Robert

Zlobec

Robert S. Zlobec passed away peacefully at his home in Sag Harbor, New York, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by the place he loved most.

He is survived by his son, Randy Zlobec; his stepson, Sean Kinney; and his sister, Nancy Zlobec Plath. He was predeceased by his wife, Kerry McGill, who also lost her life to cancer several years ago.

Robert was a well-known and familiar presence in Sag Harbor. He was known for his generous heart and his willingness to help anyone in need, often giving without a second thought. He truly lived life on his own terms and was often seen "lapping" around town, something many will remember him for.

He had a deep love for animals and could be found feeding the ducks in the village every morning, a quiet ritual that reflected his kind and caring nature. He especially loved his cats, JennA and Ditsy Doodle, who were a constant source of comfort and companionship.

A hardworking man, Robert had a passion for lifted trucks, fast cars, and motorcycles. He loved life, valued freedom, and found joy in the simple things. More than anything, he will be remembered as a kind soul who made people feel welcome, seen, and cared for.

A Celebration of Life will be held on May 30, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Havens Beach in Sag Harbor, New York. All who knew and loved Robert are welcome to attend.

A part of me went with you. I will carry you with me always.
— Randy Zlobec
