Robert (Buddy) Roy Repult Jr.

Robert (Buddy) Roy Repult, 74, of St. Augustine, passed away on Monday, August 25, 2025. Robert was born in Jacksonville, FL March 5th, 1951, to Robert Roy Repult Sr. and Sue C. Nettles. Robert was a hands-on learner who left school in 10th grade to pursue the workforce. One of his first jobs was at the Jacksonville Fire Dept., cutting grass and working on vehicles. He later worked at Anchor Hawkins, where he worked making glass. His last and favorite job was working for the late Jimmy Young at Young's Masonry. He was very knowledgeable and skillful and could build any structure from the ground up. Robert met the love of his life, Kathryn Marie Littleton, in Jacksonville at Lake Forest in 1969 at a drive-thru. Robert was in a yellow car with a black stripe, Kathy remembers it looking like a bumblebee. From that moment forward, it was love at first sight. Robert knew Kathy was his one and only true love. Excited to start their new lives together, the two were married on November 5, 1970. Robert was a devoted and loving father to Robert III (Linda), Bryan (Marlena), and Heather (Joseph), who dearly miss him and the life lessons he imparted to them. His biggest ask of his children was “always love each other”. Robert was blessed with many grandchildren: Robert (Chrissy), Justin, Bryanne (Peyton), Katie (Brandon), Sarah (Colton), Brooke (Tyler), Alyssa (Colby), Allison, and Hunter. Great-grandchildren: Robert, Annaka, Bryton, Brant, Angelina, Bryson, Isabella, Branson, Kingston, Ryleigh, and Sawyer. Robert was also blessed with bonus grand and great-grandchildren: Ronnie (Danielle)- Destinee, Rissa; James (Jenny)- JD. Everyone who knew Robert knew he enjoyed the outdoors. His true passions were hog hunting and fishing. There were not too many hogs in North Florida that Robert had not caught. Being an avid houndsman, Robert had many four-legged friends throughout his lifetime. His best dog he ever owned was Jack, a lemon and white hound. Robert and Jack were a force to be reckoned with, as they caught numerous hogs together. He enjoyed hog hunting with his friends and his boys, both Robert III and Bryan. He had more hunting stories than you could shake a stick at, he loved to share them with his grandkids. Robert was always a good fisherman, catching many giant largemouth bass. In Robert’s later years when he was not as mobile, he enjoyed when his grandson Peyton would pick him up and take him on the water blue crabbing and cast netting. Robert had numerous friends and a few very good friends with whom he was practically inseparable with throughout his life. Some he even considered as his brother. Robert was preceded in death by both his father and mother, and is survived by his loving wife Kathy, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and his most loyal four leg companion, Monkey. There will be a celebration of life on September 27th, 2025, at 4:00 pm. at 9430 US 1 S, St. Augustine, FL 32086. In lieu of flowers, Robert’s family just asks that you spend as much time as you can with your family, get outdoors and enjoy the woods.
