Robert Lee Deibel, 85, of Alligator Point, FL, passed away on Wednesday – September 10, 2025. Robert was born in New Philadelphia, OH on May 17, 1940 to the late Robert Otis Deibel and Alta Marie Burrier Deibel. He married Joann Neely Deibel, who preceded him in death on July 30, 2009. He worked as an Instructor for a Software Development Company called NCR. He leaves behind his significant other, June Groover, who resides in Boston, GA. Bob was the love of her life. They had a wonderful companionship that meant the world to her, and without him she will forever be broken hearted. He was also the very best friend to his son Eric Gronberg, of Atlanta, GA. Not only was Robert his best friend, but also his mentor, and leader. He will be missed immensely by both of them. Other survivors include, June's Daughter - Julie Lawrence, and Julie's children, Kristy Howell and Keith Williams, III, all of Boston, GA.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later time.
