  1. Robby Brannon was one of the finest men I have ever known. I met him when we were kids in school, in 1969. We remained friends into adulthood and I visited with him the evening before his heart attack. He was a great friend, a husband, a father, brother and devoted to his church and community. He is missed and always remembered.
