Robert Gaines Obituary

Robert A. Gaines,

November 20, 1954-April 05, 2020

At the age of 65, Robert "Tony" Anthony Gaines won his fight against cancer and was granted the greatest reward of meeting his Heavenly Father on Sunday, April 5, 2020. As a life-long resident of Oberlin, Tony was dedicated to his community and believed whole-heartedly in the strength, endurance and culture of his beloved town. As a faithful member of The Oberlin House of the Lord Fellowship and many other organizations throughout Oberlin, he was blessed with years of opportunity to be a mentor to many and friend to all.

His greatest accomplishment was his family. Tony loved hard and was blessed to share his life with his wife, Linda (Anderson) Gaines; sons, Korre and David Gaines; daughters, Diana (Justin) Williams and Melanie (Omar) Ramirez. Anyone that knew Tony knew that his children and grandchildren were his most precious gifts and there was nothing he wouldn’t do to see them smile. Tony was a devoted brother to Michael Gaines, Eric (Vicky) Gaines, Patricia Bell and Melissa (Gabriel) Valdez.

Tony leaves behind a lifetime of love and friendship and while he is sorely missed on earth, we know that he is finally at peace safe in the arms of Jesus.

Funeral Service will be at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to LUCAS MEMORIAL CHAPEL 9010 GARFIELD BLVD. in Garfield Hts. Gifts and condolences may be sent to 428 Washington Circle Oberlin, OH 44074.
