Robert Everett Murch, 58, loving husband, father, brother, uncle, son and friend, passed away unexpectedly surrounded by his family on February 19, 2023 in Ft. Myers, FL. Bob was born on December 28, 1964 in Jamaica, New York. The first of four children, he was a born leader which he demonstrated throughout life. Bob loved sports as both spectator and participant. He enjoyed golf, tennis, hockey, pickleball, biking 100 miles in Pelotonia to raise funds for cancer research and most of all baseball. One of his most-loved traditions was playing in the Red Sox Fantasy Camp where he formed lifelong friendships. But his favorite of all was watching, coaching and playing sports with his cherished daughter. Known as the “designated playmate” on family vacations, he had a huge heart for all kids and loved to help nieces, nephews and friends’ children with their sports. Music was part of Bob’s soul. A self-taught drummer, he enjoyed entertaining friends by curating the perfect playlist and even sometimes drumming along when friends gathered. His smile lit up every room, his quick wit made people laugh and he never met a stranger. Bob loved spontaneous adventures, strived to live in the moment and challenged himself to be the best he could be. He made everyone feel special and was a committed friend and confidant to many. Bob graduated from Franklin University with a BS in Finance; earned his MBA from the Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University; was a CPA and FLMI; served as Adjunct Faculty at Franklin University, was former president and board member at Jefferson Country Club and current Finance Committee member at Pelican Sound Golf Club. Bob spent his career as a finance professional advising senior executives and business owners. He is preceded in death by his father, Everett Lloyd Murch and survived by his beloved wife of 30 years, Natalie Murch and adored daughter, Alexandra Murch (Hailey Koebel); mother Ann, brothers Richard (Janet) and Kevin (Elizabeth), sister Amy; sister-in-law Stephanie, nieces and nephews, cousins and countless friends.
