Robert Spinks, Jr.

Gaffney, SC - - Robert Dean Spinks Jr., age 54, of Gaffney, SC, went home to be with the Lord on November 21, 2024, at Spartanburg Regional Surgical Trauma ICU. He was born on February 10, 1970, and lived his life in his home with his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren at 717 Florence Street.

Robert is survived by his loving mother, Mary Spinks; two sisters, Tammy Gibson (Marvin) and Amanda Roof (Brad); a sister-in-law Becky Spinks Montgomery, and two daughters Tela Potvin (Billy), and Rain Sutton (Hunter). He was also a proud grandfather to four grandchildren: Camdyn Varner, Holden Sutton, Emilynn Potvin, and Huntlee Sutton.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Spinks; his brother, Mike Spinks; and his grandparents, Banks and Thelma Lucas, and Johnny and Edna Spinks.

Roberts family also included five nephews: Michael Gibson (Katlyn), Gage Spinks (Gracie), Marvin Gibson, Bentley Gibson, and Trotter Roof. He had two nieces, Brooke Black (Brandon) and Carly Gibson, along with three great-nephews: Brandon Black, Wesley Gibson, and Ryder Spinks, and one great-niece, Haven Spinks.

Robert will be remembered for his kind heart, his deep love for his family, and the joy he brought to all who knew him. He will be remembered most for his big smile, the most contagious laugh and the strength that he had. He will be missed dearly by all those who loved him.

The family will reside at their homes for visitations, and a private service will be held later on in Great Falls for family and close friends to honor his memory.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the family in care of Kimberly Sutton, 717 Florence Street, Gaffney, SC 29340.
