Robert Pawlin

Robert Pawlin, 73, of Lake Alfred, Florida, went home to be with the Lord on June 20, 2026. He was born on March 13, 1953, in Ludlow, Massachusetts, to Steve and Rose Pawlin. Bob moved to Florida in 1994 from East Longmeadow, Massachusetts. Throughout his life, he worked in various occupations, but his most recent and favorite position was serving as Assistant Radio Station Manager at Landmark Baptist Church in Haines City, where he faithfully worked for the past three years and was a devoted member of the church family.

Bob loved watching sports and participating in church activities. Most importantly, he cherished spending time with his family and friends. Known for his dry sense of humor, Bob had a unique way of bringing smiles to those around him. He was passionate about the things he loved and lived his life with dedication, faith, and a deep appreciation for the people closest to him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Steve and Rose Pawlin; and his brother, William Pawlin.
