    This news has broken my heart. Bobby was a pleasure to be around. I taught him at Southside Virginia Community College and had the pleasure of working with him for a while. He was always smiling and so easy to talk to. I am sure going to miss him. His whole family is in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Bobby!

    I cannot think of a time when I saw Bobby that he was not smiling. He would always go out of his way to say hello to me and I will miss seeing him at his shop when I walk in Kenbridge. I also saw how important his faith was to him and the love that he had for his church family at KBC. Prayers to all of his family and friends ❤️

    I cannot think of a time when I saw Bobby that he was not smiling. He would always go out of his way to speak and not just for the sake of saying hello, he would call me by my name and genuinely ask me how I was or tell me to have a good day. I will miss him on my walks through Kenbridge. I also remember Bobby from my time at KBC, his faith in God and love for his church family were ever present. Prayers to the family ❤️
    Posted by Candace Barnette on 09/13/2022 - 11:10 PM
    To me, Bobby will always be that young guy who wanted me to help him with sports and asked me how I got the football spiral to turn over in the air like he saw on TV - we instantly became close and all I can remember and will remember is him smiling and us having so much fun - he made my life better and I am thankful and honored that I got to know him early in life, I love you Bobby and I hope you will rest in paradise my friend.
    Posted by Ricky Schnepf on 09/13/2022 - 11:21 PM
    My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. May god be with his family during this time of healing.

    The loss of this young man has devastated our community. He cut my children's hair when they were younger and they walked away happy. The good lord picks his fruit when it's most ripe. He will be missed. So sorry for the family loss. If we could only turn back the hands of time much would be different in this world. We will miss you. Love your family

    Robert Eugene “Bobby” Pennington, 41 , of Kenbridge, unexpectedly passed away on September 10, 2022 as a passenger in a fatal car accident. “Bobby” as you would know him, was the youngest of Everett and Nancy Pennington’s three children. We remember most fondly his time as Bob the Barber; a local fixture in the Town of Kenbridge over the last 8 years, Bobby was the owner and sole proprietor of his beloved barber shop. Many will have had the pleasure of seeing his joy as he cut hair, always with a smile and good conversation. Some might better remember him as a baseball player in his youth, or a deer hunter in the fall or fishing at the family pond. Occasionally you might have seen him with his ever present companion, his dog, Lucky. Many know him as a relative or simply as a friend. We remember him today as our boy, working on his life, working to improve himself and overcome the challenges that life brings to all of us with an infectious laugh and a deep personal faith. He is survived by his parents Everett Lee Pennington and Nancy Abernathy Pennington; his brother, Everett Lee “Buddy” Pennington, Jr.; his sister, Bonnie P. Johnson and husband Steve; aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and many friends. He was a member of Kenbridge Baptist Church where a celebration of his life will be held Saturday, September 17, 2022 at 11am. In lieu of flowers please consider donations to the Kenbridge Baptist Church, P.O. Box 445, Kenbridge, VA 23944 or to the Southside SPCA, 797 Starlight Lane, Kenbridge, VA 23974 or Lunenburg Ministries, P.O.
