Born in Cabarrus County on January 20, 1951, he was the son of the late Myrtle Collene Wilkerson and Robert Lee Yow, Sr.
Robert graduated from Hartsell High School and went on to join the United States Marine Corps. He was a self-employed painter and loved to stay busy. He loved his dog Molly and enjoyed going out to eat breakfast with his friends.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two great-grandsons, Landon Young and Jax Coley.
Left to cherish his memory are his son, Jeff Yow of Kannapolis; daughter, Tonya Furr of Concord; stepdaughter, Lisa Kelly of Mooresville; sister, JoAnn Yow of Burleson, TX; five grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, one nephew, two nieces, and extended family and friends.
The family would like to thank the staff of Atrium Health Hospice for the excellent care that they provided Robert.
