Dit Robert "Bobby" Buford passed away at the age of 77 on September 24, 2025 at The Eastern Montana Veterans Home in Glendive, Montana. He was born in Franklin, Tennessee on July 16, 1948 to Fred and Alice Carroll.

Bobby was married twice and had three sons. Bobby's first wife was Dorothy Dorton with whom he had one child, Bobby Buford Jr. Bobby's second wife was Pam and they shared two sons, Chris and Matthew Buford.

Bobby was a proud member of our country and served in United States Army. When he lived in Tennessee in his younger years he worked as a CPS at The George Boot Company. His second passion were cars and engines. He was a lifelong mechanic. He used that knowledge when he worked for the O'Reilly Auto Parts Store in Miles City.

He also loved to sing, especially southern gospel and country western music. Bobby was a faithful member of The First Baptist Church. His singing will be missed at church.

Bobby is survived by his three sons Bobby, Chris, and Matthew Buford and two special friends Starla Williams and Pastor Alan Brown.
