ROBERT (BOB) NELSON WITT
Bob passed away peacefully on March 7, 2026, in the care of “Kind Hearts Hospice” after 31 years of battling cancer and its unfortunate effects.
The song of your life has played its last chorus as we mourn your loss. Forever dreams of scoring that last hockey goal, seeing a rock concert or hearing your favorite song on the radio as soon as you turn on the car are long past, but fondly remembered as warm summer night drives with the window down and the volume at full blast in Heaven.
Bob lived life one moment at a time, never in a rush. Listening to music and reminiscing of the good old days through music trivia, and his extensive knowledge of music genres, especially rock & roll history. Not forgetting his love for the hockey game that he had as a child into adulthood. From playing for many years to watching the Toledo Goaldiggers and the Detroit Red Wings, his love of the game was very apparent.
Bob went through life unscripted and narrated by recreational means of a certain persuasion but was well loved regardless of what tomorrow had to offer as the free spirit that he was.
We are grateful, as your family, that we did not have a long goodbye. You are now free of physical barriers to run free and live life on your terms. Until we meet again, you rest in peace as a beloved Father, Brother, Cousin, and Uncle.
Bob was proceeded in death by both of his parents Lawrence S. Witt and Janet A. (Firebaugh) Witt. Bob is survived by his daughter Sonya (John) Witt-King; grandson Jaxon Witt-King; Siblings, Jim (Hollie) Witt, Cindy (Troy) Campbell; Nieces, Ashley Witt, Kyla (Kyle) Bachman; grandnieces, Hayden, Harper, Henley and Hudson Bachman; Cousin, Lisa Heaton; step-sisters, Tracey Erd, Tammy Cook, Terri Erd and Tina (Mark) Erd, and wife, Jamie (separated) Witt. A family celebration to honor his life will take place at a later date.
