Herman Buddy Cash

WOODBRIDGE – Herman “Buddy” Cash, 89, passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center on the morning of June 18, 2017.
Buddy is survived by his loving wife of 68 years Jeanene Cash; his daughters and “sons” Cynthia and Doug Christian; Donna and Tommy Wighington; granddaughter Shannon Wighington; sisters Edna Brightwell and Geraldine McFaden; sister-in-law Joyce Gaddy, brother-in-law Earl Feagans; “granddogs” Sable and Tara; and many close friends.
Born and raised in Lynchburg, VA of the Baptist faith, he was the son of the late Harry and Maggie Cash. Buddy honorably served his country as a member of the United States Navy from 1946-1948 and on a weekend joy ride, met the love of his life, Jeanene Feagans. They married on February 26, 1949 and in July of 1962, he made Woodbridge, VA his new home with his wife and two daughters.
Buddy’s first love and priority was always his family. He was the patriarch of the family and a father figure to many. His passion for street rods is a love that is shared across the family. A master welder and a jack of all trades, there wasn’t a task too big or small that he wouldn’t tackle. In his later years, he enjoyed spending time at his other home at Cobb Island, MD with the ones he loved.
Services will be held at Mountcastle Cunningham Turch Funeral Home at 13318 Occoquan Rd Woodbridge, VA on June 30, 2017 at 2pm.
Those who knew and loved Buddy are welcome to attend his memorial service. He will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.
