Robert “Bob” Lee Kinnison, age 73, of Celina, Ohio, passed away peacefully on the morning of Wednesday, September 2, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born on July 13, 1953, in Celina, Ohio, to Harold W. and Rose Ann (Brock) Kinnison, who preceded him in death. Bob was a graduate of Celina High School, Class of 1972. He dedicated 34 years of service to the City of Celina, working at the Wastewater Treatment Plant before retiring in 2004.

He especially loved fishing, including trips to Canada, where he enjoyed spending time on the water with a fishing pole in his hand. Whether he was out fishing or hunting, sharing stories, or simply talking about his favorite outdoor adventures, these activities brought him tremendous joy throughout his life.
