Robert Lee Diamond, a devoted husband and father, passed from this earthly life on October 3, 2025, at the age of 74. Born on August 29, 1951, in Hazel Park, Oakland County, Michigan, to James Robert Diamond and Mary Loretta (Kalinin) Diamond, Robert's life was marked by the grace of God.

He often drew strength from the Apostle Paul: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" (2 Timothy 4:7-8, KJV). His assurance echoed the words: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16, KJV).

Though we mourn his passing, we take comfort in the promise that "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4, KJV). Robert now rests in the green pastures of heaven, guided by the Shepherd who declares, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4, KJV).Until we meet again in glory.
