    Robbie was born on September 10, 1954, in Belhaven, to the late Horace and Annie Ruth Swain. Robbie lived his last two years of high school in the home of his aunt and uncle Marie and Rudolph Smith, who have always been considered his second parents. He graduated from John A Wilkinson High School in 1972. He like his brothers, became a carpenter like their father and spent time in Virginia Beach where he met his wife, Melissa. They ventured out to Texas in 1978, spending seven plus years having two children and working during the high-rise construction boom. Robbie was happy to be back home these last thirty plus years, able to fish, hunt and spend time with family and friends. His dog Willow was seen with him most of the time. But what he enjoyed most was watching his three granddaughters dance and later become volleyball enthusiasts.

    Robbie is survived by his wife Melissa of the home, son Aaron Swain (Katy) of Greenville, daughter Erica Swain Woolard (Neal) of Greenville, and his cherished granddaughters Lorelai, Addison, and Stella who brought endless joy and pride to his life, a brother Randy Swain of Georgia, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

    He is preceded in death by his parents Horace and Annie Ruth, brothers Billy, Bit (Lloyd), Dave and wife Cheryl, sister Annette Jones and husband Ray, nephews Ray and Rafe Jones.

    He will be very much missed by all that knew him.
