September 25, 1943 – April 15, 2020
Robert E. Bland passed into eternity suddenly on April 15, 2020 due to complications from Agent Orange. Although Bob had struggled with many illnesses over the years and knew his departure from this earth was near, the timing was unexpected.
Robert leaves behind his wife of 40 years, Kathy, one brother and his spouse, two sisters and their spouses, one daughter and her spouse, two grandchildren, a godson and his family, many beloved nephews and nieces, and his church family.
He loved living in Elizabethton and will be missed by many.
The Memorial “Service” is being held via YouTube. https://youtu.be/_pQt5PTIJvo
There will be a military service at the V.A. when the cremains are returned many months from now.
