Robert Lewis Spinner

February 8, 1951 — March 13, 2025

Robert Lewis Spinner “Bubba” of 1501 Blackburn Street Lynchburg, Va transitioned to be with the Lord on March 13, 2025, at the Summit Health and Rehab. He was born in Bedford County, Va on February 8, 1951, to the late Clarence Roosevelt Spinner, Sr. and Helen Harris Spinner.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by four brothers, Alvin Harris, Lynwood Spinner, Clarence Spinner Jr and Arthur Spinner. One sister, Shiron Spinner Johnson and one granddaughter Kaleah Nicole Spinner.

Robert leaves to cherish his memories, three daughters, Wendy Spinner, Sharee Spinner and Roberta Spinner Parker (Howard). One brother, Dwight David Spinner, Sr. and one sister-in-law Elizabeth Anne Spinner. Five grandchildren, Shyheim Horsley, Deonte’ Horsley, Ja’von Spinner, Xavier Smith and Zariya Parker. One great grandson Dey’Mir Horsley all of Lynchburg, Va and a host of numerous nieces, nephews other relatives and friends.

He worked for Harris Tire Company, Markham Produce Company, Conner Produce and Service Trucking Company where he drove for many years. He enjoyed driving OTR trucks and even though his health began to decline, his memory was always sharp. He could tell you exactly how to get where you were going and which route to take. He definitely could recall something that happened from 1975 with every detail and some choice words we dare not mention. He was that “Cool Uncle” to his nieces and nephews, was loved by all and will definitely be missed, but forever in our hearts.
