Robert A Kenwabikise

Robert A Kenwabikise, affectionately known as Bobby, was born on May 17, 1978, in Petoskey, Michigan, and entered eternal rest on October 29, 2024, in Glendale, Arizona. He was 46 years old. Bobby was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, whose laughter and warmth touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Bobby was the son of Robert Allen Kenwabikise (Robbie) and Dottie Ann Beach, who preceded him in death. He is survived by his two cherished children, Robert and Sabrina, and three adoring grandchildren who brought him immense joy. His legacy continues through them, and he will be remembered for the love he instilled in each of their lives. Bobby also leaves behind five siblings, who will forever hold dear the memories of their time together.

Throughout his life, Bobby was known for his infectious laughter and generous spirit. He had a unique ability to make others smile and found joy in the simple pleasures of life. His love for family was evident in the time he spent with them, and he cherished every moment he could share with them, often filling the room with laughter and stories. 

Bobby had a passion for sports, particularly for his favorite team, the NFL's Chicago Bears. Additionally, he had a passion for working on cars, and another favorite pastime was playing pool.

A man of many qualities, Bobby was not only generous with his time and resources but also with his affection and kindness. He treated everyone he knew with respect and compassion, leaving a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to cross his path. His ability to uplift others made him a cherished friend and family member.

In this time of sorrow, we remember Bobby's heartwarming laughter, unwavering kindness, and the love he shared with so many. He will be greatly missed, but his spirit will live on in the memories we hold dear. Rest in peace, Bobby, knowing that you have left an indelible mark on our hearts.
