Nov 5, 1953 — Mar 3, 2025
Mr. Robert Lewis Prior Jr., affectionately known as "Lewis" to most family. Robert departed this life at UTMC Medical College of Ohio, Monday, March 3, 2025, at the age of 71.
Robert was born on November 5, 1953, in Polk County Georgia to the late Robert and Willie Mae Pryor.

Shortly after graduating, Robert was employed by Aet Iron as a saw and crane operator. He later retired from Aelro Steel in 2017. Robert was 27 years into his sobriety through the
alcohol Anonymous program. He was very active in chairing and serving his community within the AA program. Robert loved football and was a diehard Cleveland brown fan. He enjoyed and went to most of the Scott High Varsity games. Although Robert was a very laid back and private person, he would venture out to family and friend's gatherings and events, before his health got weak.
Robert loved his grandkids, watching his westerns, and listening to the music channel in his spare time. Must I not forget he had to have his snacks and desserts daily. LOL Robert was a loving father, husband, grandfather and friend.
