ROBERT EARL NEVINS

Robert Earl Nevins, 62, of Alpena, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, Oct. 1, 2018 at his home. He was born on Sept. 18, 1956 to Earl and Donna (O’Neil) Nevins in Alpena. Being born and raised in the Alpena area for most of his life, Bob learned to love all that northern Michigan had to offer. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, canning, watching westerns on tv, cooking, watching Nascar (always rooting for Kevin Harvick), he also had an extensive love for gardening and his cat “Mama Kitty”. If it had anything to do with the outdoors Bob was all for it.

He is survived by his three children, Robert Nevins and fiancee (Lindsey Renner) of Eaton Rapids, Mich., Ryan Nevins and girlfriend (Laura VanVolkenburg) of Alpena, and Rachel Nevins of Alpena, his mother Donna Nevins of Alpena, six brothers and sisters, Diane (Milton) Edmonds of Eaton Rapids, Mich., Randy (Donna) Nevins of Eaton Rapids, Mich., Kurt (Carol) Nevins of Springport, Mich., Lori (Alan) Dixon of Scotts, Mich., Donald Nevins of Lachine, and Margaret (Frank) Pickard of Long Rapids; and granddaughter Ava Nevins.

Bob was preceded in death by his father Earl Nevins.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018 at Long Rapids First Congregational Church from 1 p.m. until the time of funeral service at 4 p.m. with Rev. Arnie Kirschner officiating.
