Bobby was a graduate of Denham Springs High School. He was a long time tool mechanic for TSR in Baton Rouge before his retirement. After retirement he began working part time building tools, along side the late Bonnie Selby & Trey Ourso, who became like family.
Bobby enjoyed spending his days working on things, fixing anything he could, and when he wasn’t working he loved spending time with family & fishing. Preferably spec fishing in Golden Meadow, where he and his late wife would spend their weekends.
Bobby is survived by his son, Aaron Bailey and his 4 daughters and their spouses: Christy & George Glass, Misty & Jeremy Forbes & Cassy & Anthony Smith. 11 Grandchildren: Clayton & Carley Glass, Kenley, Blane & Hadley Forbes, Emily Blocker, Joshua, Caleb & Paul Mayfield, Kayden & Kallie Smith and 1 Great Grandson, Owen Blocker.
And numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and close family friends.
Bobby is preceded in death by his wife, Frances “Fran” Bailey, his parents, Walter “Bill” Bailey & Elizabeth “Liz” Bailey & 2 brothers Tommy & Jimbo Bailey.
Bobby’s family would like to thank their families, friends and loved ones for their love, support and prayers.
They would also like to thank the nurses, aids & staff at St. Joesphs Carpenter House for their kindness and support during his time there.
In lieu of flowers, the family request those who wish to express their sympathy to consider making a donation to St. Joseph’s Carpenter House (www.stjosephhospicefoundation.org/donations.php) in the name of Michael “Bobby” Bailey.
Feel free to honor Bobby by wearing a Bass Pro shirt and/or blue Jean button up, as we know he would love to be remembered in that way.

I am so sorry to hear of Bobby’s passing. My husband and I went to DSHS with Bobby and I also worked with him at TSR.
Praying for all of his family.
