Robert Ray "Robbie" Batts Jr., 36, Stantonsburg, passed away on Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014. He was a graduate of Wilson Beddingfield High School. Robbie owned and operated Digital Connex.

Robbie was a very strong believer in Jesus Christ, and felt that nothing was impossible when you place your trust in God. His faith gave him the courage to face anything in life. Robbie was gregarious and larger than life, and every life he touched, he changed.

Most importantly to Robbie was his family. Robbie enjoyed coaching his boys in all the sports they were involved in. He worked so hard to make sure his wife and children were well taken care of. Robbie was the best daddy, who will be truly missed.  Robbie is survived by his wife, Mandi Batts.
