Ronald "Robert" Sweat, Sr., of Covington, passed away July 25, 2018, at the age of 77. A faithful member of The Baptist Tabernacle, Mr. Sweat adored his church family. He met the love of his life, Nancy, and they were married after only two weeks and remained together for over 58 years. Mr. Sweat had great sense of humor – he even enjoyed making up his own songs. A very dependable man, he only missed one day of work in 40 years. He was happiest spending time with his family and grandchildren, and he often visited loved ones who lived in Brunswick and Waycross. Mr. Sweat was preceded in death by his parents, O.T. and Evelyn Sweat; and brother, Charlie Sweat.
