Robert Alan Henry "Bob"

Robert Alan Henry, affectionately known as "Bob," passed away peacefully on July 29, 2026, at the age of 71. Born on February 24, 1955, in Carrollton, Ohio, Bob was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose vibrant spirit touched everyone he met. Bob was the cherished son of the late Robert and Lenita Henry. His modest beginnings in Carrollton shaped his character, forging a man who never met a stranger and whose presence was unmistakable upon entering any room. His warmth and ability to listen deeply made him a confidant to many. After earning an Associate of Arts degree from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Bob's creativity blossomed through his passion for restoration. From toys to furniture, Bob's hands could breathe new life into the past, demonstrating his gift for seeing potential where others could not. In his personal life, Bob's heart belonged to his family. His wife of 45 years, Kay Henry, was his steadfast partner in all endeavors. Together, they raised two children, Caitlin (Ryan) and Stephen (Jessica), who, along with their five grandchildren—Emily, Hayley, Luke, Xavier, and Victoria—were Bob's greatest joys. Whether he was tending to his beloved birds or spending quality time with his grandchildren, they were his world. Bob was a devoted member of Church for the One in Lakeland, where his faith and kindness radiated through service and fellowship. His interests were simple yet fulfilling; he delighted in listening to music, sipping coffee while watching westerns, with "Gunsmoke" being his perennial favorite. His beloved Bronco was a testament to his love for restoration and adventure. Bob is survived by his treasured sister, Tamara Bryant, and a host of loving family members, including his close friend of 40 years, Pat. Their bond was a testament to the enduring power of friendship. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice, honoring Bob's legacy of giving and kindness. As we remember Bob, let us celebrate a life filled with love, laughter, and an unwavering commitment to those he held dear.
