Bobby Don Youngblood was born August 10, 1937 in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas and died December 25, 1995 in Indio, Riverside County, California. He was the son of Frank Allen Youngblood and Nell Marie Routh. He was the father of five children: having three sons and two daughters.
The judge was a veteran of the United States Marine Corps (Reserve) and was a Military Police Officer in the United States Army. After his military service, he became a sworn police officer with the Santa Ana, California Police Department and subsequently owned and operated his own private investigative and security agency while attending law school.
He was Law Review, Dean's List and Editor and resident cartoonist for The Pepperdine Advocate at the Pepperdine University School of Law, where he graduated fifth in his class receiving his Juris Doctor degree from that institution. Before being elected to the bench he maintained a private law practice in Santa Ana, California. He has been profiled in "Who's Who in California," and "Who's Who in American Law."
The judge was often a lightning rod for controversy during his time on the bench and once described as "either a walking time bomb who invites trouble, or a rehabilitated bad boy on his way to becoming a decent Orange County municipal court judge." People frequently referred to him as "a gunslinger who's the reincarnation of Roy Bean," the Texas judge who became a legend for his hard-nosed brand of frontier justice.
After his 1986 retirement from the Central Orange County California Municipal Court, the judge left the United States and moved to Europe, residing for a period of time in the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, and in the Central American Country of Belize. After a short sojourn back to Taylor County, Texas (proving that, indeed, you can't go back) he returned to California and continued to practice law in the City of Orange, California. At the time of his death, the judge was a resident of La Quinta, California.
