Died Jan. 16, 2017

James Robert "Robin" Williams, 60, received his healing Monday evening at Kitty Askins surrounded by his family.

The last 20 years of Robin's life, he was disabled. He lived a simple life. A poor man by earthly standards, but rich in his faith, he loved unconditionally, and his family was his world.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Emmett W. and Shirley Strickland Ballree of Mount Olive; sister, Tennie Ballree Barber; and brother, E. Eugene Ballree.

A service of remembrance will be Saturday, Jan. 21, at 3 p.m. at Fore Christ Church, 770 Northeast Church Road, Mount Olive, N.C.

Visitation will follow immediately following the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to Fore Christ Church or the American Cancer society.
