Ernest "John" Darrell Rollins

John was a loving husband, daddy & paw paw. He served in the US Army, was in Horneytown Fire and Rescue and retired from Forsyth County Emergency Medical Services.

He loved serving the community and helping others. After retirement, he spent his time rebuilding and selling John Deere Lawnmowers.

John is preceded in death by his mother, Ruth Coward and father Bob Coward; and brother Terry “Sparky” Coward.

John is survived by his wife of 57 years, Shirley Martin Rollins; sons Terry Rollins & wife Tara Pollard and Rodney Rollins; daughter Tracy Horn & husband Brian Horn; 7 grandkids and 5 great grandkids.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in John’s name to Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home, 101 Hospice Ln, Winston-Salem, NC 27103.

The family would like to thank Trellis Supportive Care for their loving, caring kindness they showed us during this difficult time.

A private family service for John will be held at a later date and time.
