Robert (Bob) Carlton Jr.

Robert (Bob) Carlton, Jr. started out as a popular disc jockey at a local Humboldt radio station and went on the pursue many interests. He passed away peacefully in his family home in Jackson, Tennessee on November 6, 2023, surrounded by his family.

Bob was born in Booneville, Mississippi on September 25, 1953, to Robert and Jeane Carlton. The family moved to Jackson, Tennessee in 1963 where he remained for the rest of his life. He graduated from Old Hickory Academy and Lambuth University.

He was an avid dog lover and always had at least 2 dogs living with him. His last 2 dogs, GG and PJ were his last loyal companions, and they will surely miss their benevolent daddy. Bob had a generous heart and a quirky sense of humor.

Bob was preceded in death by his sister Martha Peavyhouse and his mother and father.

He is survived by his brother David (Melanie); his niece, Kate Richardson (Taylor); and nephews, Ben Carlton (Tylynn), Brookes Peavyhouse (Sonya), Miles Peavyhouse (Katie), and Will Peavyhouse (Maggie); brother-in-law Bill Peavyhouse (Sharon); his devoted life-long friend Julia Kipp (Bill); and many great nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at Forest Heights United Methodist Church on Saturday, November 11, 2023 at 11:00 am.
