John Robert Poston Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

John Robert Poston, 52, passed away Saturday, January 30, 2021, at McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence. Born on November 13, 1968, in Lake City, SC, he was the son of Shirley Calcutt Poston and the late Robert Ellis "Pete" Poston. John was a civil engineer and received his B.S. in Math from Francis Marion College and his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Clemson University. John's love for others and willingness to serve was apparent in every aspect of his life. His passion for his community was seen in numerous places, a few of them being: Vice-Chair on the Horry County School Board, Speech and Hearing outreach and education liaison in the Waccamaw Sertoma Club, and Board member for the Waccamaw Community Athletic Association. Through each of these facets, John's primary goal was to embody the love of Jesus Christ. John's life was composed of time spent with friends and family. In the mornings you could find John in the kitchen bright and early, making breakfast for his family while singing at the top of his lungs. His afternoons were filled with softball and soccer games, where he never failed to be the loudest parent in the crowd. John also spent tiresome nights sitting in deer stands with his son, Henry, or wading through freezing water in search of ducks. His weekends were spent traveling and exploring with his wife of 25 years, as well as fishing with his close friends and family. At his current church, John served as an active member, volunteering as a greeter. In addition to this, he served as a deacon for an extended period at First Baptist Church of Conway. His love for the lord was seen in his actions as he truly exemplified the "hands and feet" of Christ. To say that every aspect of John's life was spent serving others would still be an understatement. He composed his life in such a way that each action pointed directly to God. Survivors include his wife, Robin H. Poston of Conway, SC; his children, John Henry Poston, Mary Elizabeth Poston, and Abby Ruth Poston; his mother, Shirley C. Poston of the Hannah community; and his sisters, Susan Poston Allen of Piedmont, SC and Pamela Poston Langston of Clayton, NC. Funeral services will be held at 3:00PM Wednesday, February 3, 2021, at First Baptist Church Conway officiated by Rev. Rocky Taylor. Burial will be private. The family will receive friends from 4:00PM-7:00PM Tuesday, February 2, 2021, at Goldfinch Funeral Home, Conway Chapel.
