Robert B Pentecost

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Bobby, who departed this life on June 11, 2025, at the age of 62.

Bobby found joy in the simple things—whether it was a quiet afternoon listening to his police scanner, a hobby that began in childhood when he’d follow his father’s calls as a proud son of a Santa Barbara Police Officer, or the satisfaction of knowing the backroads and highways of Southern California like the back of his hand. For over 40 years, Bobby worked as a process server, a career that took him to nearly every courthouse from San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles. He took pride in his work, his knowledge of the region, and his independence.

Bobby was preceded in death by his beloved father, Robert Pentecost II, and his grandparents. He leaves behind a devoted and loving family: his mother Lillian Pentecost; his brother Peter James Pentecost (Brenda), along with children Peter James II and Krista; his sister Kathleen Pentecost (Ronald), and children Justin, Nicole, and Stephanie; and his sister Margaret Santarossa (John), and children Ashley, Jessica, and Dominick. Along with great nieces and nephews. Those who knew Bobby will remember his quiet nature, his sharp memory, and his deep connection to the routines and rhythms of the world around him. His presence was steady and grounded—a reflection of the life he lived and the love he held for his family.

He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

** There will be a Celebration of Bobby’s Life held in September.
