Reverend George Celestine will conduct the funeral services. Burial will take place in Greenlawn Memorial Gardens Mausoleum. Bobby graduated from Acadiana High School, Business Academy, Class of 2013. When he smiled, he would brighten up every one’s day with those shiny straight teeth. He was a people person, very loveable, kind, and sweet. He was always the light at a party, entertaining and telling jokes. We can’t forget about that truck, OMG, he cherished that truck like a person. Sometimes he wouldn’t even move out of his truck, he would just sit inside of his truck and listened to music. He kept his truck clean and also drove it at a slow chill pace. He would say, “he was cruising”. He enjoyed playing basketball, PlayStation, and hanging out with friends and family just having a good time. He was very respectable, loving, and charming. While in school he worked with his father, painting. He was always proud of his work when he painted. After graduating he worked a few other jobs and later went to school and attained a CDL where he worked in the Trucking Industry until the pandemic hit. He had two Godchildren that were like his own, his nephew Ashton and Niece Aubrey. He constantly checked on them, visited, babysat, and loved like his own. His favorite saying was, “I am the man”. Bobby, a resident of Lafayette, was the son of Bobby J. Celestine, Sr. and the former Aleathia Henry. He is survived by his parents; sister, Bisa Celestine; brother, Joshua Henry (Jacquetta); maternal grandparents, Donald and Louise Henry; paternal grandmother, Patricia Solomua and husband, Solo; nephews, Haidon Henry, Ashton Sampy, Joshua Henry, Jr., and Kadience Henry; nieces, Jamya Henry, Kamille Guidry, and Aubrey Edmond; as well as a host of aunts, uncles, family and friends.
