Robert Lamoure

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert James Lamoure, who passed away at the age 57 on March 16, 2023. Bobby, as he was known to his friends and family, passed away peacefully after a short but courageous battle with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Bobby was born on December 24, 1965, in Sacramento, California. He spent his childhood and adolescent years growing up in El Centro, CA, where he attended Central Union High School and graduated in 1984. Bobby had a deep love for the outdoors and adventure and pursued them with great enthusiasm. He had a particular passion for hunting, fishing, kayak fishing, and surfing. His love for these activities will live on in the memories of those who shared them with him.

In 1991, Bobby moved to Joplin, Missouri, in pursuit of another adventure. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Missouri Southern State University and made a life for himself. He was a kind and loving soul, who lived life to the fullest. His memory will be cherished by those who knew him and were touched by his life. Bobby will be deeply missed. Bobby was preceded in death by his grandparents, Robert and Kathleen Carter. He is survived by his mother, Deborah Lamoure; brother, Jeffrey and wife Dawn; nieces and nephew, Kelsey, Kylee, Ireland, and Logan Lamoure; fiancé, Lisa Stokley; and numerous cousins, aunts and uncles.

In a tribute to Bobby’s life, he will be celebrated in a private ceremony. For those who wish to honor his memory in another way, a donation to the American Cancer Society would be a meaningful gesture.

Arrangements are under the direction of Ozark Memorial Park Crematory of Joplin, MO.
