Robert Lee “Bob” Griffith died on Sunday, October 20, 2024, seven months after being diagnosed with ALS. He was born in Los Angeles on May 15, 1940.
He lived a life filled with faith, love, and service to others. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, cherished friend, and devout Christian.
His loved ones “take comfort in knowing that Bob, because of his faith in Christ, is now in the presence of the Lord, free from pain and surrounded by His love.”
He was known for hugs, kindness, compassion, and unwavering faith. He touched the lives of many through his involvement in church activities (where he served as an elder), community service (where he served both as a planning commissioner and councilman), and his family.
He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Georgia; children Robert Griffith (Heather) and Jennifer Peters (Eric); grandchildren Robert Griffith (Danna), Abigail McGhee (Brayden), Michael Griffith, Marissa Peters and Wyatt Peters; great-granddaughters Ellie Griffith, Margaret McGhee and Lillian McGhee; and countless friends who will remember his warm spirit and generous heart. He was preceded in death by his mother, Geneva Lucille Griffith; and his sister, Donna Roberts (Don).
A Celebration of Life is planned for 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 30, at Open Gate Christian Fellowship, 950 West Laurel Street, Willows. All are welcome to join in honoring his memory.
A potluck and reception is to follow the service.
