Horace Hamby III Jun 30, 1940 — May 17, 2024
HORACE “BUD” HAMBY III, 83,
Horace Hamby III

The passing of Horace Hamby III of Bellevue, Washington, born in Calhoun, Tennessee leaves a void in the hearts of many, as we bid farewell to a loving soul who departed on May 17, 2024 at the age of 83. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family. In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy Horace leaves behind and his impact on the lives of his loved ones. Though Horace may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the memories held dear by his family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness. He was predeceased by: his wife Margaret Ogilvie Hamby; his parents, Horace, Jr. Hamby and Eleanore Greene Hamby; and his son Charles Hamby (Buddy). He is survived by: his children, Wendy Paige (Gordon), Margaret Hamby Weir (Matt) of Fall City, WA and Mike Hamby (Melissa) of Kirkland, WA; and his daughter-in-law Bobbi Hamby of Walnut, CA. He is also survived by eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the American Cancer Society (cancer.org).

HORACE “BUD” HAMBY III, 83, husband of the late Margaret Ogilvie Hamby, passed away Friday, May 17, 2024 in Aiken Regional Medical Centers. A native of Calhoun, TN, Horace was a son of the late Horace, Jr., and Eleanore Greene Hamby. He was educated in Athens, TN schools. After graduating high school, Horace lived with his parents in New Zealand for several years before enrolling and graduating from Georgia Tech with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. He had a long and successful career in the pulp and paper industry, working with several companies such as Crown Zellerbach and Weyerhaeuser in the Pacific Northwest. He later retired from Beloit Corporation. Horace was formerly very active in the Boy Scouts of America and was an avid HAM Radio operator. After living in Bellevue, Washington for 42 years where they raised their family, he and Margaret moved to Aiken in 2019. Survivors include three children, Wendy Paige (Gordon), Aiken, Margaret Hamby Weir (Matt), Fall City, WA, Mike Hamby (Melissa), Kirkland, WA; daughter-in-law, Bobbi Hamby, Walnut, CA; eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. In addition to his wife and parents, Horace was preceded in death by a son, Charles (Buddy) Hamby. A private Celebration of Horace’s Life will be held later. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the American Cancer Society (cancer.org).
