Mr. Robert David “Bunk” Everhart, 80, of US 64 E., died Friday, Aug. 7, 2015, at the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem after a courageous battle with leukemia.

He was born July 6, 1935, in Davie County to the late George Robert “Bob” and Edna Bowles Everhart. He was the widower of the late Dorothy Jean Smith Everhart to whom he was married for 53 years.
