Robert Wenger Saunders II Obituary
Robert “Bob” W Saunders II, age 68, of Panama City Florida, passed away on July 4th, 2022. Bob’s loss was completely unexpected and our family is shocked and deeply saddened. Anyone who met Bob knew him to be a jovial soul who had never met a stranger in his lifetime. Bob’s family and friends will miss him more than words can describe.
Bob was born on June 25th, 1954 to Hazel Shotwell and Robert W Saunders in Kansas City, Missouri. He graduated from Wheat Ridge High School in Jefferson, Colorado in 1972. Bob had three daughters who adored him. His first child, Mickie Jan Saunders, would be born in 1975, during his marriage to his first wife, Dana Ware. Crystal Eve Saunders and Jennifer Ilene McCann (Saunders) each came 5 years apart from Mickie, during his marriage to his second wife, Vicki Drown (Cloud). He spent a majority of his life as an on-the-road truck driver, however he dabbled often in AC repair and home improvement. He enjoyed tinkering with anything with an engine almost as much as he enjoyed coffee first thing in the morning.
Bob is predeceased by both parents, Hazel and Robert, as well as ex-wife Dana Ware and his last spouse, Angela Workman. He is survived by all 3 of his daughters as well as grandchildren: Mickie Jan Saunders; her children Brittany, Brooklynn and Bryson; and grandchild Sophia (Brittany) / Crystal Eve Saunders; her children Robert (wife, Ariel), Charles, and Cody; and grandchildren Julia and Lucas / Jennifer Ilene McCann (husband, Aaron); her children Jeffrey and Julianna.
Bob was rather opposed to traditional funeral services, and wanted his life and memory to be cherished and celebrated, not mourned.
Please join his family in celebrating his wit and life at Paul W Airey American Legion Post 392, 535 Oak Avenue, Panama City FL 32401 on July 9th, 2022 at 4 pm. Stories, pictures, laughs and hugs to be shared alongside a meal provided by the McCann/Berry families.
