Robert Abshear Obituary

Robert Abshear, 73, left this life here on April 17, 2022. Robert was a passionate musician and songwriter; music was his life. Not only was he passionate about music but he also loved his cat, Wally, spending time with his loved ones and friends, flowers, gardening, food, and fishing. He was a proud father of six children, Robert (Jenny), Jeffery (Angela), Teresa, Karen (David), Kristi, and Crystal (Clay). He also survived by 21 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, two sisters, Rachel and Alice; brother, James; and his precious mother, Elsie; and a host of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Toni, father, James Jr., and brother, William.

Special thanks to his best friend John for showing him all the love and friendship through the years. Special thanks to his granddaughter, McKenzie for his frogs (which he loved) you were "his baby". Special thanks also to Bluegrass Care Navigators for supporting him through his journey to heaven, Last but not least thanks to his boys Thomas, Dustin, and Dale for giving him the best concert he ever went to and carrying on his love of music.
