A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Robert lived a life rooted in faith and selfless service to others. He is now in the presence of the Lord, reunited with loved ones.

Robert shared 34 beautiful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Brenda, with whom he cherished traveling and making memories. Renowned as the finest paintless dent repair technician in the River Valley, Robert could fix anything, earning him the affectionate saying from his grandchildren: "If Poppy can't fix it, no one can!"

A true friend to all, Robert’s kindness and generosity touched countless lives, none more so than his cherished friend Bobby Wilson, whose lifelong friendship brought joy and strength to Robert’s days. Above all, his greatest achievement was his unwavering commitment to Jesus Christ, living as a devoted Christian for 30 years.
