ROBERT C WEST PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY AT THE BRICKYARD GOLDEN RULE SENIOR LIVING FACILITY WITH HIS SISTER JANICE BY HIS SIDE. BOB WAS BORN IN RICHMOND INDIANA AND LIVED IN THE RICHMOND AREA, INCLUDING LIBERTY, FAIRFIELD, AND GREENSFORK DURING HIS CHILDHOOD LIFE. LATER IN LIFE, BOB MOVED TO THE PHOENIX, AZ AREA, THEN ON TO THE DENVER CO AREA. HE LOVED THE COLORADO ROCKY MOUNTAINS. HE WORKED AS A MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR FOR THE CHARLES SCHWAB COMPANY IN DENVER PRIOR TO RETIREMENT. AFTER RETIREMENT HE RETURNED TO RICHMOND TO BE WITH FAMILY.

BOB WAS AN ADVENTUROUS AND PRETTY MUCH A LONER IN LIFE AND LOVED HIS SOLITUDE. HE LOVED ANIMALS ESPECIALLY DOGS. HE WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY WHEN HIS GRANDOGGIE HERSHEY CAME TO VISIT. A COUPLE OF OTHER DOGS THAT VISIT WERE FINN AND DAISY. HE ENJOYED GOING DEEP INTO THE COLORADO WILDERNESS WITH HIS SONS BRIAN & TROY, BACKPACK CAMPING. ANOTHER ENJOYMENT IN LIFE WAS HIS DAILY DIP OF COPENHAGEN CHEW. METAL-DETECTING, GUN, AND KNIFE COLLECTING, COOKING, AND FISHING WERE HIS FAVORITE HOBBIES.

BOB WAS SURVIVED BY HIS SON BRIAN WEST, SISTER, JANICE FRAZIER WEST, BROTHER RON WEST - AKA, BIG CHIEF, AND SISTER-IN-LAW KEY WEST, 6 GRANDCHILDREN AND 3 GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, SEVERAL NEICES, AND NEPHEWS. ALSO, HE WAS SURVIVED BY HIS LIFELONG BEST FRIENDS, WAYNE & CAROLYN SMITH. BOB WAS PRECEDED IN DEATH BY THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE AND MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN, BONNIE JEAN, SON, ALLEN TROY WEST, DAUGHTER TEANNA FAYE WEST, AND PARENTS, THE REVEREND CECIL & FRANCES WEST.

THERE WILL BE NO PUBLIC CALLING. PRIVATE BURIAL WILL BE HELD AT A LATER DATE BY FAMILY. STEGALL-BEHEIDE-ORR FUNERAL HOME IS HANDLING THE ARRANGEMENTS.
