Alexander Winstead Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Buddy served four years in the United States Army before earning his degree from Murray State University. His career as an industrial engineer culminated in his retirement from Leggett & Platt. Retirement brought new adventures as he embraced life on the water as a master captain, often traveling to Chesapeake Bay in Maryland to work on his cherished boat, Sugar Magnolia.
A man of many talents, Buddy was an accomplished woodworker who also enjoyed cooking and listening to music. He had a lifelong passion for car racing and sports. His humor was unforgettable-his clever "Buddisms" were legendary.
Buddy was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 57 years, Sharon Joan Kingcade Winstead; his father, Alexander F. Winstead; and his mother, Muzell Bryant Winstead.
He is lovingly remembered by his children: Bryan (Cheryl) Winstead, Beth (Tony) Etherington, and Joni Winstead; his sister Daisy (Joe) Rocha; grandchildren Alexandra Winstead, Logan and Abby Etherington, Stephanie Sillah, and Michael Rose; great-grandchildren Isabella and Malik Sillah and Paisley Rose; and his devoted dog Ollie.
A visitation will be held on September 23, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Tucker, Yocum & Wilson Funeral Home, 320 W. Main St. A graveside service will follow on September 24, 2025, at Slaughter Cemetery, 2225 Hwy 1835 in Slaughters, KY.
