Mr. Robert Lee Twyman, a beloved father, brother, grandfather, son, and friend, was born on March 22, 1963, in Talladega, Alabama, to Bishop Joseph Twyman, Sr. and Pastor Barbara Kelley Twyman.

He embraced his faith early on, becoming a member of Freedom Holy Ghost Headquarters.

After his studies, he work various jobs, but later in life he dedicated himself to the manufacturing industry as a forklift operator with New South Express (NSE), where his gentle spirit and infectious smile endeared him to co-workers and friends alike.

Beyond his work, Robert was a devoted father and grandfather, relishing the joyful fun of family gatherings. He was known for his hands-on approach to life, often found tinkering with cars and displaying his support for the Auburn Tigers.
