Robert David (Lovette) Wills, age 37, of Knoxville, TN went home to be with the Lord, Monday, August 19, 2019 at the University of Tennessee hospital.  Robert was born December 18, 1981.

Robert was an avid golfer. He began his career in golf at the age of ten when he took his allowance and bought three really cheap golf clubs. He had his Mom enter him into the local mini tour for the younger ages. From there his love of golf led him twice to the number one spot on Tennessee's Jr. PGA. He played on the golf team at Clinton High School, where he became the youngest team captain up until that time. He received several golf scholarships to colleges and accepted a full scholarship to Tennessee Wesleyan in Athens Tennessee. Over the years, Robert won or placed in most matches he played across East Tennessee.

Robert loved the outdoors. His knowledge of animals, plants, and history was vast.  Hunting and fishing was a huge part of his life. His love of board games and movies, old and new, was only surpassed by his love of Tennessee and Michigan football. Giving others a hard time when TN or MI won or made a huge play was a must.

Robert suffered in the last years of his life after heart surgery, but he always had a smile for those he saw. He never met a stranger and made friends everywhere he went. Robert loved to laugh and had a great sense of humor that we will miss.

Precious Robert grew up in church, where his pastor was his great-grandfather. He loved the Lord, and enjoyed the old gospel songs. Robert's home-going has left a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. We are looking forward to the day we can be with him again forever-more.
