Robert “Bob” Lester Ashton, 74, of Oviedo, Florida, passed away peacefully on August 20, 2025. Born in Princeton, Kentucky, on May 5, 1951, Bob lived a life full of adventure, dedication, and love. He found joy in traveling the world with his wife Patti, playing golf, savoring fine wine, listening to Jimmy Buffet, watching Florida Gators Football and yes, he also loved working. Bob cherished spending time with his six grandchildren and treasured his time at his vacation home in Gold Beach, Oregon, where he created lasting memories with family and friends.

A passionate entrepreneur, Bob took great pride in owning and operating an insurance company and bond agency. His work was not just a career—it was a calling that reflected his integrity, leadership, and commitment to helping others. Bob was passionate when it came to providing solutions for his clients, no matter how challenging the situation and took great pride in celebrating those wins with his clients.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Patricia “Patti” Ashton; his daughter, Kellie (Ashton) Landwer; his son, Robert “Blair” Ashton (Jaeann); his stepdaughter, Lara Ruddy; and his adored grandchildren: Remy Tellier, Juliana Ashton, Beckett Ashton, Adair Landwer, Phoebe Landwer, and Whitney Landwer.
