Chaffin, Robert Lee

Robert Lee Chaffin, 60, of Riner, passed away on Tuesday, November 19, 2013. Robert was a loving husband, father, papaw, son, brother, and friend. Robert was a man of few words. When he spoke, you always listened. He made an impression on anyone who crossed his path. He made sacrifices to see that his family was taken care of. He was a hard worker. He worked as a butcher for 30 years, and he worked at Walmart for 12 years. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, but most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family. He loved the Lord, and enjoyed fellowshipping with his brothers and sisters in the Lord. He will be greatly missed. He is preceded in death by his dad, Jim Chaffin, his brothers, Timmy, Gary, and Henry Chaffin, and his grandson, Justin Poff. Leaving to grieve for him is his loving wife, Debra Chaffin; one son Gary Wayne Chaffin and wife, Kelli; one daughter, Amy Poff and husband, Gregory; his mother, Gay Chaffin; his siblings, James Chaffin, Jeanette Addington, Stanley Chaffin, Larry Chaffin, Susie Powers, and Becky Holfield; grandchildren, Braden and Emma Chaffin, Dustin and Triftan Poff, Kila and Colton Hall; great-granddaughter, Kaylee Cheyann Hall; special friends, Sharon and Donnie Cox. Funeral services will be conducted at 2 p.m. on Friday, November 22, 2013 at Gardner Funeral Home Chapel with the Reverend Lee Sarver officiating. Interment will follow at the Chaffin Family Cemetery, Reed Hill Road, Floyd. Friends may call at Gardner Funeral Home on Thursday after 6 p.m. where the family will be from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Condolences to the family may be made at www.gardnerfuneralhomefloyd.com.
