Robert Gene Nofzinger (Bob) passed away peacefully on February 21, 2025, after a long courageous battle with many health issues and Covid complications. He was born in Adrian on February 28, 1957, to Ervin and Margaret (Somerlott) Nofzinger. It gives his family great comfort knowing that Bob professed his faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and he is now perfectly healed and joyously happy in Heaven.

He was especially close to his nephew Gary and they shared many of the same interests, including fishing. Bob missed him deeply after he passed away.

Bob loved life, his family and his pets. He also loved cooking his mother’s favorite recipes. He enjoyed fishing, watching the Tigers and holidays with lots of decorations and treats. Many thanks for the professional care given by Newcomer Funeral Home Toledo and the medical staff at both Promedica Toledo Hospital and Regency Hospital in Sylvania.
