Bobby Joseph Elliott was born in Lee County, Mississippi, to the late Bobby James Elliott and Sarah Lee on October 3, 1972. He went to Mooreville High School. He was a self-employed mechanic all his working life before becoming disabled. He enjoyed working with his hands, repairing engines, and generally piddling in his shop.

A great outdoorsman, Joe enjoyed fishing, wheeling and dealing, auto repair, grilling and cooking, and being with his family and his fellow volunteer firemen. He loved spending time with his grandchildren.

He was a devoted volunteer fireman in the town of Shannon. He became the fire department chef and was a great conversationalist and all-around great and loving guy. He loved being with his fire guys all the time. I have heard many stories about their gatherings.

He departed this earth and left behind his wife of ten years, four daughters, and one grandson. He now has two more grandchildren who entered this world without their PawPaw.

He left this earth doing what he loved doing. He will always be dearly loved and missed.
