Robin Nelson Moretz

Robin Nelson Moretz, 64, of Taylorsville, passed away peacefully on October 4, 2022, after a lengthy illness.

He was born October 27, 1957, in Catawba County, the son of the late Daniel “Buster” and Hazel Moretz. After graduating from Lenoir-Rhyne University, Robin spent the majority of his adult life teaching in the Alexander County School System. He had a love for knowledge, reading, a good debate or a good conversation.

His love, commitment and dedication to his students was his greatest passion. When he wasn’t in a classroom, he enjoyed good food, cooking and baking, gardening, canning, woodworking, traveling and spending time with his many friends and our family. A good practical joke or snarky remark did not elude him on any given occasion.

Robin was preceded in death by his parents, Daniel “Buster” and Hazel Moretz; sisters, Joy M. Bentley and Peggy M. Kirby; brother-in-law, Hayden Bentley; and his dear friend, Mark Harbinson.

Robin is survived by his sister, Karen M. Walker and brother-in-law, Gary Walker; his chosen brother, Randy Stafford and wife Penny; his longtime friends and cohorts, Nelson Evans and Tony Elder; nieces and nephews, Melinda B. Null (Richard), Thad Bentley (Brad), Daniel Walker (Brandi), Nathan Walker (Wendy), Lydia Bumgarner (Brandon), Caroline Smith (Chris), and Caitlin Clark (Colby); along with a number of great and great-great-nieces and nephews and the many students he had the privilege of investing in.

A Celebration of Robin’s Life service will be held at 6 p.m., Thursday, October 6, 2022, at Alexander Central Auditorium. Rev. Stephen Dagenhart and Rev. Nelson Evans will officiate. The family will receive friends from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m. prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Alexander County Hospice, 50 Lucy Echerd Lane, Taylorsville, NC 28681 in memory of Robin.
