Rev. Bobby was born in Mullins, South Carolina on February 22, 1951, a son to the late Robert Preston Byrd and the late Rose Marie White Byrd. Other than being a faithful servant to his Lord, Rev. Bobby was a loving husband, caring father, and grandfather, and overall, a genuine, warmhearted friend to many he met. Rev. Byrd was a graduate of Mullins High School Class of 1969. He went on to graduate from Charleston Southern University, earned his Master of Divinity from Andersonville Seminary, and was currently working on his Doctorate. Rev. Byrd did what he loved for close to 50 plus years, he pastored.
Rev. Bobby touched many a soul and heard countless prayers and comforted hundreds if not thousands over his career.

Byrd was also thoroughly active as Director of Mission on the Marion County and South Carolina Baptist Associations. Rev. Byrd was a United States Army veteran having served his country when he was called upon. Rev. Bobby enjoyed and loved spending time with his family and friends, chances to catch up, share a joke, or speak kindly to someone were at the top of the list for Bobby, and if you had a pot of coffee handy, he'd be glad to help you drink it, for he was an avid coffee drinker according to his family.
