Robert “Bobby” Gomezjurado
November 30, 1984 – April 17, 2026

Robert “Bobby” Gomezjurado, 41, of Tampa, Florida, passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Born on November 30, 1984, and raised in Tampa, Bobby was a driven entrepreneur and a hardworking, talented man who could build, fix, and create just about anything. Known as the life of the party, he had a way of bringing people together with his humor, energy, and generous spirit.

Above all, Bobby was a devoted father. He leaves behind his beloved children, Donovan Carter-Gomezjurado and Sophia Gomezjurado, who were the center of his world. He is also survived by his loving mother, Fabiola Gomezjurado; his siblings, Marcela (husband, Ashley Mote), Eduardo Gomezjurado, and Sandra Neves (husband, David Neves); along with many nieces and nephews who adored him. Bobby was especially known as the fun-loving “funcle,” always connecting with them on their level, including Joshua, Gianni, Catherine, Isabella, and Austin (“Bobby Jr.”).

Bobby shared a special bond with his loyal dog, PeeWee. While Bobby rescued PeeWee, those who knew them would say PeeWee rescued Bobby right back—his constant companion and best friend, whom he would love to spoil and mess with at every opportunity.

He is preceded in death by his father, Eduardo Gomezjurado, whom he loved deeply and motivated him to become a man his father would be proud of, and with whom we find comfort in knowing he is now reunited.

He is also survived by his beloved Aunt Helen Castro, many cousins, and those he shared a close bond with, including Mariana Malpica and Ray Cedeño.

A proud Tampa native, Bobby was a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and loved the camaraderie of cheering on his team.

Bobby will be remembered for his kindness, humor, dedication to his family and children, inspiring work ethic, unique and varied talents and skills, and amazing heart and soul who made him the man we know and love.

A celebration of Bobby’s life will be held on Thursday, April 23, from 4:00–8:00 PM at International Beer Garten, 16540 Pointe Village Dr, Lutz, FL 33558. Family and friends are invited to gather, share memories, and celebrate the good times in true Bobby fashion.

A private burial service will take place on Saturday, May 9th, at Calvary Catholic Cemetery.

John Garrett Lichter
July 5, 1961 - March 31, 2026

John Garrett Lichter, a businessman and craftsman who treasured the people in his life, died of natural causes on March 31. He was 64. He cherished his fellowship with many but lifted up one, the 40-year romance with his wife, Taffey. He was a thinker, a curious reader and a keen observer of the human condition. He completed mechanical repairs in the apartment building he owned with the same kind of care he manifested in all things.

He was born July 5, 1961, in Philadelphia, and moved to North Carolina for college. After graduation he worked in and around real estate, sometimes as a property manager. In the late 1990s he moved to St. Petersburg to be closer to Taffey, who he met through a mutual friend.

They married Oct. 17, 1998, and took care to maintain that bond on a daily basis, following a set of guidelines that included frequent and honest communication. He purchased and managed an apartment building in north St. Petersburg, keeping a downstairs workshop for his extensive work with wood and stones.

An accomplished lapidarist, John turned a two-bedroom unit into a labyrinth of cabinets and tools, which he used to cut and polish thousands of stones.

Hunks of rock, including jade and Chinese turquoise, remain in their cases, surrounded by hundreds of small drawers labeled in red pencil or Sharpie – ebony and other African hardwoods, cedar and petrified wood. The gleaming stones would end up mounted with the wooden symbols he carved — perhaps cross or a heart, or a phoenix symbolizing rebirth and renewal. This is where he worked and thought and read books on Christianity and life’s purpose.

A similar cultivation inhabited the home they shared with a string of dogs they outlived, with the exception of Muffin, who usually wants more attention. A makeshift studio in honor of his work in college as a radio deejay takes up a small room, where some of that equipment remains surrounded by rock ‘n roll albums.

In everyday life, his steadiness balanced her passion, just as the vibrant colors of her personality complemented the micro-fine details of his. He died unexpectedly, in the executive chair in his workshop, surrounded by the stones from which he had extracted so much beauty.

John is survived by his wife, Mary Lynch “Taffey” Lichter; his sister, Laura Austin and her husband, Joe; Taffey’s sons, Franklin Perry Lynch and Thomas Christopher Lynch; his nephew, Scott Austin, and niece, Stephanie Austin.

A celebration of life will be held on April 27, starting at 11 a.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 701 Beach Drive NE 33701. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to First Presbyterian Church.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Donald; her sister, Johnnie Jean Heres; her brother, Michael Kroll; and her granddaughter, Jacqueline Brettner.

In Loving Memory of Shirley Ann Sanborn
July 5, 1936 – March 26, 2026

Shirley, a kind, generous, smart, funny, thoughtful, resilient, and strong woman who positively impacted countless lives, passed away on Thursday, March 26, 2026, in Clearwater, FL, at the age of 89. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

With an infectious laugh and a gift for bringing joy to any room, Shirley made people feel welcome and seen. She had a way of turning ordinary moments into memories—through a quick wit, a warm smile, and the steady strength she carried through life’s ups and downs.

She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She poured her heart into her family and shared her motherly love with many special people along the way. Her care showed up in the little things—checking in, showing up, listening closely, and giving more of herself than anyone ever expected.

Shirley took great pride in her work as a waitress. More than a job, it was a place where she could do what she loved most—be social, be around people, and brighten someone’s day. She remembered faces, stories, and favorite orders, and she treated everyone with the same respect and genuine kindness.

She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family. She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Reginald Sanborn, her children: Michelle Casey (Jackie Marchand), Michael Olshefski (Linda Stiehl), step-children: Chris Sanborn (Michelle Wysman), Jill Sanborn (Kim Sale), her grandchildren: Mick Casey and Christopher Sanborn Jr., sisters Sue Files, Lila Baker, and Peggy Kopolow, and an array of great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, and many other loved ones and friends who became family. She was preceded in death by her mother, Evelyn Banker, her sister, Dawn Holbert, and her first husband, Cy Olshefski.

Shirley’s devoted dog, Muffin, brought her countless hours of unwavering companionship, comfort, and joy.

A celebration of Shirley’s life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes memorial contributions to a pet shelter, Planned Parenthood of Central and Western NY, or a charity of your choice, in honor of the love and generosity she so freely showed.

Though we mourn her passing, we give thanks for a life that was full of laughter, love, and quiet strength. May we honor her by caring for one another the way she always did—openly, sincerely, and with joy.
