Robert “Bobby” L. Carden, Jr. was born on June 10, 1960 to Robert and Helen Carden. He resided in Winterboro, Alabama and was a proud graduate of Winterboro High School, class of 1979. He made a career in commercial construction building and overseeing primary hospital and school projects. As God planned it, he worked his last years for The Talladega County Board of Education as The Head of Maintenance. While there, he was honored to oversee the new construction of his Alma mater.
