Bobby Reedy Obituary

Bobby G. Reedy, 85, of Troutdale, Va., passed away Jan. 14, 2022, at Hospice House of Bristol, Tenn., after a very brief illness.
He was born to the late Leonard and Effie Henderson Reedy in Grassy Creek, Va., on Jan. 31, 1936.
A U.S. Army veteran, Bobby was stationed in Germany during his service.
An avid outdoorsman, Bobby was well known for his love of hunting and fishing and would share his passion for both with anyone brave enough to try to keep up with him. He loved to laugh and was always ready to share a joke or a funny story with everyone.
In addition to his parents, Bobby was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Barbara Osborne Reedy; his brothers, Gilmer, Willard, David, Jack and Don Reedy; and his sisters, Helen Grinstead, Edith Phipps and Virginia Tuell.
Survivors include his son, Jim (Patty) Reedy of Troutdale, Va.; daughter, Rhonda Reedy, Black Mountain, N.C.; granddaughter, Kate (Devin) Keith of Abingdon, Va.; two step-grandsons, Andrew (Ashley) DeBord and Greg DeBord; several brothers and sisters-in-law; and several nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were private due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, the family invited the public to join them on Friday, Jan. 21, 2022, at 11 a.m. via zoom at :
