Robert's obituary
Bob was born on June 23, 1957, to Robert and Dorothy Phelps. He fell asleep in death on May 21, 2025, in Kissimmee, Florida.
He is survived by his wife Mary Ann, his daughter Alexandrea, his sister Susan, Step-sister Leeann, and many beloved cousins, nieces, and nephews.
On August 5, 1973, Bob took a step that defined his life when he was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. His love for Jehovah and his faith in Jesus Christ motivated him to share his beliefs with everyone he met. His life was built around that unshakable hope.
Bob met the love of his life, Mary Ann, when she was just twelve. Their young friendship grew into a deep and abiding love. They were married on September 27, 1980, beginning a marriage full of laughter, devotion, and spiritual unity.
In 1992, Bob experienced one of the most profound joys of his life—the birth of his daughter, Alexandrea. Becoming a father was transformative. He cherished his role as a spiritual head, and he lovingly guided and protected his family with a deep sense of purpose and humility.
Those who knew Bob will remember his warmth, sincerity, humor and his stories. He had a gift for making people feel comfortable and loved. Whether talking about spiritual matters or sharing a kind word, Bob left an impression on everyone he met.
“Until We Meet Again”
His love, and example remain in our hearts. As he so often reminded us, this is not the end. With trust in Jehovah’s promises, we await the day we will see him again—smiling, healthy, and full of life in paradise.
“And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” —Revelation 21:4
