He is known for his selfless nature, his quick wit, and his infamous humor. His biggest passion was his family… Nothing else mattered as long as his family was happy. “If you like it, Then I love it!”, was a phrase you would hear him say.

Bob was preceded in death by his father James and mother Rachael as well as his brother Jim and sisters Kathy and Carolyn He is survived by his wife Charlene and two children, Kelly Akins-Allen (Kevin), Scott Akins (Bobbie), granddaughter Karlee Rhea Allen and two granddogs Zoey and Yola.

Donations to the Humane Society in Bob Akins honor would be the biggest gift. In his final days not only did he want to make sure his family was taken care of, he also wanted to take care of all the animals.
