Robert "Bob" Edward Agee, III

He died like any great mountain biker would.  His final breath was the crisp air of Chewacla State Park amongst the trees and wildlife that were his absolute passion.

Robert Edward “Bob” Agee, III, 68, of Auburn, Alabama, passed away on August 30, 2025, doing what he loved most — mountain biking at Chewacla Park. Surrounded by friends on the trails he cherished, Bob’s final moments were filled with joy, laughter, and the exhilaration of the ride, leaving this world with a smile and a fist bump according to one of his biking friends who were with him. 

Born on January 30, 1957, to the late Robert Agee, II and Jean Hill Agee, Bob grew up in Muscle Shoals and graduated from Muscle Shoals High School in 1975. He attended the University of North Alabama before pursuing his greatest passion at Auburn University. While there, he worked in research labs, earned his Bachelor of Science in Microbiology, and went on to graduate from the Auburn School of Pharmacy in 1983.

Bob’s career began with the University of South Alabama and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he balanced research and patient care. He later dedicated much of his professional life as a hospice and skilled care consultant, ensuring that patients and their families experienced dignity and compassion in life’s final chapter. His clinical work touched hundreds of lives, leaving behind a legacy of empathy and service.

In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his grandparents, Robert Edward Agee, Sr. and Mabel Dyer Agee, Alfred Sherman Hill and Lura Terry Hill; uncles Freddy Joe (Barbara) Agee, Ted Harod Agee, Brenda Brumley Agee, and Jack Junior (Zella) Norwood; cousin Jack Lindsey Norwood; and his beloved canine companions, Boudreaux and The Dude.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Tammy Rogers Agee; his sister, Kelly Agee Uhlman; his brother, Rick (Lura) Agee; nieces Peyton Uhlman, Bethany (Carrie) Rogers, and Kaylee (Jonathan) Wilson; nephews  Jackson Uhlman and Anthony Bishop; and his faithful dog, Joey, whose antics brought him endless joy.

Bob was also deeply loved by his Auburn family of friends, who stood faithfully by Tammy’s side after his passing, offering the same loyalty and devotion that Bob himself gave so freely. A true Auburn man, Bob lived and breathed orange and blue. His life was a reflection of the Auburn Creed — hard work, honesty, education, faith, and the human touch that brought happiness to all who knew him.

His wife would like to thank the “Garage Crew” of Auburn friends who are really family as well as her “McCalla Mafia” girlfriends who immediately came to Auburn and handled everything.  Their presence and support is immeasurable but it’s exactly what Bob knew would happen.  Tammy would be wrapped up in their care when she needed it most.  She is also a true Auburn woman now.  

Bob will be so missed.  Please make any memorials to Chewacla State Park,  Camp: The Central Alabama Mountain Peddlers or to the CARE Humane Society in Lee County.
