Robert Proy Obituary

Robert Thomas Proy

Aug 18, 1950 - Jul 20, 2024

Zellwood

Pastor and Chaplain Bob Proy went to be with Jesus on Saturday, July 20, 2024.

He is survived by his wife, Jan Nadine Proy of Florida; two sons, Ryan Proy of Florida, wife, Roseanne, and Casey Proy of Ohio, wife, Erica. He will be forever missed by his father, Robert Carl Proy of Ohio, and his only sister, Connie Baker of Indiana, and husband, Gary. His fun and loving personality will be missed by his many grandkids and great-grandkids.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Elizabeth (Betty) Rose Proy, who met him with open arms.

He will be remembered as a great man of God who influenced thousands of people across many states, from church members to inmates in the prisons in Florida with his message of love, hope, and forgiveness. His legacy will continue through his Chaplain ministry and the books and manuals he wrote. To honor and further, that ministry has been his passion for the last 10 years. You can obtain his book and manuals on Amazon. The book and manual entitled, Church in Chains, was written and published two years ago and has forever changed the lives of inmates and all those who have read and studied the material.

Bob's memorial service will be 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, 2024, at his home church, River Clermont Church in Clermont, Florida. Pastor Caleb Ring will officiate. All are welcome to come and celebrate the life and legacy of Chaplain Bob Proy.

I´m so sorry to hear of the passing of Pastor Bob. These things are never easy. But i´m sure he entered the God´s kingdom hearing "well done, good and faithful servant". I have fond memories when he was pastor at the People´s church in sandusky. His ministry was instrumental in my rededication to Christ as a young adult. What an anointing on that church at that time! May God bless Jan and family during this difficult time. Jody Yontz
