Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Robert Wesley “Robby” Stevens, age 70, of Vero Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on September 14, 2026, after a short illness.
Robby was born on April 16, 1956, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Richard and Beverly Stevens (Uncle Dick and Aunt Betty). The family moved to Vero Beach, Florida in 1961 and founded Life For Youth Camp. Robby’s life became deeply intertwined with Life for Youth Camp, where he grew up working and eventually became the Director along with his wife Sherri.
Robby wore many hats throughout his years at camp—ministering to children, lifeguarding, directing the horse program, driving boats, fixing just about anything as the camp mechanic, driving buses, running sound, tooling around in golf carts, flipping pancakes, and so much more. But more than any title or job, Robby was someone who loved people and found countless ways to serve them.
Life for Youth Camp was more than a place where Robby worked; it was a huge part of who he was. Through the years, he touched the lives of countless campers, families, and staff. His dedication, humor, willingness to help, and heart for serving others left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Robby was preceded in death by his parents, Richard Charles Stevens and Beverly Stevens.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Sherri Stevens (48 years); his brother, Richard C. Stevens Jr.; his children, Stephanie Stenger (Andy) and Bobby Stevens (Jamie); his niece, Chrissy Rogers (Brendan); and his many beloved grandchildren: Jacob McCoy, Kyle Stenger (Kaitlyn), Braden Rogers, Grady Kovaleski, Wesley Stevens, Hadley Kovaleski, Seylah Stenger, Jackson Kovaleski, Dalton Stenger, Michael Stevens, Lydia Stevens, Sadie Rogers, and William Rogers.
He was also blessed with three great-grandchildren, Evangelyn Stenger, Amelia Stenger, and Joseph Stenger, who brought additional joy and love to his life.
Robby will be remembered for his servant’s heart, his love for children, his dedication to Life for Youth Camp, and the many lives he touched throughout his years. His legacy will live on through his family, the people he mentored, and the countless memories made along the way.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Central Assembly, 6767 20th Street, Vero Beach, FL 32966, on October 18, 2026, at 3:00pm.
A private gathering will be held for family following the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Foundations for the Future at Central Assembly in Robby’s memory. Checks can be made and mailed to Central Assembly 6767 20th St Vero beach, Fl 32966. Memo: In Memory of Robby Stevens

Steven’s family, We considered it a blessing and an honor to serve have had the joy to serve with your family at Life for Youth, and be a part of your family at Central throughout our many years together. We will miss Robby and thank God we know he is with our Heavens Father waiting for us all. We have peace that we all will be joined together again rejoicing with Jesus one day. Heaven is more beautiful today and even though our hearts are heavy over our loss, our souls rejoice with you that Robby is at peace, at home reunited with God and his mom and dad. He heard those beautiful words, well done good and faithful servant. May God hold you as you grieve his loss and bring to your memories all of the beautiful memories his love, laughter and life gave to all of us throughout his life. He will never be forgotten.

Words cannot describe how I feel over the loss of my little brother. We followed our own paths in life but were always there for each other, as brothers. I love you Robby. Say hello to the others in heaven, who have gone before us, you are now FREE! I will never forget you, or the good times we shared. With love your brother Ricky.

“Servant’s heart” is precisely the way I remember Robby after 5 summers at camp, three of which were a part of the year-round staff at LFYR. Our deepest condolences to the Stevens family and so thankful for the hope of being with Jesus.

Dearest Sherri and family, I know the peace of God that passes all understanding will guard your minds and your hearts in Christ Jesus! Robbie’s journey on this Earth may have ended and there will be that deep ache this side of heaven. Robby lives now in the heavenly realms. My fondest memory of Robby, was the day Stephanie was born. When he returned to the barn, the glorious Wonder of receiving his daughter into the Earth was so evident on his face and his whole demeanor. That was a glorious day!!! I also remember the wonderful day Sherri you and Rob were United in marriage.
