Robert “Bob” David Meadows, age 70, passed away on December 9, 2025, at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on November 7, 1955, in Princeton, West Virginia, to the late Lonnie and Phyllis (Hogue) Meadows.
Bob lived a life shaped by curiosity, discipline, and deep devotion to the people he loved. He enjoyed quiet moments with sudoku and crossword puzzles, but his greatest passion was Karate. As a proud grandmaster of Tae Kwon Do, he found not just purpose, but lifelong relationships, including meeting the love of his life, Veta. His faith was the foundation of his days, and he was a loyal and dedicated member of the Pickerington Church of Christ. Above all, Bob was a family man; nothing brought him more joy than being “Grandpa,” a role he cherished wholeheartedly.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Brian Meadows, and his brother, Keith Meadows.
Bob is survived by his loving wife of 21 years, Veta (Miller) Meadows; his sons, John (Rachel) Meadows and Lonnie (Camille) Meadows; and his beloved grandchildren, Adam, Andrew, Charlie, and Gianna, who were each a tremendous source of pride and happiness. Along with the beloved Free Spirit Karate Club family.
