He was born on September 12, 1959, in Sedalia, the son of Robert William Mullineaux Sr., who preceded him in death, and Evelyn M. (Fry) Mullineaux, who survives and resides in Sweet Springs, MO.

On March 31, 2007, in Dresden, MO, he was united in marriage to Amy Kathleen Rodenberg, who survives at their home.

Leonard Wood. After his military service, Bob began working at Rival Manufacturing in Sweet Springs. He later joined Hayes Wheels (now Maxion Wheels) in Sedalia, where he dedicated 36 years of hard work before retiring.

A devoted Christian, Bob lived his life with faith at the forefront. He was Baptized at First Baptist Church, Sedalia, when he was 30 years old and was a Royal Ambassador Leader. He was most recently attending Life Pointe Church, Sedalia. Bob was known for his generosity, his love for his family, and his willingness to help anyone in need. He cherished time with family and friends and was especially proud of his children and grandchildren.

Bob enjoyed playing golf and cornhole, and he was a passionate fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals. He was also well-known for his cooking skills, particularly his love of barbecuing and preparing meals for gatherings - especially during the holidays.
