Robert Eugene Powell, "Bobby," age 55, passed away on December 13, 2025. Born on September 2, 1970, Bobby was a fifth-generation Floridian, born in West Palm Beach, Florida, and later moved to Palm City, Florida, as a young child.
Bobby is survived by his parents, James Reid Powell and Dianne Katherine Powell; his three cherished sons, Elias Bradford Powell, Luke Robert Powell, and Jesse Michael Powell, who were the pride and joy of his life; his sister, Antonia Powell Link; his brother-in-law, Charles William Link, Jr.; his beloved nephews, Charles James Link (Sarah Anne Link) and William Reid Link; and his great-nephew Charles Anthony Link. Bobby is also deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his aunts, uncles, and cousins whose lives were touched by his kindness, gentleness, and loyalty to family.
Bobby was the most gentle and caring soul, known for his kind heart and beautiful blue eyes that reflected the warmth he carried within. A devoted father, he dedicated his life to raising three remarkable young men, instilling in them strong values, love, and integrity. He raised his boys in Greenville, South Carolina, and in recent years returned to Palm City, Florida, the place of his roots and family history. He deeply valued time with his family and found joy in life's simple pleasures, watching sports, especially basketball and baseball, snow skiing, playing pickleball, and spending days fishing. He attended Martin County High School and later Stetson University, where he was a proud member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. In Bobby's professional life, he was an active real estate agent, a certified home appraiser, and a real estate investor. In addition, he was highly valued as a substitute teacher in Martin County, Florida. His presence brought calm, compassion, and quiet strength to everyone around him.
To those he knew, Bobby leaves behind a legacy of devotion, generosity, and gentleness that will live on in all of our hearts.
