Robert Gainor Obituary
On Wednesday morning November 27, 2024 Robert Lee Gainor gained his heavenly wings and entered into the arms of his Heavenly Father our Lord Jesus Christ.
Robert Lee Gainor "Scooby" was born on May 19, 1950 to the late John Willie Johnson and Catherine Miller Heard. He was educated in the Bartow County School System.
Scooby was employed with Davis Brothers Cafeteria and later was employed by the Bartow County Government until his retirement after twenty plus years.
Robert was a faithful member of New Hope Baptist Church. The favorite highlight of his life was playing softball and spending time with his family. He attended each and every Cartersville Purple Hurricanes football and basketball game. He loved hanging out at the Upper Gym and running things.
Scooby always kept his red truck clean and shiny because it was something that he was passionate about taking care of.
Robert spent the last three years of his life as a resident of Maple Ridge Nursing Home where he gained many friendships with the residents and the staff until his death.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Catherine Miller Heard and John Willie Johnson; brothers, Jimmy Lee Gainor, Stanley Ervin Heard, and Thomas Lamar Heard; sisters, Amanda Johnson, Joyce Johnson and Darlene Garnigan.
Scooby leaves to cherish his memory; children, Natasha Denise Gainor and Jason Williams; grandchildren, Demarcus Burn, Aiesha Levy, Dasia Levy, Demarcus Williams and Michael Williams; great-grandchildren, Nova Star Levy and A'Mari Lanouette; sisters, Lavania Elliott, Sonia Wiggins and Greta Vanzant; brothers, Maurice (Glinda) Heard, Ricky (Sharon) Cotton, Reginald Heard, Willie Johnson, Aaron Johnson, Patrick Johnson and Mitchell Johnson; sister-in-laws, Felicia Heard and Jackie Gainor; and a host of other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

I Took Robert some KFC Chicken and candy Tuesday before he died, the nurses were changing bandages on his leg, he seemed good I had no idea it would be the last time I would see him. I played a lot of soft ball with and against him, he was one of the best players in Cartersville. Mors certa, hora incerta. Latin Death is certain, its hour is uncertain. Prayers to the family a friend Dennis Priest
