Bob spent most of his childhood in Holladay, UT, the second of five children. This is where he started his lifelong love of music and played guitar in a rock band. He later taught himself to play the piano and would spend much of his free time playing at home. In fact, whenever his children couldn’t find him after church, the first place to look was the chapel because he liked playing the piano in there for the acoustics.

Bob gained his testimony in his early teen years and lived valiantly his entire life. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Idaho and Oregon. His life was filled with many trials, but despite them all, he never lost his faith in Christ and remained a true and faithful servant to the end.

Bob was sealed for time and all eternity to the love of his life and late wife, Vicki. They are survived by their five children, Brandon, Aaron, Jason, Cami, and Jonathan, who all take comfort in knowing that their parents are finally reunited. Bob was a very loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He will be missed by his 18 grandchildren, 4 siblings, many nieces and nephews, and friends he made throughout his life.
