LCDR US NAVY
WORLD WAR II, KOREA, VIETNAM
On Sunday, May 10, 2020, retired LCDR Robert F. Suggs, loving husband of 71 years and father to three daughters passed away peacefully at the age of 91, with his family by his side.
Bob, as most knew him, entered the service September 1945 and was a 26 year Navy Veteran who earned many honors including the National Defense Service Medal, Viet Nam Campaign Medal, Viet Nam Service Medal, American Defense Service Medal, World War II Victory Medal, Navy Occupation Medal (Asia-European), China Service Medal, Good Conduct medal with four stars.
He retired in Key West, FL and started his own commercial lobstering business. After a few years they moved to Woodbine, GA where he lived for many years. He served the city of Woodbine, GA as Interim Chief of Police and as a Camden County Deputy Sheriff. He enjoyed planting large gardens and tending to his large blueberry field. During this time, he also developed a love of RV travel with his wife. Over the next 30 years, they took many long trips together. During his travels, he made many treasured friends. While traveling, he discovered he enjoyed the Okeechobee, FL area and they moved to a home on the water where he could fish in his spare time. They would summer in the North Ga mountains in Blairsville, GA at their home at Choestoe Falls RV Park, and winter back in Okeechobee, FL. Just two years ago he moved back to Camden County.
Bob had a quick wit that would take you by surprise. His family will look back at some of his quips and just smile. He is well known at his North GA mountain home as the best Taco soup chef around and it gave him great pride to have his yearly summer party and feed his friends and family. He has lived every year to its fullest. He was a wonderful husband and father who loved his wife and family and he will be dearly missed.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Noah and Maltie Suggs and his sister Ruby Sellers. Bob is survived by his wife Fayetta of 71 years, his daughters Nita Nelson, Pat Brawner (Rick), Cathy Johnson (Reggie), grandchildren David Tucker (Autumn), Gregg Nelson, Julie Tucker, Nikki Johnson, Cody Johnson, Great grandchildren Deanna Beal (Jamey), Tori Tucker, Tyler Tucker, Ashlyn Taylor, Tegan Tucker, Anglin Tucker, Lily Johnson, Braelyn Ralph, Reece Tucker, Tenley Johnson, Ricky Tucker, Great-great grandchild Raine Dalager.
Robert will be laid to rest at Jacksonville National Cemetery on Monday, May 18th 2020.
