Guyton

Robert Joseph Griffin,83, born on March 8, 1941, in Savannah, Georgia, passed away peacefully at his residence on Sunday, November 10, 2024, surrounded by his loving wife of 56 years and children. Robert exemplified a life of service and dedication, having honorably served in the United States Army for 30 years. 

Beyond his military service, Robert embraced life's many pleasures. He found great joy in gardening, where he was able to nurture both plants and relationships with those who shared the same passion. Cooking was another one of Roberts beloved pursuits, allowing him to express his creativity and gather friends and family around the table. Fishing, reading and just being able to piddle in his shed also brought his great joy. Above all, Robert cherished every moment that he was able to spend with his loving family. His memory will continue to inspire, as family and friends honor his remarkable journey through stories, shared experiences, and the values he instilled.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Wanda Griffin; daughter, Lisa Caine (Carter) of Springfield; sons, Michael J. Griffin of Guyton and George O. Griffin (Shannan) of Guyton; sister, Martha Walsh (Bill) of Tybee Island; grandchildren, Mabry Raye Overstreet, Bryce Christopher Findley, Kodah Durst Rericha, Trina Estill Stanley, George Kaden Griffin, Kyle Joseph Griffin, Audrey Helaina Hicks, and Kohin Wayne Griffin; and several great grandchildren.
