Bernard's Family Funeral Care announces the passing of Mr. Robert Wayne Salster of Madison, Georgia.
Robert Wayne Salster “Crip Style Baby” was born December 26, 1978 to his parents Douglas and Nancy Salster, in Covington Georgia. After birth, they quickly made their way to Madison, Georgia where they raised Robert while his daddy worked at the late Jimmy Harper's Dairy Barn. Robert started milking cows at the age of 7 buying his own school clothes and riding his gocart down to Joe's store to buy candy so he could share it with the twins Jill and Jane. By the time he was 14 Robert was working on cars. While attending high school at Morgan County High he also held a full-time job at a factory. After High School, Robert lived a life no one could possibly imagine living, no one but “ol Crip”. It didn't matter who you were or where you were, if you needed something fixed, needed a ride, or if you just needed a friend, you best believe Robert was right there never once expecting anything in return. But Robert and his heart of pure gold would just smile and say baby we ain't going to do without you're my kool-aid it'll be alright I'll be back in a little bit. A soul so pure and so full of love that he didn't understand the feeling of hate often saying “I don't believe hate exists”. Robert was definitely a man of God and you knew it because he had that agape love for everyone not just God. Robert loved everyone and everyone loved Robert you have never and will never hear anyone say I don't like Robert Salster. He's the nicest person on the planet . Robert is survived by his stepdaughter Diana Watson; grandson, Sylas Alton Watson of Greenville Texas; stepson, Mason Garland of Pilot Point Texas; lovely mother Nancy Salster of Madison Georgia, wonderful wife of 12 Years, his best friend, his fishing buddy his sparring partner and now broken woman Sue Lynn Salster, and lastly Roberts sidekick his tuxedo cat. Robert was a well-known and well loved member of his community and it will be a bit harder without him present.
A graveside celebration of life service will be held on Tuesday, February 23, 2026, at 11 A.M. at Sugar Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, 3371 Greensboro Road, Madison, Georgia 30650. Please wear warm clothing as we honor the life of Robert Salster.
