Robert Patterson Huling, born January 5, 1947, in Boston, Massachusetts, passed away on August 6, 2025, at the age of 78.

In his 20s, Robert moved to Bakersfield, California, where he met the love of his life, Janettee. The two were married for 44 years and built a life filled with love, laughter, and family. A devoted Boston Celtics fan, Robert carried his New England roots proudly throughout his life.

He dedicated 10 years of service to the County of Kern, followed by 28 years working for the State of California before retiring.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Helen O. Huling and Henry H. Huling. He is survived by his beloved wife Janettee Huling; brothers Henry Huling Jr (Jeannie), Paul Huling, and Alan Huling (Marion); sister Elaine Landry (Thomas); daughter Kristen Cornell (Jeff); and three cherished grandsons: Matthew, Hunter, and Lincoln.

He is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews, all of whom brought him great joy and laughter over the years.

He will be remembered for his steady presence, sense of humor, and deep love for his family.
