Bob A. Addington
Former Owner/Operator
In Loving Memory
Coeburn, VA
Bob A. Addington, owner and operator of Estes Funeral Home in Coeburn, VA since 1981, passed away unexpectedly at his home on the morning of April 10, 2020. Bob was born on September 30, 1948 in Neon, KY to Roy N. and Ruby Boggs Addington. Bob was a police officer for Norton Police Department for several years in the 1970’s. Bob was a long time member of the Coeburn Lion’s Club and National Funeral Directors Association, as well as the Coeburn Masonic Lodge #97. Bob also worked for several years as a heavy equipment operator in the coal mining business. He was proud of both of these jobs and enjoyed talking to his friends for hours about his past life experiences. Some things Bob also enjoyed were fishing, spending time on his five generation family farm, and talking with his friends each night on his amateur radio. What brought Bob the most enjoyment was his immediate family and all the families he had served for the past 39 years, as a funeral director. He would spend many evenings and weekends behind his desk at the funeral home waiting for his close friends to stop by to share a cup of coffee and snacks with him.
Bob was preceded in death by his wife Janet Sizemore Addington, both parents, Roy N. and Ruby Boggs Addington, father and mother-in- law Robert and Nancy Qualls Sizemore, sister-in-law and brothers-in- law Delores Kegley, Paul Kegley, and Kenneth (Buddy) Sizemore.
Bob is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Lisa Addington-Mason and Adam, Norton, VA, son Bobby Addington, Jr., Aldie, VA, grandchildren Nicholas and Adeline Mason, Norton, VA, brother, Dr. Jerry Addington, Locust Grove, VA, nephew, Drew Addington and wife Stephanie, niece Julie Wishard and husband Tony, great-nephews Bryce Addington and Evan Wishard, his secretary of 38 years, Ellie Franks, as well as a host of special friends who were like family to Bob.
