Robbie Darren Roberts, 50, passed away peacefully in his home on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020. A funeral service celebrating his life was held on Monday, Feb. 3, at 2 p.m. at Avondale Baptist Church, located at 6970 Cochran Field Road, in Macon, Ga., with the Reverend Don Reed officiating. The family greeted friends one hour prior to service time.
Born in Quitman, Ga., he was the son of the late Bob Elsworth Roberts Sr. and Martha Ann Langford. Robbie was married to Kim Stevenson Roberts for 19 years and, with God's provision, had a successful painting business, Robbie Roberts Painting, in the middle Georgia area. He was a loving and dedicated son, brother, father and husband, putting God and family first in his own personal way.
He is survived by his wife, Kim; his son, Joshua Spires, and his fiancé, Tara Robinson, of Macon; his step-father, Shelton Langford, of Madison, Fla.; his sister, Twilla Lunceford (Joe), of Cynthiana, Ky.; his brother, Elsworth Bob Roberts Jr. (Liz), of Crawfordville, Fla.; his sister, Jackie Reed (Don), of Warner Robins, Ga.; his sister-in-law, Gwen Hunt, of Macon; his brother, Danny Hunsinger (Renvia), of Ellerslie, Ga.; and many, many nieces and nephews, all who he loved dearly.
Robbie will be remembered for his kindness shown to others in need, always trying to help those traveling the road in life he had once trod, and his desire to be a man of his word, both in his personal and professional life. He loved spending time outdoors, working with his hands and enjoying the simple things in life that money could not buy. Although he will be missed here on this earth, he is now reunited with his loved ones that have gone before him.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Lawrence Drive Baptist Church, 5774 School Rd., Macon; or Pine Pointe Hospice, 6261 Peake Rd., Macon.
