ROBERT ELLIS BUCHANAN
Bob joined with the Lord on September 28, 2017 leaving his beloved wife, Patti, and son, Josh. Also, his siblings, Susan Taylor, Karin Buchanan, Ed Buchanan, and many family members.
Bob was a Master Electrician and employed at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for 25 years serving as Senior Facilities Operations Specialist – Energy Manager. He was well respected by the staff for his professional performance, and his demeanor in and on the job.
56 years young, Bob walked closely with the Lord enjoying Christian music, and was an avid hunter and fisherman. He frequently hit the woods and the water. Not only did the family enjoy the fruits of his labor, he donated regularly to Hunters for the Hungry.
Bob enjoyed spending time with Josh. They recently went on a motorcycle ride together, it would be their first and last ride.
A person of his caliber is difficult to find. His life as a husband, father, and family oriented individual showed the type of man he was. His selfless spirit and gracious giving to his family and friends, will long be remembered. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at the Pierce Funeral Home, Manassas, Virginia at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday October 7, 2017 with burial to follow at Woodbine Church and Cemetery.
