Mr. Flatt was born on October 13, 1953 in Cookeville, Tennessee to the late Claudia & Nancy Kathleen Clouse Flatt. He was a husband, father, mentor, and serial entrepreneur. Equally comfortable in the board room or chatting at the local hardware store. A man who has held so many different titles that answering what he does could rival war and peace. Whatever he did, it was always just a means and opportunity to love people. An ever-sharp man, he would tell you like it is, but would also love you even after you rejected his advice. An old country story was always close by to lighten or enlighten. His heart was often bigger than his wallet, constantly reaching out to pull those in his path who needed help.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his sisters, Nancy Flatt and Eugenia Calloway.
Survivors include his wife of 53 years, Teresa Flatt; sons, Matthew (Wen Yuan) Flatt, Marcus Flatt, and Micah (Brandi) Flatt; brothers, Russell (Dorothy) Flatt and Rodney Flatt; grandchildren, Oliver Flatt, Sophia Flatt, Thomas Flatt, Emaline Flatt, Ethan Flatt, Cassidy (Cristian) Martinez, and Bryce Flatt; and one great-grandchild, Mikazuki Martinez.

Obituary for John Buchanan
Late in the evening of August 11th, John Harley Buchanan crossed the River – a journey that began October 1st, 1937 in Baldwin, Georgia and meandered through Cullowhee, North Carolina stopping next in Nashville then Bearwallow Road near Pleasant View and finally in Coopertown. He was the second of identical twin boys born to William Harley and Maudie Viola who preceded him in death as did his wife Mary Elizabeth, his twin brother Larry and a great-granddaughter Aubrey Campbell.
He is survived by: his sons Roy, Johnny, Steve, Adam and Anthony; his daughters Teresa Myers and Amanda Chapman; his grandchildren Rachel Campbell, Joseph Buchanan, Katarina, Sarah and Adam Forgy, Bettye Buchanan, Sheyna Stone, Chloë Carriere, Ryan Hirsch, Kyla and Jacob Myers; his great grandchildren Braylon Barbee, Austin, Evan, Alex and Kinsey Campbell, Briley, Blaine and MaryElla Stone, Peyton and Rylie Buchanan and Rory Carriere; his brother Joe Buchanan, his sister Jeanne Campbell and niece Valerie Buchanan.
Foremost dad was a man of faith, baptized in the Tuckasegee River as a teenager, nurtured at David Lipscomb College, a faithful member of the Pleasant View Church of Christ, a daily Bible reader, and a man who found peace in prayer because he believed in the goodness of GOD regardless of how tough life could be at times. He was not afraid to work and sometimes held three jobs at a time to put food on the table for his family. And he was a PawPaw who loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren greatly – whether spending evenings and weekends watching them on the baseball diamond or the basketball court or playing card games and board games with them because that was what they wanted to do. The older he got, the more he enjoyed watching sports. He cheered most for the Big Orange, the Atlanta Braves and the Tennessee Titans. You could tell whenever a play impressed him by his “Woo Hoo!” One of his greatest character traits was persistence – the ability and willingness to keep going through hard moments. He honed this trait as a student by having perfect attendance every year in elementary and high school. He lived this trait as an adult by refusing to give up on people and loving them even when they were difficult to love. That is how he showed us that GOD is good.
Visitation will be Tuesday night August 15th from 4:00 to 7:00 at Austin & Bell Funeral Home in Pleasant View. A second visitation the next day will be from 10:00 a.m. until the time of his service at 11:00. James Hayes will speak. Glenn Myers, Adam Forgy, Briley Stone, and Austin, Evan and Alex Campbell will serve as pall bearers. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Pleasant View Church of Christ Building Fund.
