Robert "Bob" Crabtree, age 79, was born on January 20, 1947, and passed away peacefully on November 10, 2026.
Bob was a devout Christian and a down-to-earth and traditional man whose life revolved around his work as an accountant. He had a special knack for numbers and was never shy about sharing his feelings about the IRS. A lover of whiskey and cigars, he enjoyed football, especially cheering for the Tennessee Volunteers.
Bob cherished his time at the beach and loved making the drive down to Florida. He was an avid reader, with a particular interest in true crime stories. Most importantly, he missed his beloved wife, Cynthia, deeply.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Jesse Crabtree Sr. and Myrtle Marie Pentecost; his brother, Stephen Anthony Crabtree; sister, Myrt Selene Seals; and his loving wife, Cynthia Lynn Crabtree.
Bob is survived by:
Stepson: David Michael Stegall Jr.
Brother: Richard Crabtree
Sisters: Margie Crabtree Crockett and Judy Marie Klimzack
Sisters-in-law: Sandra Crabtree
He is also survived by his longtime friend and caretaker, Kevin McGee, and his loving dog, Smoochie.
Bob's warmth and humor touched the lives of many, and he will be remembered for his love of family and friends.
A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at Mt. Olivet Cemetery at 1:00 p.m. Friends and family are welcome to join us in remembering Bob's life and the joy he brought to those around him.
