Robert Dale Elkins Sr., 59, passed away on July 11, 2024, in Charleston, SC with his wife and son by his side. Born on July 10, 1965, in San Bernardino County, CA. He was a devoted husband, father, brother, and Paw-Paw.

Robert proudly served in the Navy as an MS2 from February 19, 1988, to October 11, 1995, dedicating over seven years of his life to his country. He received numerus medals, awards and recognition during his military service.

He earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Phoenix, which furthered his professional and personal growth. Robert was a passionate fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies, and he relished the times spent cheering for his teams. Beyond his love for sports, he enjoyed beach outings and cherished moments with his family.
