He is preceded by his parents Bobby Gene Ford and Betty Rose Ford, and his siblings Joann Ford and John Ford, all of Millard, Kentucky.
He is survived by his former wife, Connie Ford, and their daughters Laura Ford and Julie Ford; and former wife Christy Bartley-Ford, and their son Robert Bradley Ford; Business partner and best friend, David Payne, with Darob Medical Waste Services.
Robert enjoyed life to its fullest and even more so when joined by his children. He enjoyed supporting the community charities he was involved in. Robert was an avid joker, golfer, and the life of the party everywhere he went. Wherever he patronised, he will be missed by the community. There are no words to describe how much he will be missed, and even fewer that can describe the impact he had on everyone.
A bright and vibrant light has left us, but his days have grown much brighter. Gone from us too soon, and forever he will be loved and missed.
We are all so very proud of everything you've accomplished and honored to have been able to call you dad, brother, friend, and partner.
Robert will be traveling back to Pikeville, Ky where he will be laid to rest with his parents and siblings at the Ford Family Cemetery.
