BOBBY (BOB) ALLEN HAMILTON, age 67, passed peacefully on Thursday, December 25, 2025, in Pontiac.

Bob was preceded in death by his father, Alton Hamilton; his cherished spouse, Diane Hamilton; his daughter, Tiffany; and his brother Al.

He is lovingly survived by his mother, Loretta (Munger) Hamilton; his loving sons, Bobby Hamilton and Ryan Hamilton; his treasured grandchildren, Megan, Mackenzie, Finn, and Layla; and his great-grandchildren, Avah and Aryanna. Bob is also survived by his siblings, Dale, Brenda, Laurie, Nancy, and Gale; and by his significant other, Tina, who brought companionship and comfort to his later years.

Bob's greatest joy in life was his family. He deeply loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, always taking pride in watching his family grow. A natural builder and problem-solver, Bob enjoyed understanding how things worked and could often be found working on projects or creating something with his hands. Each year, he planted a garden that he tended with care and pride, celebrating every successful harvest. He also found simple pleasure in setting up bird feeders and watching the birds gather.

Bob had a fondness for nature and enjoyed being outdoors whenever the weather allowed. In quieter moments, he liked watching YouTube videos of older cars being restored especially those that had been sitting untouched for decades finding satisfaction in seeing them brought back to life.

Bob will be remembered for his curiosity, his hands-on spirit, and the love he shared so freely with his family. He leaves behind many cherished memories that will be held close by all who knew and loved him.

A gathering of family and friends will be held on Friday, January 2, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at COATS FUNERAL HOME - WATERFORD. A memorial service will also be held at the funeral home on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at 10:30 AM. To post a tribute, please visit www.CoatsFuneralHome.com.
