Robert McAfee Obituary
June 21, 1950 - June 10, 2025
Pollock Pines, California - Robert William McAfee, 74, passed away unexpectedly following surgery on June 10, 2025, in Sacramento, California.
Born on June 21, 1950, Robert proudly served in the United States Navy from 1971 to 1974. Following his military service, he built a successful career as the owner and operator of Big 4 Tire Service. After selling the business to Inland Industrial Tire in 2012, he continued to manage operations until his retirement in 2017.
Robert was a kind and loving husband and father who cared deeply for his family and friends. His warmth and generosity left a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to know him.
He is survived by his son Travis McAfee; daughter Tiffany Halsey; daughter-in-law Adrienne McAfee; grandchildren Colton McAfee, Kariann Baxkey, Dominic Halsey, Londen Halsey, Taylor Pietrzyk, and great-grandchild Saraya Pietrzyk.
He was preceded in death by his wives Carol McAfee and Nancy McAfee; his parents John and Martha McAfee; and his son Jordan Shortino.
In his leisure time, Robert enjoyed hunting and fishing. In later years, he found joy working around his property and spending time with his family.
No services are planned at this time.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.

As a new neighbor of 31/2 years, our friendship felt many years older. His passing has left us with a huge void. Rest easy my friend!

I´ve know Bob over 25 years, first as a competitor then as my boss, I was between jobs when Bob threw me a lifeline and saved me when I needed saving, he had a hard exterior until he got to know you and earned his trust, over time we bonded, became more like brothers, brothers who argued a lot. Bob was very opinionated, but he was respectful of someone else´s opinion, if you could make your case, it may not change his mind but he would consider it. Bob made me loyal to him, and he returned that loyalty to me, whenever I needed personal time to deal with life´s crises, he was always there for me and my family. I am so thankful I was able to talk with Bob just days before going in for his procedure. He was a good, good man with a great heart and full of love for his family, and Bob was my friend. I´m missing him, but I know I will see him again one day. God Bless you Bob. My deepest condolences to Travis and his family.
