Robert “Bobby” Franklin Hall, age 74, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 21, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. A man of quiet strength, boundless generosity, and a heart full of gold. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness and service that touched everyone who knew him.
Known for his sharp wit and perfectly timed comebacks, Bobby had a sense of humor that lit up everyone’s room. He loved to pick on those he cared about, delivering his playful jabs with a satisfied grin. Behind the jokes was a man who would drop everything to help a neighbor, friend, or stranger in need. His loyalty to his family was unwavering, and his love ran deep. Bobby was a rock for those around him – a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and loyal friend.
He also had a passion for cowboy shooting—a true cowboy and “Kidd at heart,” always ready with a steady aim and a good story. His passion for cowboy shooting brought him joy and camaraderie. Whether competing in events or simply spending time with fellow enthusiasts, he embodied the spirit of the Old West. Whether out on the range or surrounded by loved ones, he lived life with grit, laughter, and kindness.
Bobby was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Dorothy Hall, and his daughter Jessica. He is survived by his loving wife, Brenda Hall; his grandchildren, Robby, Heather, Brendan, Alyssa, Jaylen, Brayden, and Victoria; and his great-grandchildren, Carson, Katie Grace, Brinleigh, and Jessica, who will carry his spirit forward with every laugh, every story, and every act of generosity.
A celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at 5:00 PM at Peninsula Funeral Home, 11144 Warwick Blvd, Newport News, VA 23601.
