Bobby Ray Cooley

Bobby Ray Cooley, 77, of Beaumont, died Sunday, February 4, 2024. He was born on January 29, 1947, to Mildred Pauline Graham Cooley and Grover Cooley, in Beaumont.

Bobby was a fun-loving, kindhearted generous man who will be dearly missed by all those whose lives he touched. He will be remembered as a family man who was proud of his family, always bragging on their accomplishments. His favorite pastimes were spending time at “the camp” and taking multiple trips weekly to Sam’s Club always looking for a deal. He also loved being outside working in his garden and tending to his plants. Bobby was always ready to make people laugh with his quick-witted humor and crazy sayings. He definitely made this world a better place and will be missed by so many.
