Our hearts go out to the Babineaux family and friends of our beloved Bobby. We mourn the loss of such a free spirit and genuine soul, and we're so saddened to of hear the news of his untimely death. What we loved the most about Bobby, was that he had a big heart, he was the 'real deal,' you either take him as he was, or the hell with ya. : ) He had an innate love and appreciation for family and elders, that was affirming. I will never forget when he made his way to SA to sing at my Dad's (Roumell Babino) homegoing service... Now Bobby is going up Younder to be w our Lord; my Dad, his Dad, Nephews, and all our Ancestors whose memories remain in our hearts. R.I.P. dear cousin❣️ Much Love from your SA Cousin, Ada and Aunt Jerry

My sincere condolences and heartfelt prayers go out to the Babineaux family during this trying period of sorrow. Bobby was the genuine article. He was real and steadfast. From the moment I met him atTLC and he told me my name was spelled wrong (Bobino, at the time),we bonded as cousin's do and proceeded to "wreck shop". Rest in Power,Bobby. James Babineaux
