Age - 42

December 8, 2023

Robert Lee Sayles, Jr. was born August 2 1981, in Warner Robins, Georgia. He was the fourth child born to the union of Robert and Beverly Sayles. Not to be called Junior, he was affectionately given the name Butch, which he answered to all of his life. His life, although short, was filled with promise and purpose, as he had a remarkable wit and a thirst for knowledge. Butch was educated in the Houston County school system, a proud Class of 1999 graduate at Northside High School. He was an athlete who loved all types of sports; football, basketball, baseball, softball, track and field, or any competitive game. Butch was ready not only to play but to win. After graduation he attended Albany State University and was a proud RAM. Some time later, he took a job as a corrections officer and finished in the top of his graduating class. Realizing that his heart was in mechanics, Butch began working with TransSouth, a job that brought him peace, joy, fulfillment, and satisfaction Butch learned to love and he loved well. This could have been attributed to his three older sisters or from the relationship he had with his mother, but the relationships he developed were real. He gave his heart to the Lord while attending First Baptist Church. As a very active member of the youth department, he sang in the choir, participated in activities, and made a few friends along the way. Butch developed into a leader and usually tried to go the right way. He was a joy to be around, would give you the shirt off of his back, and was definitely loved by all. Butch married and from that union he had two daughters, Robyn and LaRiena. Although the marriage dissolved, he remained a committed father to his girls. His first born, Robyn, was named after his Auntie to honor a sibling pledge. Affectionately called "Face stealer", Robyn not only looks like her father, but shares his intellectual talents, artistic abilities, and love for drawing and fashion. La'Reina stole the show. She is full of energy, headstrong, and has proven to be a young lady who was not going to be left behind. She took his artistic talents and his love for cooking. Butch was preceded in death by his mother, Beverly Sayles. He leaves to cherish his memories, his daughters Robyn and La'Reina; his father Rev Robert Sayles, Sr. ; three sisters, Mishan Davezan of Jacksonville, FL, Lynda, and Jessica Sayles of Warner Robins, GA; his brother Daniel and sister-in-law Rashawn of Perry, GA; four nephews Jaylan, Austin, Aiden, and Ethan; three nieces, Gabrielle, Ajah, and Jackson; great-nephew Elijah; and 2 godchildren. Butch was a family favorite and shared close relationships with them all, but especially his cousin Chad Hampton. He also has 7 aunts, 7 uncles, a host of cousins, and friends.Show more
