Robert Marshall Jennings, Sr.

Robert (Bob) Marshall Jennings, 81, of Edmond, Oklahoma passed away on October 17, 2025.

He was born on May 16, 1944, in Boston, Massachusetts to Marshall and Elaine Jennings. In 1963 Bob married Bonnie and together they raised two children and were blessed with five grandchildren. They shared a loving marriage until Bonnie’s passing in January 2024.

Bob lived in Redlands, California for 40 years before moving to Oklahoma to live with his son for the past three-plus years. He was a devoted family man who found joy in spending time with his loved ones and caring for his two dogs.

A life-long car enthusiast, Bob had a particular passion for 1956 Fords – especially Crown Victorias. He turned that passion into a career when he founded Bob’s Automotive in 1982, running the business with pride and integrity until his retirement in 2022. Bob had a gift for bringing cars back to life, restoring them with care and craftsmanship that reflected his deep love for the art of automotive repair.

Bob was successful in both business and life because his kindness, honesty and genuine connection with others left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

A Graveside Service will be held on Monday, October 27, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at Gracelawn Cemetery in Edmond, Oklahoma.
