Bob's obituary
Robert “Bob” O’Donnell, 75, passed away on March 14, 2025, in Sandy Springs, Georgia, surrounded by loved ones.
In life, Bob was an accountant by trade, a lover of classic rock, a skilled tinkerer, and a devoted gearhead. He had a lifelong passion for working on vintage cars and motorcycles, and always found joy in solving mechanical problems with precision and care.
He co-founded a tax practice with his wife, Beth, and together they supported countless families and small businesses. More than just clients, many became part of an extended community that reflected Bob and Beth’s steady presence and deep commitment to service.
Bob is survived by his daughter Caitlin Ferguson and her husband Alan, and his son Jim O’Donnell and his partner Lauren. He was preceded in death by his wife Beth; his longtime companion, Joanie; his parents, Edna and Patrick O’Donnell; and his siblings, Patrick Jr. and Lynda Kay. He is also remembered with love by the Kiefer family, whose decades-long friendship brought warmth and connection throughout his life.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin.
