Bob was a lifelong resident of Pittsylvania County.  He was a 1978 graduate of Tunstall High School where he was active in the FFA organization and held numerous local and state offices.  He was the recipient of the FFA’s American Farmer Award in 1981.  Bob attended Danville Community College.  He was a member of Vandola Baptist Church.  Bob was the manager of W. S. Clark and Sons in Danville, VA for 15 years and also worked at Southern States.  In recent years he was actively farming.

Bob was preceded in death by his father, Bobby Carroll Collie. 

He is survived by his mother, Paula Cochran Collie and his daughter, Casey Devon Collie, of the residence, along with his brother, Willis Glenn Collie of Arlington, VA.

He was an avid Nascar fan, loved collegiate football and enjoyed lively conversation with his many friends.  Bob’s cremains will be scattered on Colliedale Farm according to his wishes.  There will be no service or visitation and this will serve as closure for friends and family.
