Life story

In Loving Memory of Robert “Bobby” Allen Vicenzi

December 5, 1965 – March 20, 2011

Robert “Bobby” Allen Vicenzi was born on December 5, 1965, in Waterbury, CT, to Ann Vicenzi and Robert Frank. From an early age, Bobby carried a strength and determination that would define the man he became.

After moving to Florida as a young boy, he developed a deep love for the simple and honest beauty of country life. Horses, cows, open land, and farm living weren’t just interests to him — they were part of who he was. He found peace in hard work and joy in caring for animals. When he wasn’t embracing farm life, you could often find him in the gym. A true “gym rat,” Bobby believed in discipline, strength, and pushing himself to be better every day.

On January 16, 1987, he married the love of his life, Marti Padgett Vicenzi. Together they built a life rooted in commitment and family. He was a proud father to his two daughters, Channah Lee and Natalia Maari, who were among his greatest joys and accomplishments.

Though Bobby passed away on March 20, 2011, his legacy did not end there. In the years following his passing, he became a “Nupy” to Hayden, Ty, Payton, Jett, Kingston, and Calista — beautiful reminders that his life continues through the generations that follow. While he did not get to hold them in his arms, they carry his strength, his spirit, and his bloodline forward.

Bobby will be remembered for his hardworking nature, his love of family, his passion for country life, and the quiet strength he carried. His memory lives on in the land he loved, the values he instilled, and the family who continues to speak his name with pride and love.

Forever remembered. Forever loved 🤍
