Robert Byrd "Bob" Faust, 90, beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, passed away on Jan. 30, 2020, in Roanoke, Va. He relocated to Roanoke in the fall of 2019 from Chester. Although his mailing address was Roanoke, his heart was always in Chester wherever he lived.
A funeral service was held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, at Bethel United Methodist Church with Reverend Mike Burgess officiating. The family received friends also Sunday at the church from 2 until 3 p.m. Interment was held at Cornwell Presbyterian Church Cemetery with full military honors.
Mr. Faust was born in Chester on Nov. 27, 1929, to Hilton Glenn Faust and Annie Mae Grant Faust. Bob enlisted in the United States Air Force at the age of 21.

He later worked with the Civil Service as a statistician at Eglin Air Force Base in Pensacola, Fla. He retired with 36 years of service. He graduated from Chester High School, University of South Carolina and then received a Master's Degree in Mathematical Statistics from the University of Delaware. For the past 25 years Bob loved life in the log home that he built in Rodman, S.C. He also loved watching the Carolina Gamecocks play, enjoyed photography, computers, target practicing and most of all loved God. He is greatly missed by his family and friends.
