Robert Allen Radford, Sr.

June 28, 1963 — May 22, 2025

Robert Allen Radford, Sr., known as Robbie, passed away at home on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at the age of 61. He was born in St. Louis on June 28, 1963, to the late Clifford and Shirley (Culp) Radford.

Robbie had a zest for life, enjoying simple pleasures such as playing pool, listening to music—especially Guns and Roses, horseback riding, and camping. He cherished time spent outdoors, often found swimming at the river or working diligently in his garden. The Fourth of July held a special place in his heart, being one of his favorite holidays.

Family meant everything to Robbie. He was known for his generosity and willingness to help others. He leaves behind a loving wife, Sheila Radford; a son, Robert Allen Radford Jr.; and six grandchildren: Aleisha (Matthew) Jenkerson, Devin (Susie) Radford, Christopher Radford, Kelsey (Bryon) Bourbon Jr., Lydia Pratt, and Robbie Hafner. He also had two great-grandchildren, Maci Jenkerson and Erin Radford. Robbie is survived by two siblings, Rose Marie (Byford) Friend and Pam Cunningham, and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Robbie was preceded in death by his parents, Clifford and Shirley Radford; his son, Christopher Radford; brothers Billy Radford and Clifford Radford Jr.; sister Rosemary DeRousse; nephew Michael DeRousse; mother-in-law Juanita Ham; sister-in-law Phyllis Ham; and brother-in-law Kevin Strange.
