Most recently Robert was the owner and operator of Suds and Shine and Barb-b-q.
A 1982 graduate of Woodbridge High School, Robert’s commitment to service was a constant throughout his life. Robert’s passion for his community was evident in his involvement with the Moose Lodge #825, where he, “BINGO Bob”, assisted with and ran BINGO. His enthusiasm for football was infectious, especially when cheering on his favorite team, the Washington Commanders. Robert had a unique hobby of building structures with tarps, showcasing his creativity and love for “tarpentry”. His dedication to helping others was further demonstrated by his work with Celebrate Recovery, a program he helped initiate in Braxton County. Robert was a member of the Gassaway Presbyterian Church, where his faith played a significant role in his life.
As we mourn the loss of Robert, let us remember him as he was described in Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” In the spirit of this verse, Robert gave himself fully to the work of the Lord and his community.
Robert’s request for Cremation has been honored at Pat Boyle Funeral Home’s On-Site Crematory. A Private Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date.

Growing up in West Virginia, Justin attended Buckhannon-Upshur High School, where he graduated in 2003. Justin furthered his education at Glenville State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree.

He enjoyed being a Commentator and Announcer known as “The Most Athletic Voice in All of the South East” at Revolt Pro Wrestling and Hybrid Pro, the voice at Diamond Championship Wrestling, Combat Sport Pro, and Alabama Wrestling Federation.
Justin’s life was one marked by adventure and joy. He was a talker and a jokester, always ready with a quip to lighten the mood. His love of cooking was matched only by his love of wrestling.
A devout member of Watermark Church, Justin’s faith was as strong as his physique. He often spent time working out at the gym. Justin shared a special bond with his sons, Kayson and William, as they enjoyed watching wrestling and gaming together. He was Kinley’s biggest fan, as he cheered her on during her basketball games, forging memories with all of his children that will be treasured forever Justin’s family was the cornerstone of his life.

As Mark Twain once said, “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time”. Justin lived fully, embracing each moment with enthusiasm and courage.
In a final act of generosity, Justin chose to give the gift of life through organ and tissue donation. His healthy heart, a testament to his dedication to fitness, has already begun to beat in the chest of its first recipient, and many more lives will be touched by his decision.
