It is with great sadness that the family of Robert "Rob" Lee Marth of North Port, announces his passing after a short battle with cancer on Sunday, June 10, 2018 at the age of 53.

Rob was born on April 8, 1965. He will be forever remembered by his wife and best friend Jessica. Hospice of Tidewell made it possible for Rob and Jessica to exchanged their wedding vows preceding his death on June 1, 2018. Rob was a loving father and grandfather and leaves behind his children Chris Shoupe (Lisa), Harvey Marth, Heidi Marth (Kevin), Marie Marth (Scott) Austin Palmer and Grace Marth. He is survived by ten grandchildren, Dominic, David, Daniel, Keegan, Aubrey, Holly K, Cameron, Jordan, Jaden and Beta. He leaves behind many other family members and friends who he thought of as family.

Rob had a pure joy for life and loved to work with his hands. Rob had a natural knack of fixing broken things and throughout his life, he worked on homes, cars, motorcycles, and boats. He enjoyed bird watching feeding squirrels and walks in the park.

Rob's celebration of life will be held at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, June 20 at Nippino Trail Park, Nokomis FL

This memorial website was created in memory of Robert "Rob" Marth. We will remember him forever. 

You are welcome to share your stories, thoughts and memories of him.

Sending love and condolences to all of Robs family and friends. Another life cut to short. I was fortunate enough to have the chance to form a friendship with Rob over some years. You will truly be missed and I know you are at peace. Not only is there love for you left here on earth but there is so much love awaiting your presence in heaven as well. Fly high Rob...you can now live without limits. Hug those who we have all been without and celebrate eternity. Gone but never forgotten. Much love and I'll miss you my friend. "Dancing in the sky"

Dear Rob,
Although I did not know you very well, I have cried many tears over your passing. I DO know that you were a gentle and kind man. A man slow to anger and quick to love. A wonderful and proud father. A loving husband. A good son-in-law. A very grateful man, who appreciated the small things and did not yearn for what he did not have. I am happy your crossed our family's path. You loved on our Jessica. You gave us Gracie. You fathered Austin. We got to meet some of your lovely family. Everyone who met you liked you. Rest in Peace, dear Rob. No more pain. I know that you committed your life to God and that He welcomed you with open arms and that you have all the love to sustain you -till you meet your loved ones again.
My deepest sympathies to all of Rob's family.
"The Lord is near to the broken hearted and saves the crushed in spirit"
Psalm 34.18.
Until we meet again, Rob.

Rob, I'm really going to miss you. I already miss you. You have touched my life with your love of life... and appreciation for the smallest things in life. You were the answers to a mother's prayer... to have someone love and cherish my daughter, and you did that. I know I'll see you again someday, but for now... you will live forever in our hearts and memories.
I'm thankful you are no longer suffering. I know that new room in our Father's house is awesome, and yes - you can call me mom! xo

His Life

Robert L. Marth

June 18, 2018

Rob lived a crazy adventurous life at one time...But the Rob I met was always with a grin and telling some kind of joke or something to make you laugh...and he was so kind polite and positive... and gentle... Rob was also a treasure hunter...he loved to find things...

Rob was a stoic and handsome man, but not my type...lol (back then so I thought anyway) BUT God had other plans...I had no idea when Rob entered my life just how abundantly blessed my life would become...Not only did Rob shower me with love, kindness and devotion...he took the time to know me... understand me... He saw me for me...and loved me anyway...he loved me beyond my flaws, he never judged me on any of my past... He SHOWED me love doesn't hurt. He showed me I DID deserve to be treated like a queen... and he reminded me daily...Rob never let me carry bags, he opened doors and fixed everything!! Then after all that God blessed us with...He decicded to also bless us with our baby girl, Gracie... In 2016, she was her Dada's bestie from day one. If he was outside so was she...if he was in his chair she was on his lap, if he went in his truck so did she...They were attached at the hip from day one...I don't know where our lives would have been had we never met...nor do I want to..

 I do know I am beyond grateful and honored to have had these years with Ron...even though they we're cut way to short I know with every ounce of my soul, God put us together. We inspired each other, we completed each other, we uplifted each other and so much more... We were given a beautiful little well a big family actually and beautiful little life...You made my heart sing and gave me life back... I have our beautiful baby girl who looks just like her Dada...she even has the same twinkle in her eyes you do...her smiles is yours all day...I have your Heidi and Marie now too and Mimi's baby's... I can't even begin to thank you for all your love and patience my love....SIP You will always be missed and never forgot.... I used to be his angel now he's mine....you will forever be in our hearts and Gracie will know just who her Daddy was and just how much he loved us all... especially her

I wasn’t fortunate enough to have known Rob for very long. However I knew without a doubt that he loved the women in his life. His wife, his daughters he treated them like queens. Seeing him with Gracie was always so heartwarming. He was a natural at being a good dad. He also had quite the sense of Humor there was always a laugh to be had when chatting with Rob. I was lucky to get to meet such a great husband and father. Sleep in Peace Rob!

I met Rob through a mutual friend... and we all hung out several times...though I knew we would be great friends someday... I never knew he would become my “best friend” and my “one”. I remember one of the first times  he asked to take us out to dinner and of course I and my friend accepted... I just remember  thinking...”gosh this guy is quiet” I’d ask questions and just get nonchalant answers or nods...He barley would ever talk to me...or look at me...lol! Well  on Jan 1 2015 I gave in to hanging out with him, which I was really worried it was gonna be awkward cause he didn’t seem to be a man of many words and I like to chat! We had a great evening and some months later,  he finally told me why he was so quiet all the time and wouldn’t look at me, it was because he was so nervous that he would mess up and say something wrong and he liked me so much he didn’t want to scare me away. Rob also used to  tell about how he NEVER believed in love at first sight until the day I walked through his door and he looked into my eyes and he knew that  love at first sight was a real thing, because he knew he had to have me...love came a little more softly for me as I  was very guarded and had many walls up from being hurt many times and in very bad relationships. But slowly with much persistence  those walls started to come down...little by little...brick by brick Rob took them down, hand by hand. Rob showed me what it was like to be loved... to be truly loved, excepted, respected, and never disrespected me no matter what.  He loved me so hard and was patient and kind and he SHOWED me what real love was and is...he helped me love me again.  He brought joy, laughter, and compassion to me in a very dark time in my life....and he loved me through all my brokenness...he knew me for me....he knew I wasn’t perfect, but Rob’s love was... not only for me but for his Gracie too...He loved my son as his own and his other four children were so loved by him....You could  always see how proud he was when he'd show them be off...Rob had a huge heart and would help anyone...anytime.  He was so funny and witty and always made everyone laugh... you are so very missed! We love you to infinity and beyond!!! Gracie kisses your wedding ring around my neck goodnight every night now.
