Robert "Bob" Wren

January 27, 1959 — August 11, 2019

Teller of tales, giver of time, maker of jokes, Robert “Bob” Wren of Mt. Pleasant, TN, passed away in his home on Sunday August 11, 2019.

Bob or “Papa” as he was commonly referred to, was a larger than life personality, who loved deeply and was loved deeply. Bob was born on January 27, 1959 in Columbia to the late Betty and Billy Joe Wren. The Wren’s founded and operated “Wren’s Hardware & Furniture” in Mt. Pleasant for over 30 years. Bob continued his family legacy by keeping the store up throughout the duration of his career. Bob was always involved in a project, a master “tinkerer”. His projects ranged anywhere from woodworking, medal detecting and even cooking. If he wasn’t working on a project, he was investing his time in people. He was always talking, especially to those grand babies. He loved audio books, cigars and “burning up the road.”

Robert is survived by his two daughters: Jessica (Craig) Schultz and Elizabeth (Chris) Hart of Spring Hill, TN; one son: Will (Jamie) Hutson; grandchildren: Branden Schultz, Wren Maggard, Heith Hutson, Cole Hutson and Railynn Hutson; uncle: John “Bubba” Nolen; aunt: Verna (Max) Lee. He is also survived by many special friends: Phyllis Marx and his trusted K-9 companion, Sam.

Pleasant beginning at 1:00 p.m. The family will receive friends from 4:00-8:00 pm at the funeral home on Tuesday August 13th. Burial will follow at Polk Memorial Gardens.
