Bobby Joe Shuff, 66, of Winnsboro, Louisiana, passed away unexpectedly on October 19th while recovering from surgery. He was a proud Veteran of the United States Army last serving as Sargent in the 50th Expeditionary Signal Battalion in Germany. Although his struggle with mental illness made for a difficult life for him and his family at times, big dreams and an even bigger heart drove him in his latter years to return to the town of his birth to set down roots on family land. His plan was to live off the land, have animals of all kinds, and create a beautiful and peaceful oasis for himself to live and for his children and grandchildren to visit.

Bobby is survived by his children: Christopher Shuff, Danielle Bastoe (Scott), Billy Burtchaell (Treasure), Crystal Shuff, Reece Shuff (Jennifer) and Morgan Alvarez (Ryan) as well as 15 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren . He is also survived by his loving companion, Carrie Sue Navarro, and his siblings: Charles Shuff (Janice), Faye Huffman, Doris DiLeo, Patsy Martin (Gary) and Judy Standige (Zack).

Bobby was preceeded in death by his parents: Arthur & Violet Shuff, daughter Angel Baynes, brother Michael Shuff, brothers-in law Dr. Lucas DiLeo and Brooks Huffman.

Family and friends will gather to celebrate his life on Saturday, November 12th at The Maple Room in Slidell, LA from 11am – 2pm.
