Robert Keith

Chadbourne Jr.

Robert Keith Chadbourne Jr., son of Lois Marie Brooks Chadbourne and Robert Keith Chadbourne was born at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, on November 30, 1953. He departed this life at his residence in Lesterville, Missouri, on August 19, 2016, at the age of 62.

On November 2, 1991 in Lesterville, Missouri, Bob was united in marriage to Belinda Hester. Bob was a member of the Lesterville First Baptist Church. He greatly enjoyed the outdoors. He started his mornings by sitting on the porch and taking in the fresh air and came in when the sun went down. Bob loved to go hunting and fishing. Some of his fondest memories were made with his family and friends on these trips. Rather it was a freezing morning in a deer stand or a four hour trip down the river, he loved the outdoors. He also enjoyed building things in his woodshop, going camping and spending time finding as many pieces of junk as he could at yard sales and flea markets. He had a real eye for bargains. Bob enjoyed spending time with friends. He could sit for hours, swap stories and tell jokes. He shared his humor with everyone. Even when he wasn't feeling top notch he was still cracking jokes and making everyone around him smile. One of Bob's greatest joys was spending time with his family. He especially loved being a Grandpa and spending time with his grandchildren. He loved to tell them stories about when he was a little boy and teaching them how to do things. There is no doubt that Grandpa Bob's legacy will live on with them.


Bob was preceded in death by one brother, Randall Ray Chadbourne.

Bob is survived by his parents, Robert and Lois Chadbourne, his wife, Belinda Chadbourne , one son, Robert Wayne Chadbourne all of Lesterville, Missouri, one daughter, Stormy Rhea Taylor and husband Cheyenne of Warrensburg, Missouri, three grandchildren, Austin Robert Chadbourne and wife Alexis of Tucson, Arizona, Calahan Scott Taylor and Maddie Rhea Taylor, and one great-grandchild, Robert Michael Chadbourne. Bob will be deeply missed by his family and many friends who will mourn his passing.
