Bobby Gene Driver

Bobby Gene Driver, 88, of Dothan, Alabama, passed away peacefully on June 11, 2025, after a long illness. A proud Marine, successful business owner, and devoted man of faith, Bobby lived a full and meaningful life defined by honesty, service, and love.

Born on June 21, 1936, and raised in Coffee County, Alabama, Bobby went on to serve his country in the United States Marine Corps as a young adult. After settling into civilian life for some time, he moved his family to Ohio where he and Linda raised their three girls and then went on to become the owners of a respected air duct cleaning business. His customers trusted him not just for the quality of his work, but for the integrity and truthfulness that defined every interaction.

Bobby was a faithful member of his church throughout his life, dedicating countless hours to volunteer service. He lived his faith through action, offering a helping hand, a kind word, or a story that lifted someone’s spirit just when they needed it most.

He was the devoted husband of Linda, his beloved wife of 65 years. Together they built a family grounded in love. Bobby was a proud and loving father to his three daughters, Susan, Terri, and Jennifer; and a doting grandfather to Elizabeth, Zach, Evan, and Sam, who brought great joy to him. He was also a loyal and protective big brother to his siblings, Lomax and Diane.

Bobby had a gift for storytelling and an infectious sense of humor that brought light to every room he entered. Whether sharing a joke, a memory, or a song, he made people feel seen, valued, and loved.

His legacy is one of unwavering faith, integrity, and a deep love for family and community. He will be profoundly missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

The Driver family would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Gentiva Hospice and our regular nurse, Jada Culbreth, for their excellent and compassionate care over the previous two years.

A celebration of life will be held at 11am on Monday, June 16, 2025, in the Sunset Funeral Home chapel with Pastor Carl Greene and Rev. Dave Cortes, officiating. The family will receive friends beginning at 10:30am at the funeral home prior to the service.
