Robert William Pennington III (Rob), 36, of Okeechobee, FL, passed away April 12, 2023, of natural causes.
He was born in Charleston, WV, on May 26, 1986 to Robert William Pennington II and M. Christine Sizemore. He had been a resident of Ft. Pierce and Okeechobee, FL, since 2014 coming from Shrewsbury, WV.
Rob graduated from Riverside High School in 2004.
Rob was a fun-loving red-blooded proud American with a heart of gold. He loved NASCAR, shooting guns, muddin’ on four-wheelers, country music, practical joking and playing with Macayla and her new pup Daisy, and nieces and nephew Eleanor, Evelyn and Alistair who lovingly called him ‘Rob-Rob.’ He earned a living as an accomplished and skillful welder who was quite proud of ‘dropping dimes’ and hated welding aluminum although much of his work was exactly that.
He is survived by his fiancé Emily Peterson and her daughter Macayla of Okeechobee; his mother and step-father Christine and Michael Whiteside of Port St. Lucie; his father Robert William Pennington II, of Shrewsbury, WV; his sister Sarah Elizabeth Pennington of Boston, MA; his step-sister Sarah Slocum of Exeter, NH; and his grandmother Moncia Jean Lynch of Malden, WV; as well as a huge and loving extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was predeceased by his grandfathers E.V. Sizemore and Robert William Pennington, and grandmother Alice Pennington.
At his request there will be no funeral service. Other arrangements are under the direction of Millennium Cremation Service. Condolences may be shared online at www.millenniumcremationservice.com

Chris, Mike, Sarah Beth, and Sarah,
It is hard to understand why Rob would have to leave this world at such a young age. My heart breaks with yours as I consider the void in your life that is left as a result of Rob’s passing. You loved Rob so very much, so I know your grief is as deep as your love. I pray that the God of All Comfort will give you strength and peace as you walk this unwanted path of sorrow. He knows, He cares, and He feels your pain. I pray He will wrap you up in His love and carry you through. You are dearly loved!

I’m at a loss for words to express my sympathy for you Chris, Mike, Sarah Beth, Sarah and Emily. My prayers for you have been ongoing, my heart is with you. I keep thinking that he’s with EV, the best grandfather anyone could have holding him. As God gives you daily strength, I pray He gives you some rest too.
All My Love, Ann White
