Robert Eugene Bramblett, passed away peacefully on October 15, 2025, in Knoxville, TN, at the age of 90. Born on January 3, 1935, in Flint, Michigan, to the late Riley and Ruth Bramblett.
Robert earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, where he used that skill while working for Starrett Tool Company for many years. Beyond his professional life, Robert was a participant in the American Contract Bridge and the Knoxville Association of Bridge Clubs. His strategic mind earned him a Bronze Life Master in Bridge.
Along with his love for Bridge and Fishing, Robert was a self-taught craftsman at wood carving. He carved over 1500 pieces that many admired. However, nothing compares to his love for the Detroit Lions as a die-hard football fan.
He is Preceded in death by Wife, Jeanne Bramblett; Daughter, Laura Lynn Kobel; and Mother and Father, Riley and Ruth Bramblett.
Robert is survived by Son, Laurence Bramblett; Son in Law, Tim Kobel; 10 Grandchildren, 16 Great Grandchildren, and 3 Great-Great Grandchildren.
