Bobby Joe Rhodes, 91, born to Edward Russell Rhodes and Lucille L. Rhodes Osborne (Potter) on June 25, 1933, in Picher, Oklahoma and passed away Wednesday, June 11, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Bob loved his church and church family as an active member of Winnetka Heights Baptist Church. Bob loved getting together with the men for a weekly breakfast. Bob also loved a good road trip. He and Loretta traveled with their truck, trailer and fifth wheel to 49 of the 50 states. On his bucket list was a visit to Alaska, which was the only state not achieved. He also traveled to Mexico and several providences in Canada. Bob was an avid OU fan, being a season ticket holder for many years.

Bob worked for Sun Oil for nearly 40 years as an instrument technician, and was active in his daughters' and grandchildrens' lives.

Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Loretta; his parents; dad, Ben Osborne; and brother, Joe Osborne.

Bob loved his family, friends, church, country and his Lord. He loved to tell stories that would always include a pearl of wisdom. He never aspired for greatness by the worlds standard. He loved God and followed him. He loved his family and he loved his country proudly serving in the Army. He was very giving, always wanting to make sure his family was taken care of. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Special thank you to the following caregivers who gave wholeheartedly Sandie Porter, Neema Mbago, Lydia Cissy, Joy Shifra, Moureen Mungaya, Laureen Hopf and Kenny Banji.
