The 2020 Athens City Cemetery Stroll was dedicated to the memory of Richard “Buzz” Estes. Mr. Buzz was the creator and driving force behind the Cemetery Stroll from its beginning. A local business owner, military veteran, and mentor to many, he was a well-known and beloved member of our community. Sadly, Mr. Buzz
​passed away on February 21, 2020.
