Robert "Bob" Wagnell

Robert “Bob” Wagnell, age 79, of Corbin, Kentucky, passed away on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at Baptist Health Corbin.

Born on August 18, 1946, in Saint-Constant, Quebec, Canada, Bob was a self-employed truck driver who found freedom and fulfillment on the open road. He carved out a niche for himself, crisscrossing the highways and byways of America, and living each day to the fullest.

Whether behind the wheel or relaxing at home, Bob had a passion for gambling and approached it—as he did life—with unshakable optimism and a sense of adventure.

Bob is survived by three close friends: Cassandra Miller, Joyce Perry (Bill), and Dewayne Robertson (Michele), as well as his many friends at the 312 Market, where he loved spending time and sharing stories.

Arrangements are entrusted to Vankirk-Grisell Funeral Home. Messages of condolence may be shared with the family at vankirkgrisellfuneralhome.com
