Robert “Bob” Ashley, age 70, of Leo, IN passed away unexpectedly on December 3rd, 2025, while in Florida. Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years, Palma Ashley. Bob is also survived by his four children that he was immensely proud of, Paul, Rob (Kris), Quentin and Brandon. Also, his best friend, his little doggie, Riley. Bob was also blessed to have 7 grandchildren: Marissa, Sklyer, Kaleb, Blake, Darcy, Aidan, Alayna and 3 great grandchildren.
He was a man defined by his unwavering work ethic, someone who poured his heart into everything he did. When he was not working, he could often be found admiring or tinkering with his classic cars, a passion that brought him endless joy. He loved the thrill of football just as much, cheering on every game with genuine excitement. But nothing meant more to him than watching his family grow, guiding them, and taking pride in the incredible people they have become.
A memorial service in Bob’s honor will be held at a later date. Donations can be made to the National Heart Association.
