Robert Wayne

Hinson

Robert “Bob” Hinson, 64, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on October 29, 2026 after fighting a long battle with cancer. Bob remained upbeat during his fight; he always had a kind word for his nurses, doctors and other patients he met.
Bob’s greatest joy was his family and he always looked forward to holidays and other gatherings when everyone was together. His enjoyment of 3D printing delighted his grandchildren, who were always excited to see what new toys and treasures Grandpa had created just for them. He was proud of his children and was always ready with a picture to show or a story to tell about his seven cherished grandchildren.Another great joy in Bob’s life was serving his church. He was born again later in life and always counted this as his greatest blessing. Bob would often talk about his church family and how much they all meant to him. Over time, he held many jobs in his church, always willing to use his computer and teaching skills wherever they were needed.Bob had two successful careers, one in the folding carton industry with Shorewood Packaging, later known as International Paper and a second working for the state of Virginia, most recently with VDoT as a Supervisor in the Business Integrated Solutions Division.At home Bob could fix anything, whether it was a computer, dishwasher, an ancient VW Bug or welding his ’67 Impala back together. He was also an accomplished artist. He was always good at sketching but later discovered a talent for oil painting. Bob passed his love of music on to his children, often exchanging favorite bits of songs with them. His humor was always present and he loved making people smile.He will always be missed by the family and friends he left behind. He is survived by the family he deeply loved, his loving wife of 40 years, Susan; his children Jessica Burrage, her husband Joe; Robert Hinson Jr., his wife Lydia; Katherine George, her husband Gordon; seven grandchildren; Raleigh, Melissa, Nora, Jack, Jameson, Zoe and Lincoln; brother Scott, his wife Lisa; sister Patti, her husband Eli; his mother-in-law Diana Schulz; his sister-in-law Cara Estep, her husband Steve; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Curtis Hinson and Sandra Wyer, his brother Don Hinson and father-in-law Rodney Schulz.Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Andrews Funeral Home.
