Bobby Wagoner Obituary

Bobby Ray Wagoner

Jun 9, 1948 - Oct 21, 2025

Bobby Ray Wagoner, born June 9, 1948, died Tuesday, October 21, 2025, after suffering with the painful disease, Parkinson's.

He was the son of Junior and Mary Pruitt Wagoner. Bobby leaves behind his wife, Donna; and two sons, Tim and Mark (Amber) Wagoner. He had six grandsons, C.J. (Taylor), Josh (Natalie), Casey (Destiny), Gabe (Haylee), and Garrett Wagoner. He had two granddaughters, Katie (Jack) Kelly and Cheyenne Wagoner. Bobby was preceded in death by his grandson, Tyler Wagoner. He had five beloved great-granddaughters, Savannah, Elizabeth, Lilly, Hana, and Lacey Wagoner. He was proud of them all! He also leaves behind a brother, Mike (Sherry) Wagoner; and two sisters, Barbara (Roger) Edwards and Tammy (David) Barker. He loved his nieces and nephews. Bobby was loved by all.

Bobby proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He reached the rank of Sergeant.

He worked for RJ Reynolds for 30 years and enjoyed it very much. He loved his job and working in his yard the most. That was his biggest pleasure and it always looked nice.

The family would like to thank Linda and Laiken with Adoration Home Health for their kindness and support before Bobby's care in hospice. They would also like to thank Danni who in the last few months was especially helpful in trying to ease his pain.

The celebration of Bobby's life will be held on Friday, October 24th, at 11 a.m. at Vogler Funeral & Cremations, 3815 Yadkinville Rd.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Trellis Supportive Care, a wonderful organization that provides superb care and support.
