Blue Knights NC Chapter 2

WAKE COUNTY, NC

On August 1st 2023 The Blue Knights lost a Brother. Robert Cain Overby passed away leaving many friends and family behind. Mostly known as Bud, by friends, he was the Blue Knights North Carolina State Representative, the International Safety Officer as well as President of Blue Knights chapter 8 in Greenville, NC.

Bud was a truly amazing person serving 31 years in the military. He was an MP and recruiter retiring at the rank of First Sergeant. Bud was more than just a guy with some fancy titles, Bud was a kind, generous, funny person that everyone enjoyed being around. I personally got the opportunity to meet Bud at the Blue Knights NC 2 Christmas party and I’m so glad that I was able to experience what a person he was. Bud was truly the life of the party, had a smile on his face cracking jokes the whole night. Bud was never afraid to talk to anyone and would always find a way to put a smile on their face. Bud has touched a lot of people’s hearts and will truly be missed. On August 7th, 2023

The Blue Knights NC chapter 2 along with other chapters from North Carolina came together in memory of Bud. They met up and rode to Bud’s memorial service and to be there for the family. Blue Knights are more than just a Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club. The Blue Knights are a big family. They look out for each other and step up when someone needs a hand. Bud had the true Blue Knight spirit and will be leaving a very large hole in the Blue Knight community.
