Robert Lynn Garvin - Whitesboro, Texas

Robert Lynn Garvin passed away on Wednesday, May 6, 2020.  Robert was born in Whitesboro on November 16, 1945. He grew up in Whitesboro and was a 1964 graduate of Whitesboro High School.   He spent his life working in sales, a field in which he excelled. He enjoyed spending his leisure time with his family and friends, traveling, fishing and hunting.

He is survived by his parents, Bob and Joretta Garvin of Tyler, wife Ginger Garvin of Whitesboro, son Kevin and wife Renee Garvin of Katy, daughter Gina Garvin of Whitesboro, grandsons Grant Garvin of Fort Worth, Riley Stricker of Whitesboro, and Connor Hastcoat of McKinney, sister Becky Adams, nephew and nieces John, Dena, Ali and Erin Culpepper, all of Emerald Bay in Bullard, Texas.

Pallbearers will be Kevin Garvin, Grant Garvin, Riley Stricker, Connor Hastcoat, John Culpepper, and Kevin Hastcoat.

Robert will be lovingly remembered by family and friends alike as someone who always thought of others first. Many times, he would notice someone elderly in a grocery line who didn't have enough money, and he would take care of them. He might see someone with car trouble on the side of the road, and he would stop and help since he could repair most any make and model. Robert listened more than he spoke, but when he did speak it was with wit, wisdom, and possibly even an inappropriate joke. He may have lost his balance, but he never lost his sense of humor.

Arrangements are under the direction of Waldo Funeral Home.  Due to the restrictions because of COVID 19, there will be a private graveside service for immediate family only.

Remembrances of Robert may be in the form of donations to either the Whitesboro Public Library or the Parkinson's Foundation.
