Robert Higginbotham, 60, passed away on August 17, 2025, in Clarkston, GA.


Robert Higginbotham was born on June 3, 1965 in FL, to Robert Wayne and Patricia Judy.

Robert moved to Georgia as a teenager from Florida.
He started his career as a Mechanic and went on to work as one for 40 years.
Before passing he worked at Mr. Transmission in Decatur.
Robert was a hard working man, who loved his children and all his grandchildren,
and his brother and sisters and his mother very much.
He also loved going to the beach anytime he could,
he was always at peace at the beach and he loved his "views" if you get my point.
He liked to go fishing, and grilling out some steaks.
Despite working on cars his whole life, he loved him some old classics.
Going to a car show brought a smile out of him like a kid on Christmas morning.
He devoted his life to being a father. He was the best one he could be.
He was a good friend to many, always helped people anytime he could.
He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.


Robert is survived by his children Robert Lou(35), Ashley(33), Crystal(45), and Kenneth(40),
His 11 grandchildren Kimberly(18), Aubree(10), Rylee(13), Aiyana(9), Levi(27), Makiya(21), Kylie(19),
Kody(21), Cheyenne(19), Bailee(17), KW(16), his 2 great granddaughters Lilly(3 months)
and Kensley(8 months) and also his Brother Gary and Sister Sherrill.


Robert is preceded in death by his parents Robert Wayne,
and Patricia Judy and sisters Janice and Tammy.
