63 years old, died peacefully on Wednesday, October 17th, 2018 at Palm Gardens Rehabilitation Home. Bobby was born the first of three children to Robert Sr. and Ruth DeKorte, on October 23, 1954 in Coral Gables, FL. He was the proud father to Robert (Bo) DeKorte III and Parker Seamus DeKorte. He fought a courageous battle of Multiple Myeloma for 2 1/2 years and in the end he still had the fight, his body just had other ideas. He was married to Jane (Weber) DeKorte and they would have celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in November.
He is survived by his two sisters, Patty (DeKorte) Frederick of Tampa and Sandy (DeKorte) Hassel of Oldsmar. Along with his wonderful uncle Earl Rast of Oldsmar. He is also survived by nieces, Jacque, Colene, Morgan, Brittany and a nephew Jonny.
A Celebration of Bobby's Life will be on his birthday, Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at Serenity Funeral Home. We are asking that everyone wear your favorite collegiate team shirt. We are hoping that everyone will wear University of Miami. Bobby loved his family the most and then Miami Hurricanes which was a close second. The celebration will start at 5:30pm, with appetizers and drinks to follow.
The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses, especially Dr. Ziegler and Dr. Mittal, who always gave Bobby the hope to keep fighting the fight. He loved you both very much.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to be made to SPCA Tampa Bay or Suncoast Hospice.
