Robert Lee Ervin , age 45 , went to be with the Lord on Monday, April 27, 2015.
He was known by many and well loved by all.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents: W. O. and Rachael Ervin and James and Ann Clark.
He is survived by his son and joy of his life, Kevin Martin Ervin , of Sweetwater; his loving and devoted parents Fletcher and Penny Ervin of Newport; his lifelong best friend and twin brother, Michael Ervin , of Newport; his sisters: Melissa, Rachel, Elizabeth, and Sarah, all of Newport; his nephew David Ervin of 29 Palms Marine Base, California; his aunt and uncle Marti and Walter Steffen, and his uncle Bobby Ervin .
The family will hold a memorial service on Saturday, May 2, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. at First United Methodist Church with the Rev. Dr. James Bennington officiating. A graveside service at the family cemetery will follow at 3:30 p.m. Directions to the cemetery will be in the church bulletin.
In lieu of flowers, the family request that donations be made to the National Adoption Foundation in memory of Robert Lee Ervin at www.fundyouradoption.org. Robert was raised by adoptive parents who have never seen Robert and Michael as anything else than their children by birth. It is Michael's hope that donations in Robert 's memory will give another child the same opportunity to find a lifetime of love offered by a loving mother and father.
