Robert (Bobby) Best, lifelong Blount County resident, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, December 19, 2022 at the age of 58.  Bobby had a vibrant personality, exceeded only by the skills of his hands and mind.  He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.  Preceded in death by:  mother, Brenda Best and special friend, Melody Daniel.  He leaves behind his lifelong partner, Sandra Daniel and his special love, Addison Whitehead.  Bobby had friends that, in all actuality, were family to him.  He is also survived by several brothers and a sister.  Special thank you to the Smith Funeral Home family, where Bobby was employed, but especially to the Chambers and Gibson Families.  The world is a little less special without Bobby in it.  Friends may call at their convenience between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm on Monday, December 26, 2022 and Tuesday, December 27, 2022 at Smith Funeral Home.  Smith Funeral & Cremation Service, Maryville, 865-983-1000, www.SmithFuneralandCremation.com.
