Inman, SC -- Aubrey William "Buddy" Rollins passed away on November 30, 2025 at the age of 101 years old. He was the son of the late Clifford and Hazel Moran Rollins and a loving husband who cherished both his first wife, the late Dorothy Virginia Steadman Rollins, and later his second wife, the late Maude Della Sanders Rollins, each holding a special place in his heart.

A devoted member of Cobham Park Baptist Church, Buddy found joy in nurturing life-especially through his love of gardening and growing anything that would take root. He adored his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, always sharing warmth, stories, and his signature phrase, "Happy Motoring!" which became a cheerful part of his legacy.

He is survived by his daughter, Doris Ellen Lunsford (Bruce); step-son, Brian Sanders (Melissa); step-daughter, Gentry Hamblin; grandchildren, Bruce Allen Lunsford, Jr. (April) and Samantha Lynn Weston (Anthony); step-grandchildren, Dwayne Sanders, Shane Sanders, Casey Sanders, Tanya Eldridge (Mike), Brian Samuel Sanders, Blake Sanders, Lisa Williams (Brian), Melanie McDonald (Erik), Trey Davis (Mary), and Faron Hamblin (Amanda); great-grandchildren, Tara McSwain (Triton), Dylan Lunsford, Carter Weston, and Parker Weston; great-step-grandchildren, Joshua Bradley (Emily), Dillan and Abby Pruitt, Garod, Ava, Meredith, Audrey, Violet, Kristin Brewer, Justin Williams, , Jordan McDonald, Clayton Davis, Anne Davis, Waylon Hamblin, Lucille Hamblin, Judson Hamblin; great, great-grandchildren, Macoy McSwain,; great, great-step-grandchildren, Aurora and Stella Bradley, Breelyn, Madison and Savannah; as well as many other cousin, nieces and nephews, friends, and family.

Buddy is preceded in death by his step-son, Wayne Sanders, his brother, Emerson Rollins, sisters, Marselle Norman and Esther Hanes.

The family will receive friends on Sunday, December 7, 2025 from 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM at Living Waters Funeral Home & Crematory. A Celebration of Life will begin at 2:30 PM. Interment will immediately follow at Roselawn Cemetery. Pastor Jeff Hickman will officiate.
