Robert Rutter Obituary

Winter Haven Robert Payton "Rob" Rutter of Winter Haven, Florida, passed away on December 22, 2024, one day after celebrating his 80th birthday.

Born on December 21, 1944, Rob led a distinguished life as both an executive and an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God. His dual vocations allowed him to impact countless lives across professional and spiritual communities. As President and CEO of five companies, he guided each organization to record-breaking sales and profitability. In his ministry, Rob served congregations throughout the Midwest and Florida and was featured twice on the 700 Club, sharing his faith and message with a broader audience.

Rob is lovingly remembered by his daughters, Tammy Suhetskis and Wendy Jacobs; five grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Cindy Rutter; his son, Robert Todd Rutter; and his parents, Robert Basil and Claudine Omara Rutter.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him. Robert Rutter
