Robert Moody, Jr., 60, went to meet his Savior on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, at his home in Louisville, Mississippi, with his loving family by his side. Funeral services will be Friday, August 22 at 11 a.m. in the Massey Funeral Home Chapel with Reverend Jason Gross officiating. Visitation will be the day of the service from 9:00 a.m. until service time at the funeral home. Interment will immediately follow the service in Good Hope Cemetery. Robert was born February 24, 1965, to Robert Moody, Sr. and Ann Crowson Moody in Louisville. He was a member of Good Hope Baptist Church. For 20 years, Robert was a dedicated employee at Wal-Mart, where his friendly smile and warm personality made him a fixture in the store and a friend to all who walked through the doors. He was known for his unwavering kindness and was the type of person who never met a stranger—he could strike up a conversation with anyone, and his genuine interest in others made everyone feel important. Robert had a deep love for the outdoors and could often be found fishing, riding horses, and enjoying time on 4-wheelers and farm equipment. He loved to eat and enjoyed gathering with friends and family to share a meal. Most of all, Robert loved his family, especially his nieces and nephews and he enjoyed spending time with them.
One of the highlights of his life was becoming the first resident of The Mustard Seed, Inc. in Brandon, Mississippi, a place that held special meaning for him. His kindness, humor, and positive spirit left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Robert is survived by his parents, Robert Moody, Sr. and Ann Crowson Moody; and his sister, Robin Moody Fulton (Buddy) all of Louisville. He is also survived by his nephew, Blake Fulton (Jana); niece, Anna Spence (Cody); and their families, Jude Fulton, Anne Baker Fulton, and Lily Spence. Robert also leaves behind a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and a multitude of friends. Robert was preceded in death by his grandparents, Tatum & Lillian Moody and Darnell and Annie Beth Crowson; and his uncles, Jimmy Crowson and Billy Moody.
