Life story

Bo Plummer was born in Alabama to Glenn Myhr and Beth Plummer in 1960. He has an older sister Susan May and a younger brother Ed Plummer.

Bo grew up playing, hunting, and adventuring in the outdoors of the Alabama and Georgia.

Bo was popular in school and enjoyed sports such as wrestling and football. He met his future wife Jeanie in high-school, but only started dating after they went mudding together and she impressed him by getting out and working on her own car. Bo attended Aubrun University like his mother and sister. While there, he and Jeanie became close and they were married in the fall of 1984.

Bo chose to be a firefighter and worked many years as the driver for his department. He also had a tree trimming service that he worked on his off days. He was very handy and he and Jeanie built a log cabin on a private wooded hill. He learned wood working and built cabinets. He also helped work on his parent's farm.

Bo's father died in a tragic accident and he is buried here in the same cemetery. Bo welcomed his first daughter, Katie, followed closely by Anna, his second daughter. Becky was his last daughter and few years later his son Dallas was born. Bo was a loving father who strongly believed in letting his children try difficult things. He taught them to work hard and play harder. He took the family camping many times a year and taught them all to snowski. He took his family canoeing, snow mobiling, rock climbing, horse back riding, and white water rafting.

Bo loved to travel and had visited almost all 50 states, along with Venezuela, Columbia, Mexico, Egypt, Israel, and French Guiana. Bo wanted his family to have experiences of new cultures and places.

Bo had a strong faith his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He served many years as deacon and Sunday school teacher in Calvary Baptist Church of Rome, GA. He devoted his life to following the teachings of Jesus found in the Bible. He sought to help others and could often be found spending his time working on something for people who needed it.

After he passed due to an accident, many people expressed that they felt that he was his best friend and that he would do anything for them. Twenty years after his death a memorial service was held and the firetruck that was labeled with his name was brought for his grandchildren to see. Although he never got to meet any of them, they all hear stories of "Opa" and how much he influenced the lives of the people around him. He challenged people to be better, do right, and love God.
