Mr. Robert L. Boykin
On Saturday morning February 6, 2016 at 11:10 AM, God dispatched His angels to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Fla., to give “Bob” his final run. He was born on July 14, 1932 to the late Julius Boykin and Oreata Beasley of Evergreen, AL.
He was a farm worker and truck driver for many years. There wasn’t a piece of equipment on a farm that he couldn’t operate. He attended school in Conecuh County.
Preceding Him in death was the Mother of his children Barbara Ann Bowens, and his wife Wille G. Boykin and four children: Sarah, Regina, Robert Jr., and Gary.
He leaves to cherish his memories ten children: Bertha Boykin, Barbara Middleton, Quintella (Ernest) Benjamin and Steve (Trisha) Bowens, all of Montgomery, AL, Sylvia Stallworth and Faye Bowens of Cincinnati, OH, Shelia (Douglas) Turner of Newport News, VA, and Sophia Bowens, Jackie (Rufus) Lee, and Yvette Rogers all of Evergreen, AL.; two sisters: Marie Slaughter, Pensacola, FL, and Dorothy Jones, New Brunswick, NJ; and two brothers: Freddie Boykin, Birmingham, AL, and Lofton Primm, New Brunswick, NJ; four sisters-in-law, and two brothers-in-law; twenty five grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren, and one great grand child; a host of very special cousins whom he loved dearly and a host of special friends: as close as a brother Mr. Jimmy McNeil.
