Bobby was a hardworking and dedicated man who took great pride in his work. He served as a Construction Superintendent for Company Stores and Development in Brentwood, Tennessee, for approximately 20 years and later worked for APAC Paving for six years.

He was highly artistic, inventive, and resourceful, always finding a way to solve a problem or bring an idea to life. His strong work ethic, creativity, and willingness to help others left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

Above all else, Bobby cherished his family. He was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, caring brother, and loyal friend. The time he spent with those he loved brought him his greatest happiness, and the memories he created will be treasured for generations to come.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 46 years, Janie Murray Hutcherson of Finger, Tennessee; two sons, Bobby Hutcherson, Jr. and wife, Tammy, of Bethel Springs, Tennessee, and Jon Hutcherson of Finger, Tennessee; three cherished grandchildren, Cain Hutcherson, Makaila Hutcherson, and Taryn Hutcherson; three sisters, Joanne Lovelace and husband, Ken, of Bethel Springs, Tennessee, Ann Helton of Bethel Springs, Tennessee, and Christine Guest and husband, Clarence, of Louisville, Kentucky; one brother, Wayne Hutcherson and wife, Jo, of Selmer, Tennessee; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
