After a fierce battle with glioblastoma, Bobby Bishop Jr. departed for Heaven on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2021, where he was reunited with his mother, Nyokia Taylor Bishop, mother-in-law, Juanita Skidmore Baker; and countless other family and loved ones.
Bobby grew up in Benton, spending his younger years working in the family grocery store and playing baseball a sport he loved and played well as often as possible.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in business, with an accounting concentration, at UTC. Bobby passed the CPA exam on the first sitting, earning the highest score in the state of Tennessee, and the 21st highest score in the nation. He then went on to earn his law degree from UTK.
