(From Ozark Funeral Home)Robert Edgar “Bob” Buttram, 80, of Anderson, Missouri, passed away on Sunday, October 18, 2020 at Mercy Hospital Joplin, Missouri.
Born May 31, 1940 in Albuquerque, New Mexico to John H. and Evelyn (Welch) Buttram, Bob led a varied life greatly enjoying golf, fantasy league sports, and bridge.
Through his struggles Bob was finally rewarded with the happiness of his grandchildren, grandnieces, and grandnephews. He loved keeping in touch with each and every one of them as well as wishing them each a happy birthday. It was rare for Bob not to be the first one to call with birthday wishes.
The family would like him to be remembered for the love he had and how he made each and every grandchild, niece or nephew feel special. He had a joke ready on any and all occasions and if you were lucky enough to physically be with him maybe even a piece of candy.
For those of us fortunate enough to spend time with him we found him extremely competitive and always willing to play board games and cards. To be counted among the few who bested Bob at cards or fantasy football, you know it was indeed a special moment in your life.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents and brothers: Jack Buttram, John Buttram, and Ray Buttram .
Bob is survived by his children, Robert Michael Buttram, wife Ana, children Alexandra, Robby, and Michael of Spring, Texas; Michelle Guppy, husband Todd, children Mathew and Brandon of Cypress, Texas, Robert Einar Holt, wife Pamela, children Noah and Olivia of Middleburg, VA; eight grandchildren and one great grandchild along with numerous nephews and nieces as well as hosts of other family and friends who will dearly miss Bob.
Bob was one of seven siblings and is survived by brothers, William Buttram of Gravette, Arkansas, James Buttram of Lanagan, Missouri; sisters, Frances Cook of Diamond, Missouri,
Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 21, 2020 at Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson, Missouri. Pastor Dennis Bergen officiating. Viewing will be held at the funeral home one hour prior to the service.
