N.C., are saddened by the passing of Bobby Jenkins. We know that the God of all Comfort will keep you as you go through these days and times ahead.  Classmate Rev. Dr. Louis Grant.
