Born on February 4, 1950, was the second of nine children to the late
Sarah Banks-Rivers and Robert Banks. He was born and raised in Memphis and graduated from the Melrose High School Class of ‘68’. He professed a hope in Christ at an early age at Greater New Grove M.B. Church where he taught Sunday School. He was employed by Memphis Area Transit Authority as a bus driver for many years. Robert was preceded in death by his mother, father, and two brothers; Larry and Gary Banks. He will forever be remembered by three sons; Robert R., Damon, and Jarvis Banks, one daughter, Kiva Y. (Nathaniel) Riley, five sisters, Brenda Banks (His caregiver) Sheron (Melvin) Fallis, Phyllis (LENNY) Caples, Acqua (Willie) Woods, and Lekeshia Rooks, two brothers Donald Banks and Cedric (Mary) Banks and sister-in-law, Burnell Banks, six grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews.
Am I My Brother’s Keeper? Brenda Answered Proudly “YES”
I am my brother’s keeper. I was his voice when he could not speak. I was his strength when he grew weak. I was his provider when he was in need. I was his arms when he could not reach. I was his legs when he could not walk. Yes, I was Glenn’s Keeper, and he was my keeper. He provided unconditional companionship and caring. We laughed, celebrated and cried together. He was my best friend, my confidant, and my prayer partner. And without a doubt a loving brother. I take comfort and solace in the incredible bond we shared over the last five years of his life. I will forever remember and cherish Glenn’s favorite words....”
I Love You, Darliung
