Robert Bohannon

July 4, 1944 - April 13, 2020

Robert L, "Bob" Bohannon, Sr. (75) of Cecilia, KY, went home to be with the Lord, Monday, April 13th, 2020. Born in Louisville on the 4th of July, 1944. Robert was a loving husband to Patricia Bohannon for 59 years. Robert grew up in Louisville and was preceded in death by his parents, Lourine and Edwin Bohannon and his granddaughter, Rebecca Bohannon. While residing in Louisville, he worked for 14 years at Brown and Williamson. After moving to Cecilia, he worked for Gates Rubber Company, where he retired. He enjoyed time with his family, a good Western movie, fishing, gospel and country music, dancing with his wife, gardening, planting flowers and UK basketball. He was quick-witted and was always up for a good joke. A brilliant mind, who loved to work in his garage on a variety of projects. Besides his wife, Robert is survived by four children; Robert Bohannon, Jr.(Robin) of Cecilia, Tammy Thomas of Eastview, Robbin Richie (Woody) of Lawrenceburg, and Joy Gray of Cecilia. 10 grandchildren Jennifer, Jessica, Sean, Samantha, Justin, Katelynn, Brooklynn, Gracie, Jaylynn, and Colton. Four great-grandchildren: Ethan, Braeden, Hailey, and Forrest, and one due in July. And, his four-legged sidekick, Chicka. Robert was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, who will be greatly missed. A true Patriarch! A tremendous loss for his family and all, who had the privilege to know him. His advice for any stressful situation was, "You'll know when you've had enough." A memorial to celebrate his life will be scheduled, once we all feel safe enough to embrace one another.
