Bobby Wilkerson, 72, of Daviess County, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on August 16, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.

He is preceded in death by his father, William C. Wilkerson; mother, Georgia Mae Wilkerson; father-in-law Robert P. Aud; mother-in-law Pauline (Dunnie) Aud; granddaughter, Bailey Grace Ralph; and brother, Larry Wilkerson.
