Robert Gene Blevins

Surrounded by loving family and friends, Bob Blevins passed away peacefully at his home in Cullman, Alabama where he resided for over 60 years. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Bob was born in Cullman, Alabama on December 17, 1937. He was a young 86 year old. He is survived by his son Robert Blevins and wife Cindy, daughter Candice Blevins, grandsons Travis Blevins, Taylor Blevins, Alexander Shoaff, Aidan Shoaff and nephew Xavier Flores. Bob was preceded in death by his loving wife Arabella Blevins and his ten brothers and sisters.

Bob was a very proud Marine and while stationed in Padre Island, Texas he met the love of his life, Arabella Tamez. They were married for 62 years. Bob was very artistic and athletic. He was an excellent golfer and an enthusiastic follower of all sports, especially the University of Alabama athletics and Crimson Tide football. Most of all, he loved his lake home at Smith Lake. He was an experienced and passionate fisherman. There were never any bad days at the lake for he and Arabella.

Professionally, Bob was a barber for over 60 years and practiced his trade in Birmingham, Alabama. Blevins Barber Shop in downtown Birmingham was the town hall for gossip, sports and politics. He used to say “I’m driving everyday to be with my friends”. It was not work in his mind. Bob will be missed by all and especially his family.

The family would sincerely like to thank the caregivers that shared their kindness and assistance to both Bob and Arabella over the years. Heart felt thanks to Sheila S., Shelia G., Robyn, Barbara, Christy, Nicole, Kenneth, Mary, Shanna, Patsy, and Crystal.

A memorial service will be held at the St. Bernard Abbey Columbarium at 2:30pm Thursday, April 11, 2024. A reception will follow from 3:00-5:00pm at the All Steak Restaurant. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to St. Bernard Preparatory School located at 1600 St. Bernard Drive, SE in Cullman, Alabama 35055.
