Mr. Robert Eugene Pena, 57 of Lewiston, Michigan died on June 11, 2022 surrounded by the love of his family after fighting a courageous battle with cancer.

He enjoyed a variety of hobbies including watching NASCAR, fishing, wrestling, football, and rides on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Robert was a very strong, social man and loved to visit with friends and family. He was a gypsy at heart and loved traveling.
