I will forever love my dear Grandpa, Bobby C. Brannan. Not one day goes by that I don't think of him or miss him. He was more than family, he was a friend and I know he is rejoicing on Heaven's streets with his Savior and family. He is truly loved and missed by many. We always did something together, whether big or small. I will forever treasure the memories of him and I cannot wait to see him again.
Drake Brannan,
Bobby's Grandson
Debbie and I are so sorry for your loss. We will miss Bobby. You are in our prayers.
Truly a great man and a Conway institution has left us. What a class act. Prayers for the family during this most difficult time of loss. God bless.
May God bring you comfort in the loss of your dear loved one. The Brannan's are known by all of Faulkner County and other surrounding counties and played a huge part of all those who grew up in the 5-'s 60's and 70's. What a great family they are. Bobby will be missed. I know he will put a smile on the face of all those in Heaven.
Bob Brannan will be missed, especially by some of us that grew up on Brannan's drive-in and home made lemon and lime aide.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Brannan family.
God Speed

So sorry for your loss. What a great man. He will be missed.
We regret Bob's passing, but are thankful to have known him and his family many years ago.
We pray God's comfort for his family as they walk through this "valley of the shadow of death."
Nothing but good times and great friendship to remember. Always said he was the most handsome groomsman in our wedding! Can't say anything much better than what Henry says, "Bobby was one of the GOOD ones". Indeed, he was and will be remembered for all his GOOD! Seems, most importantly, that he loved his Lord, so all is well with his soul, and for that, we are grateful.

We are so sorry for your loss and will continue to keep
you all in our prayers.
Frank Jr., Billy, & ALL the Brannan Clan,
So sorry for your loss. Bobby was a Dear Friend back in the Days of Franks' Famous Footlong Hot Dogs.
He taught me how to jump on the trampolines and at times, I could almost out do him.
I was fortunate to have visited with him last year at The Fish House in Conway. That was the first time I had seen him since High School.
He was one of the finest people that ever came out of CHS.
ALL my Prayers & Condolences to the Family.
Frank ie Kinard
Dear Family,
We know this one thing for sure - somewhere there is dancing in Heaven. We loved this wonderful Conway icon who defined so well the warm and welcoming personality of City. What a difference he made for all of us who knew him well and for those whose lives he touched through his generous service along life’s way. He made life fun for all of us and we treasure every memory of him! What a blessing he was! We love each of you and please know you are in our prayers.
My condolences and prayers to the wife and family of Bobby Brannon. Bobby was a really kind, caring and supportive person when I was around or ran into him. He always knew what to say to make you smile. I will dearly miss him because of that.
I was so sorry to hear about Bob. I will always remember him for his friendship and big smile. My thoughts and prayers are with
his family. God Bless
“May God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace by means of your faith in him, so that your hope will continue to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
Rest in Peace, Uncle Bob. Your fun-loving spirit will be missed, but not forgotten. Thinking of you all with love during this difficult time.
Bob always had a smile for everyone. I will always remember his caring spirit! May the Lord be with his family at this time!!!
Pasty & Family , I am praying for you all that God will give you peace & comfort . Love you.
How sad to learn of Bob's passing. He was such a kind and dear soul - truly a friend to everyone who knew him. We mourn with the family in his passing, and look forward to that certain reunion we will have with him in the clouds when we meet the Lord in the air.
In love and prayers,
Ann & Ed
Bobby was definitely one of the most caring members of our class. He was always there to offer help and support to others, and he was always positive and accepting of others. He was the last person I spoke with when leaving the recent, mini-reunion when he said, "I hope God has blessed you over the years." He did by putting you in my life, Bobby. My condolences to his family.
Bobby you were one of a kind and to say you will be missed is to simply state the obvious. I am not looking forward to our next class reunion as you were always one of the ones who helped with the planning and you did most of the cooking. For your final voyage may you have a favoring wind and fair seas.
We are so very sorry for your loss. Mr. Brannan was such a nice man. He was always smiling. We will be praying for his family and friends during this difficult time.
Family, may you find comfort in your loving memories and the warmth of family and friends. There is great hope in the beautiful promise at Revelation 21:4 when death and pain will be gone forever after God restores his original purpose for the earth. Then we may again see our loved ones whom we have lost in death (John 5:28 & 29). Please accept our condolences as you deal with your loss.
We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Brannon touched many lives. And always had a smile! He will be missed by many!

My dear friend Bobby, you will be terribly missed by those of us left behind. The class of 60 is one less here and will be hard pressed to fill the void. Thanks for all the wonderful upbeat memories. We will reunite again soon. I love you my Friend.
My condolences to the family. He gave me a job when I was a teenager. A pleasure to work for him.
Our deepest sympathy. Bobby was a special man.
Sherry & Mike
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time!
So sorry for your loss. Family are in my prayers. Bobby was a very sweet man that would truly help anyone he could. He will be missed by so many.
Family and friends are in my prayers
One of the original "good guys"! Gone but not forgotten.
Chris, Beverly and boys, and all your Dad's family and friends, we are sorry for your loss, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything you need, please get in touch with us.
How sad to hear of the passing of my dear friend Bobby. I will always remember the good times we had in school, CHS band, hanging out at Frank's Drive-In, miniature golf, jumping on the trampolines (he looked like a pro doing it), and on & on I could go. You were a great friend Bobby & a great person. My heart & prayers go out to your family. You will be missed by all who knew you and loved you. May you Rest In Peace.
