Robert Collins Obituary
Palm City, FL
Lee Collins joined his Father in heaven on Sunday, April 7, 2019.
He died from a Hepatitis A infection.
He was born in Martin County Hospital Stuart, FL on March 3, 1958, to Robert Talmadge and Mary Louise Jacobs Collins.
He loved growing up in Stuart and at an early age, he could be seen in his boat and 9.9 motor on all the creeks and rivers. He became a well-known fisherman, and people would try to follow him to find his secret spots. This love continued all his life, and he became a certified Boat Captain by the United States Coast Guard in August 2001.
He participated on the football and track teams and graduated from Martin County High school, class of 1976. He went to work for the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) achieving the position of District Manager until his retirement, in 2014.
Besides fishing, he had a passion for growing trees and flowers. His house and yard resembles a botanical garden. He enjoyed growing a variety of plants and trees specializing in his orchids.
Recently he and his wife became avid campers, trying to stay at as many Florida State Parks as they could.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
He leaves cherished memories to his wife, Cindy Fitts Collins. On June 12th of this year, they would have celebrated their 33rd anniversary. He leaves behind his brother Clark Collins (Maggie), Statesboro, Georgia; a nephew, Jacob Talmadge Collins ( Kelley), and their children: Lindsay, Robert Talmadge and Anna, Statesboro, Georgia. Also a niece, Blakeann Collins Saccone (Michael), Denver, Colorado. His loving in-laws Mr. and Mrs. Charles H Finley Jr of Jensen Beach, Florida and his lifelong friend Bobby Hall.

My family knows Stuart will never be the same without Lee and his warm smiles. I will always remember him for the endless games of basket ball he played across the street with Bobby, Dwight and regular buddies.
Our hearts ache for Wendy and all of their families and friends. Lee is in Heaven and will be there to greet every one one by one.
We´ll always remember and celebrate the one and only Lee Collins.
