MARION, Va.

Robert Preston McGrady, age 78, passed away Sunday, July 25, 2021 at the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center, Mt. Home, TN.

Robert was a generous man who loved his God, family and country. He supported many ministries and charities in his community, while providing wonderful care for his wife of 56 years, was a loving dad to his boys, and crazy about the little ones who called him grandpaw. Robert proudly served his country and retired after twenty five years of service in the U.S. Army and the U.S. Air Force. When he wasn't loving his family or serving his country, he enjoyed golfing, hunting and fishing. Robert McGrady will be missed by many.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Clarise Jane McGrady; parents, Brack and Olivene McGrady; and brother, David McGrady.

McGrady, Joshua McGrady, Brianna Mitchum, Nolan McGrady, and Kaitlyn McGrady; several nieces and nephews.
