Born in California, Robert found peace casting his fishing line into quiet waters, pride in tending to his garden, and joy in firing up the grill for some delicious BBQ, filling the air with the smells of smoky goodness.
Above all, Robert enjoyed the role of Grandpa the best. He cherished every moment he spent with his grandchildren and was their greatest supporter, instilling in them a sense of love, humor, and kindness.
Robert is survived by his mother, Marcia Havens, his children Michael Allen Havens, Nicholas Havens, Tiffany Michelle Havens, Shannon Noelle Havens, Richard Lloyd Ortega, Raymond Daniel Ortega, and Rachel Marie Ortega, and his grandchildren Richard Jr, Raymond Jr, Lexie, Aiden, Alessandra, Alex, Audrey, Gigi, Chiquis, Camila, Zeke, Azrael, and Sophia.
He was proceeded in death by his father Richard Havens and his sister Linda Michelle Havens.
Robert also leaves behind a legacy of warmth, wisdom, and love that will forever grow within the hearts of all who knew him. May he rest in everlasting peace.
