Robert “Robbie” Talmadge Chastain was born in Upland, PA on April 1, 1978 to William T. and Elizabeth M. Chastain. He passed away on November 22, 2020. Robbie is survived by his children, Hailee Rasbury and Benjamin T. Chastain; parents, Rusty and Beth Chastain; sister, Kimberly L. Chastain; brother, Theodore S. Chastain (Emily); and close friend and former wife, Marka Chastain.
Robbie attended Hewitt-Trussville High School. After graduating in 1996, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served his country proudly for 6 years. He worked for Southern Company for over 20 years. He was an advocate and avid fundraiser for Toys For Tots and The Alabama Institute for the Deaf & Blind.
Robbie loved to fish. But his greatest love was family. He lived to enjoy his kids. His legacy is that he was a loving, supportive, and encouraging father. Robbie will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
