Robert Loren Midgett Jr., 76, of Florence, KY, passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on Saturday, July 20, 2024. The son of the late Robert and Geneva {Gulley} Midgett, Bob was born on May 3, 1948, in Flemingsburg, KY. Bob graduated from Dixie Heights High School and went on to spend many years truck driving, traveling through 48 states and Canada, ultimately retiring with Quality Carriers after 20 years of service.

In his spare time, Bob enjoyed golfing, fishing in the Ohio River, collecting old records, and going on camping trips to Gatlinburg with his family. He also loved playing card games and was known for his challenging card tricks.

He will be greatly missed by his wife of 48 years, Sandra Midgett; daughters Rebecca Midgett and Haley (Samuel) Loehrke; and sister Sharon (Doug) Horton.

In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his daughter Karah Midgett, brothers David and Tom Midgett, and sister Janice Lefler.
