John Robert Pintuff

John Robert Pintuff, 71, of Spindale, passed away Monday, November 9, 2026 at his residence.

A native of Rutherford County, he was born on December 4, 1954 to the late James Verl Pintuff and Eula Mae Burgess Pintuff.

Before his diagnosis he was a truck driver for razor transport, which he enjoyed. Some of his favorite things and hobbies were playing Farkle, darts, horseshoes, fishing, going to the flea market, or anything outdoors. He was very competitive and stubborn, but he had a good heart and would give you the shirt off his back. He was a fighter until the very end and surpassed the diagnosis he was given. He will be deeply missed.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Spencer Pintuff.

He is survived by three children, Jason Pintuff (Susan), Justin Pintuff (Rebecca), and Harley Nelon (Isaac); nine grandchildren, Lily, Reid, Jenna, Maci, Caroline, Jayden, Paisley, Leah, and Hannah; and six sisters, Veronica Hobbs, Karen Pintuff, Merilee Morrow, Regina Ledford, Sharlene Dale, and Marlene Pintuff. We also want to acknowledge a special friend Lisa Vance who alongside their daughter Harley was his caregiver until the very end, as well as Tammy Toms.

In accordance with his wishes, no services will be held.
