Robert Randall "Bobby" Pritchard, 78, passed away on February 5, 2025, in Jefferson City, Tennessee following a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Born on November 12, 1946, in Knoxville, Tennessee, Bobby lived a life marked by dedication, kindness, and an unwavering love for family and friends. A proud graduate of Fulton High School, Bobby's early years were filled with a passion for baseball, playing for his school team. Following graduation, he answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Air Force, where he dedicated four years of service. After his military tenure, Bobby embarked on a long and fulfilling career with Norfolk Southern Railway. Over three decades of hard work and commitment led to a well-earned retirement. Beyond his professional life, Bobby was known for his warm heart and generous spirit. He had a deep love for and could often be found enjoying his favorite tunes. A devoted sports fan, especially for the UT Vols, he relished watching games and cheering on his teams. Most importantly, Bobby cherished time spent with family—including his beloved four-legged companions—creating countless memories filled with laughter and love. His sense of humor and playful nature brought joy to those around him. Bobby is survived by his loving wife, Peggy; son Chris Pritchard and his wife Joan; daughter Angela Sellers and her husband Paxton; grandchildren Brandon, Ebby, Adeline, and Caleb; brothers Tommy Pritchard and his wife Christine, and Joe Pritchard and his wife Donna as well as several nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, Trula and Thomas Pritchard. A service to honor Bobby’s life will be held on February 11, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Farrar Funeral Home, located at 411 West Broadway Blvd., Jefferson City, Tennessee. Bobby’s kindness, humor, and giving nature will be deeply missed by all who knew them. His memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched.
