STATESBORO, Ga. -- Robert Loren Holton, age 56, departed this life to his heavenly dwelling on Wednesday, February 2, 2022.
He was born in Statesboro, Georgia, the youngest of three children. He grew up in Glennville, Georgia, and attended Pineland Service Center.
He and his mother moved to Statesboro in 2000, where he attended the High Hope Center.
While living in Glennville, he was a member of First Baptist Church, where he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. After moving to Statesboro, he united with Eastern Heights Baptist Church and was a member of the Little Lambs Sunday School Class.
Robert was a people person. He loved everyone he met, especially his many, many “girlfriends”.
Robert was a big Elvis fan and he enjoyed listening and dancing to his music. He also had a large collection of Elvis memorabilia.
Robert enjoyed looking through his dozens of albums filled with pictures of his family and friends. His favorite book was Jesus of Nazareth, which he looked at several times a day. "Happy Days," "The Six Million Dollar Man," "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Wonder Woman" were some of his favorite TV shows. Robert liked all the super heroes movies.
Robert liked to begin his day by getting a new temporary tattoo on his arms. His arms were always covered with his favorite ones.
