Bob Sisson Obituary
Asheville - Robert "Bob" Steele Sisson, 67, went to be with the Lord, following a courageous battle with cancer, on Thursday, September 12, 2019.
He grew up in Mayfield, KY, before moving to Asheville in 1988. He was, along with his wife, Owner & Operator of Tri-State Management. He was a member of West Asheville Baptist Church, where he served as a Deacon, Usher, and on numerous committees.
Bob was a son of the late Edward Nufer Sisson and Cleo Gregory Sisson and was also preceded in death by his brother, Albert E. "Bud" Sisson.

He was an avid University of Kentucky basketball and football fan, loved to play golf, eat a good steak and enjoyed a thick vanilla milkshake. Throughout his journey with cancer, he never lost his faith in God and was a comforter with his sense of humor to all that knew him. He and his daughter always said they loved each other all the way to Heaven and back.
