Bobby Wofford Mathis, Jr. passed away Monday, November 28, 2022 in Doctor's Hospital of Augusta. He was the son of the late Bobby W. Mathis and Beulah Varnadore Mathis Wright. He is survived by his half-brother, Travis E. Wright of Great Falls; aunt, Brenda V. Price of Columbia.

He played JV football for GFHS. He was a 1983 graduate of Great Falls High School. Bobby raced motorcycles in his youth. At the age of 15 he had a traumatic and paralyzing motorcycle accident. He never lost his zest for life and enjoyed Clemson football, racing, cars, and other sports. He had an aversion for bullies and he would take up for those unable to defend themselves or those being victimized. In fact he was very good at accurately hurling a wheelchair arm into someone needing a "gentle" reminder to back off.

In lieu of flowers it is suggested that memorials be given in Bobby's memory to the Shriners Hospital 930 W. Farris Road, Greenville, SC 29605.

A memorial service will be held 11:00 a.m. Saturday, December 10, 2022 at Mount Zion Baptist Church. Reverend John Wilson will officiate and those wishing to share memories and stories about Bobby are encouraged to share them to help celebrate and remember his life.
