Goins was buried at Collinstown Presbyterian Church Cemetery, 2868 Collinstown Road, Collinstown, Stokes Co., North Carolina.1,2 He RW Goins, age 74, passed away at the Joan and Howard Woltz Hospice Home in Dobson, NC on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 after a five-year battle with bladder cancer. Born on March 21, 1943, he was the second-born child of Walter Robert and Myrtle Padgett Goins. He was an avid fisherman, hunter, golfer, and as long as he was able, he loved antiquing with his wife. He loved the beach, traveling and riding his dog Buzz around the community. RW worked for 17 years at JP Stevens United Elastic Plant before leaving to farm and pursue a career later as a truck driver. He retired from Roadway Express in Kernersville after 23 years as a driver. During his career there, he logged nearly two million miles accident-free. He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Myrtle Goins; mother and father-in-law Bernie and Virginia Love; son-in-law Kadren Robertson; brothers-in-law, Delmar Inman and Reverend Keith Love; and lifelong best friend, Gary Gray. RW is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Alice Love Goins, and daughters Valencia Robertson Bullins (Jeff) of Walnut Cove and Teresa Allison Goins (Jo Combs) of Winston-Salem. He is also survived by grandsons Cody Kadren Robertson (Amanda) of Pinnacle, and Spence Taylor Robertson of Hickory; great-grandson Noah Kadren Robertson of Pinnacle; sisters Patsy Chilton (Bernie) of Mount Airy, and Sindy Fain of Stuart, Virginia; and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. His loving and faithful companions Buzz and Alli will miss him greatly. An 11:00 a.m. funeral service will be held on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at Collinstown Presbyterian Church in Westfield, NC where he was a member.

Life can be lonely when you are on the open road. A million plus more miles traveled, he was a truck driver you know. You have logged your last journey and your family you will see, but not your earthly family, this time it was not meant to be. We will miss you terribly, but one thing we all know, you are with Jesus, on a different kind of road.1 He was born on March 21, 1943 at Stokes Co., North Carolina.1,2 He married Alice Marie Love on June 21, 1963 at Stokes Co., North Carolina.2,1,3 R.
