Bobby Joe Hadnot
" I've always had a goal to bring about a positive change in our community"
And Bobby Joe, you did just that.
Bobby Joe Hadnot was a lifelong native of Jasper County. He was born on March 27, 1938 to the late Grady Hadnot and Lorraine McCray Green. He was the grandson of the late Tat Hadnot and Ludy Seale Hadnot (paternal) and the late Albert McCray and Francis Johnson McCray (maternal) who raised him in rural Jasper County.
Bobby Joe attended Carver Colored School and graduated from JH Rowe High School in 1956. After high school Bobby Joe attended Prairie View A&M University where he became a certified electrician. In 1962 he was drafted into the US Army where he served for two years after uniting in holy matrimony with Ruthie Jean Mitchell of Jasper, Texas. To their union three children were born.
Upon completion of his military assignment, he returned to Jasper County where he helped his paternal grandfather, Tat Hadnot, in the family logging business, while also helping on the McCray farm and pursuing other interests. During this time, Bobby Joe began his 42 year career with the US Army Corp of Engineers where he held several positions, one of which was being the first African American to be elected president of the Corp’s local American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), a national trade union.
Bobby Joe became involved in local causes in Jasper County and ran for public office. Although never holding an elected position, he remained active in many local organizations and served as president of Citizens for Progress, an organization whose charter was to move forward many of the important causes in the African American community in Jasper during 1980s and1990s.
Retirement was never really in his vocabulary. Whenever he was not busy tending to his livestock and building masterpieces around his home, he was lending a hand and his expertise in the community whenever and wherever duty called. He served as president of the Jasper Rural Water Board and vice-president of the Board of Directors for the Beech Grove Volunteer Fire Department, playing a significant role in bringing the neighborhood its very first fire department. Bobby was also very instrumental in the upkeep of the Indian Creek Cemetery and spearheaded the Indian Creek Cemetery Homecoming celebration each year in July. In addition, he advocated for and urged the community to get out and vote during election seasons and was a powerful, yet gentle, voice of reason for our youth. Bobby Joe was a lifelong member of the historic Dixie Baptist Church where he served as a deacon for many years.
Bobby Joe always had a desire to preserve the history of his community, a trait instilled in him by his grandparents. In recent years, several organizations invited him to share his knowledge about Jasper County and the Dixie Community, and some even recorded his interviews. Therefore, when the opportunity presented itself, he and others who shared a love and passion for Jasper County were instrumental in purchasing what is now known as the Community and Family Historical Preservation Association (CFHPA) located at 7466 FM 2799, Jasper, Texas. The building was formerly the Jasper VFW Post 6380, the Beach Grove School, and the Carver Colored School, respectively. The CFHPA is a facility open to the community to help educate and encourage our youth, and it is a place where families can gather and the community can come together to celebrate all occasions.
However, more than a wonderful and dedicated leader of the community, he was a husband, father, grandfather, brother and a trusted friend to all who knew and loved him. All of these memories and more will be cherished by his devoted wife of 57 years, Ruthie Jean Mitchell Hadnot; children, Vanessa Hadnot Moore (Jimmy) of Cedar Park, Valencia Hadnot of Austin and Dynetro Hadnot (Donitha) of Jasper; beloved grandchildren, Daniel and Dymaia; brothers, Willie Herman King (Sally Ann), Albert Lee Green (Linda Fay), Paul Green (Sheila); sister, Pat Limbrick (Roy); mother-in-law, Dorothy Wright, Brother-in-law Jimmy Wright (Frankie), Presley Wright (Brenda) Markus Duane Wright (Flora) and Lonnie Wright and Sister-in-law Caroline Levias (O.M.) and host of friends & family.
Funeral service will be held Saturday, September 1, 2018 at 2:00 PM at the Hillcrest Baptist Church; 3196 Hwy 190 West, Jasper, Texas 75951. Visitations will be 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM prior to the service. Interment will follow at the Indian Creek Cemetery under the direction of Coleman’s Mortuary in Jasper. In lieu of flowers the family request donations be made to one of Bobby Joe’s beloved organizations: - Indian Creek Cemetery, PO Box 812, Jasper, Texas 75951; -CFHPA, PO Box 1362, Jasper, Texas 75951; -Beech Grove VFD, 143 Private Road 6361, Jasper, Texas 75951.
