Robert Ralph Orlando

Robert Orlando, known to all as Bob, passed away on September 15, 2026, at the age of 63. Born on November 6, 1962, Bob lived a life marked by hard work, generosity, and a deep love for people and music.

Bob was a master mechanic for most of his life, possessing an extraordinary instinct for diagnosing and repairing vehicles. He could often pinpoint a problem within minutes, but what truly set him apart was his willingness to share his talent. Bob frequently helped elderly individuals or those in need with automotive repairs, often at little or no cost. If someone needed help and Bob could provide it, he did.

This spirit of generosity extended to all aspects of his life. Bob genuinely loved people and had a compassionate heart for those facing struggles. His Christian faith was a cornerstone of his life, and he loved the Lord with all his being.

Music was another lifelong passion for Bob. He was a gifted guitar player who performed with various bands throughout the years. Music remained an integral part of his identity, serving as another avenue through which he connected with others. Bob earned his GED and built his life through dedication, experience, and determination, demonstrating a remarkable ability to learn and create with his hands.

Bob is survived by his daughters, Madelyn Orlando, Natalie Orlando, Kahla Howard (Jacob), and Kellee Roberts; his brothers, Michael Orlando (Karen), John Orlando (Joi), and Anthony Orlando (Maira Austin); and his former wife, Suzanne Mitchell, mother of his daughters Madelyn and Natalie. Bob and Suzanne were together for 25 years, including 15 years of marriage. He was preceded in death by his father, Michael Orlando, and his mother, Linda Orlando.
