Atkinson County Citizen - November 13, 2014
  Bobby Jewell, 58, of Homerville, left this life peacefully on November 3, 
2014, surrounded by his family. He is now in the embrace of the Lord’s saving 
grace and those precious family members who went before him. Echoes of his 
laughter of his laughter will live on and on.
 Bobby was born the third son of Billy and Doris Davis Jewell, October 14, 1956. 
Raised in Willacoochee, he graduated Atkinson County High School in 1974. He 
attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton and studied Forestry 
from 1974 – 1976.
 Bobby married the love of his life Robbin Steedley and the two made Clinch 
County their home where their long lasting devotion to each other flourished for 
25 years before his passing.
 His father Billy, mother Doris, eldest brother Bill Jr., and stepmother, 
Loleta, preceded him death. 
 His loving family members remaining, his wife, “Roo” Robin Steedley-Jewell; 
four brothers, Danny Jewell of Jacksonville, Michael Jewell (Brenda) of Enigma, 
John Jewell (Tonya) of Patterson and Allen Jewell (Kimberly) of Nichols; three 
sisters, Shannon Jewell Taft (Kenneth) of Manor, Tammy Jewell Walker (Robert) of 
Valdosta and Alice Jewell-Hamilton (Bing)  of Pearson; three stepsisters, Diane 
Browning (Terry) of Pearson, Debra Browning-Burch (Ronnie) of Nichols and Donna 
Browning-Day (Jamie) of Brunswick; several nieces, nephews, great nieces, great 
nephews, uncles, aunts and cousins. Bobby was especially fond of his precious 
aunt, La Trell Rogers, and his lifelong buddy-cousin, Lee Mock, both of Alapaha.
 The family will hold a private Celebration of Life honoring his wishes of the 
release of his ashes into the Alapaha River in Willacoochee.
Before passing, Bobby hoped that those who knew and loved him would honor his 
memory by donating a bag of groceries to a struggling family. In his life, he 
often lamented the fact that one in every three children across every city and 
town in America are hungry.
 Pay it forward was his wish where no child has to go hungry.
 “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except thru 
Me” John 14:6
 Roundtree Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements.
