Mr. Bass was a proud graduate of Auburn University, where he earned a Bachelor?s in Education. While still a student, he became an engineer with AMPEX in the Auburn area and worked for them for 30 years before retiring. Following that, Mr. Bass worked for ALFA in insurance for a bit before owning and operating CMI Electronics. With his company, he handled numerous jobs and even travelled to Turkey to install systems there. For 20 years, he thoroughly enjoyed working the chains at Auburn football games. He and his family were mainstays at those games for decades, even when he wasn?t working, so that they could cheer on his alma mater.
In his free time, Mr. Bass enjoyed fishing and travelling. In fact, they had just purchased an RV so that they could enjoy travelling the country. He was also extremely involved in service for his church, Thorington Road Baptist Church, where he and his family were faithful members. Above all, he was a devoted husband and father. He considered his two daughters the greatest blessings in his life, and was an active participant and spectator in every event they were involved in. He had a way of livening up any gathering with his great sense of humor and gentle joking, and loved dancing with his wife and daughters. They will dearly miss such a special man, but they will continue to cherish all of the memories they made together over the years.
Mr. Bass was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Rudolph Sr & Dorothy Hogan Bass. He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Rebecca Bruner Bass; their two daughters & sons-in-law, Lindsey & Blake Missildine and Lauren & Tyler Kolling; his beloved cocker spaniel, Tinkerbell; and numerous other family members & friends.
Active pallbearers will be Jeff Hilyer, Mark Bishop, Sam Peak, Brandon Plyler, Shawn Plyler, and Jeff McFarland.
