September 22, 1949 – June 19, 2025
Robert K. Kishita passed away peacefully on June 19, 2025. Born and raised in Los Angeles, where he spent the majority of his life and where he quietly dedicated himself to public service and his professional pursuits.
He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Kishita Sr.; mother, Florence Kishita; and brother, Richard Kishita. Robert is survived by his sisters, Linda Kishita and Karen Kishita. He also leaves behind a wide circle of friends and colleagues who held him in the highest regard.
Robert’s personal and professional journey included a shared life with his ex-wife, Irene, who remained a compassionate presence and supporter to the end. His career in public service took root at the City of San Fernando, where his colleagues remember him as a dedicated, thoughtful, and caring coworker. Later in his career, Robert took on a leadership role at MDG/LDM Associates, where he was respected as a mentor and friend, always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear.
In accordance with Robert’s wishes, there will be no services or celebration of life. We kindly ask that you remember him in your own loving way.
