John Robert Blevins Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

John Robert Blevins, Jr. was born July 9, 1950 in Mt. Clemens, MI to Rosemary Stark Blevins and John R. Blevins, Sr. He died on September 23, 2018 at home in Kissimmee, FL with his wife of 20 years at his side. Bob spent several years serving his country in the U. S. Air Force. He eventually entered college at University of South Florida and graduated in three years with a double major. During the time he lived in Brandon, he was an active member of First United Methodist Church. Later he moved to Ohio and attended Methodist Theological School in Ohio where he met his wife, Lynn. For several years they co-pastored a small church in rural Ohio. Later he was employed as a Transportation Security Officer for Homeland Security, a job he enjoyed greatly as it recalled his early military days. When Lynn retired, they relocated from Ohio to Kissimmee, FL where he continued his work at the Orlando International Airport. Unfortunately his work life was cut short by poor health. Bob loved all sports especially baseball. As a boy he played Little League in the Tampa area and continued to play on various local teams as long as he was able. He also enjoyed fishing and NASCAR and spending time with Lynn and their pets. He had a quick wit and a mischievous sense of humor and will be sadly missed by those who loved him. Bob is survived by his wife, Rev. Martha Lynn Blevins, of Kissimmee, his Mom, Rosemary, of Brandon and his brother and wife, Walter N. and Carolyn Blevins of Vista, CA. Bob was preceded in death by his father John, and his sister Susan Blevins. A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 13, at 1:00 P.M. at All Faiths United Church of Christ in Ridge Manor, FL where Lynn serves a pastor. Rev. Gordon Ralls, a long-time family friend, will officiate. Bob will be laid to rest at the Bushnell National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by All Faiths UCC, 34006 Cortez Blvd., Ridge Manor, FL 33523. Arrangements are being handled by Fisk Funeral Home in St. Cloud, FL.
