Robert Eugene Pennington

Robert Eugene “Bobby” Pennington, 41 , of Kenbridge, unexpectedly passed away on September 10, 2022 as a passenger in a fatal car accident. “Bobby” as you would know him, was the youngest of Everett and Nancy Pennington’s three children. We remember most fondly his time as Bob the Barber; a local fixture in the Town of Kenbridge over the last 8 years, Bobby was the owner and sole proprietor of his beloved barber shop. Many will have had the pleasure of seeing his joy as he cut hair, always with a smile and good conversation. Some might better remember him as a baseball player in his youth, or a deer hunter in the fall or fishing at the family pond. Occasionally you might have seen him with his ever present companion, his dog, Lucky. Many know him as a relative or simply as a friend. We remember him today as our boy, working on his life, working to improve himself and overcome the challenges that life brings to all of us with an infectious laugh and a deep personal faith. He is survived by his parents Everett Lee Pennington and Nancy Abernathy Pennington; his brother, Everett Lee “Buddy” Pennington, Jr.; his sister, Bonnie P. Johnson and husband Steve; aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and many friends. He was a member of Kenbridge Baptist Church where a celebration of his life will be held Saturday, September 17, 2022 at 11am.
