Bobby Lee Locke, Jr. gained his heavenly wings on March 31, 2024. He was born on July 5, 1972, to Dennie Faye Russell Hill and Bobby Lee Locke, Sr. Bobby was born in Charlotte, NC at Mercy Hospital.

He graduated from Olympic High School in Charlotte, NC with the Class of 1990.

Bobby also attended North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, NC for a while and he courageously served in the United States Army during the Iraq War. He was honorably discharged from the United States Army in 2006.

Bobby enjoyed music, doing yard work, and working on cars. He had a great sense of humor, was fun-loving and enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.

He had a smile that would light up a room and a laugh that you could never forget. Bobby was well-respected and known for helping others in the community. He frequently gave advice to the younger generation and even helped provide guidance to children that weren’t biologically his.

Bobby’s presence will be missed, and his spirit will live in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He had a special love and connection with his cousins whom he grew up with and shared an unbreakable bond. Bobby often visited his cousins, aunts and uncles as he cared deeply for his family.

He leaves to cherish his memories: son, Michael (Brianna) McMahon; granddaughter, Aliyah McMahon; mother, Dennie Faye (Douglas) Hill; father, Bobby Lee Locke, Sr; cousin [who was like a brother], David Kesler; stepsister, Lora (Adrian) Martin; stepbrother, Nakia Siler; god-son, Joel, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives, and friends.
