Robert “Sidewinder” Pennington was a truck driver and construction worker for most of his life. He loved being a volunteer firefighter for the Bogue Chitto Fire Department. What he loved most was riding his Harley Davidson motorcycles, which included being a member of the Christian Motorcycle Association and ABATE. He loved all his family and close friends. Robert never met a stranger and anyone that ever met him would never forget him. He was always seen sitting on his front porch, drinking coffee, with his trusted dogs and one cat by his side. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him.
He is preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Tina Gregg.
Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of 23 years, Sherryl Pennington; children, Heather Watson (Lynn), Robbie Nettles, Mildred Bates (Scott); brother, Wayne Pennington; sister, Janie Thames (John); four grandchildren, Kayleen Watson, Mataleigh Watson, Anastaszya “Hayley” Bates, Madyson Bates; and a host of nieces, nephews and other loving family members and friends.
