John Calvin Bobo (aka Pee Wee and Sho Nuff) was born September 22, 1962 to Arthur Lee Bobo Sr. and Willie Mae Bobo in Tunica, Mississippi.
He confessed his love for Christ at an early age at Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Minister W. Washington. He would walk up to the church on the corner of David and Carnes to commune with God every day until his legs could no longer carry him.
Pee Wee was a jack of all trades and could fix anything from cars, plumbing, to laying concrete, construction and doing floral designs.
He was a very kind and a generous person and would give away the store. He was known around the neighborhood for cooking dinner on Sundays and giving a plate of food to anyone that came by the house requesting a plate. He had an annual birthday barbeque and would invite the neighborhood. He provided everything for the event.
He would do what he could to help anyone until his health began to fail. He lived life as he desired and he will be greatly missed. God picked a rose from his garden named John Calvin Bobo on August 30, 2024 and Pee Wee set sail on the second part of his journey and departed this life peacefully at home.
He was preceded in death by his father Arthur Bobo Sr.; his mother Willie Mae Bobo and grandparents; John and Annie Mae Sherman; and John and Betty Moten; sister Patrica Bobo and his brother Arthur Lee Bobo Jr.
He leaves to mourn and cherish his memories; one God-daughter Shakeidra Logan; two sisters; Bernadine Bobo and La’Kedra (Arthur) Collins two brothers Parnell (Sarah Bobo) and Tarrence Bobo all of Memphis, Tennessee; Two aunts ;Annie Mae Sherman and Joyce Savage of Memphis, Tennessee.
