Robert Axton Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mr. Axton was of the Pentecostal belief and carried a quiet faith that grounded him throughout his life. He was a man of simple joys and steady routines, known for his love of the outdoors and his appreciation for the little things that brought peace and satisfaction.
He especially enjoyed mowing grass-finding both pride and calm in a freshly cut lawn. He had a passion for putting together model cars and trucks, showcasing his patience and attention to detail. Dirt track racing was another of his great loves; he enjoyed the excitement of the race and the community that came with it. In quieter moments, he found comfort in working puzzles, carefully bringing scattered pieces together to make something whole.
Robert will be remembered as a kind-hearted man with a gentle spirit. His pastimes reflected his steady, thoughtful nature, and those who knew him will miss his quiet presence and the small joys he brought into everyday life.
He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, one brother; Carl Axton, one sister Patsy McCarty, grandmother; Arinda Jones, and one aunt; Earlene Henson.
Robert is survived by his two sisters; Charlotte Johnson of Newport, Martha Handley of Illinois, eleven nieces and nephews: Karen Green and husband David of Newport, Kathy Lewis and husband Kevin of Missouri, Pamela Nelson of Missouri, Steven McCarty of Missouri, Bryant McCarty of Missouri, Arinda Beaston of Missouri, Kurt Handley of Illinois, Stacy Handley of Illinois, Noah Axton of Illinois, Jackee Axton of Illinois, Alana Axton of Illinois, and several great nieces and nephews.
