Robert Edwards – May 21, 2017

 

Robert Edwards
February 7, 1950 – May 21, 2017

Robert Edwards passed away from this life with family by his side due to complications from an illness.

Bob was born in Oroville, CA to John Edwards and Mary Bradford Edwards. He was a long time resident of Lassen County moving here at age 11, and never wanting to live anywhere else.

After graduating from Lassen High School in 1968, he enlisted in the Army and served his country in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne. Bob returned home in 1971 with a Bronze Star, Army Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal, and Vietnam Service and Campaign Medals.

He worked for Sierra Pacific Industries as a Head Rig Sawyer and as Sawmill Foreman. He also worked for Baldwin Construction and Larimer-Surian Construction until he retired.

Bob’s passion was the outdoors. He took every chance he could to go hunting, fishing, shooting, or simply to cruise his truck down long backroads, enjoying the wildlife while taking note of each dry lodgepole pine that would make for the best firewood. When he was at home, he could be found working in his shop – tying jigs, reloading ammunition, or picking a tune on his old guitar.

Bob is survived by his loving wife, Dottie of almost 45 years and his daughter Carla (Cliff) Arnold of Kuna, Idaho. He was Papa to Trever, Trace, and Bailey Arnold also of Kuna Idaho.

He is also survived by brothers, Ray (Jennifer) Flowers of Herlong, CA and Carl Ed Flowers of Sparks, NV; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial will be held at a later date.

Why Pre-plan?

Thinking about your own funeral leaves most people feeling a little uneasy, but more adults are finding that pre-planning a funeral offers great emotional and even financial security for them and their families. With pre-planning, families find comfort in knowing that the funeral reflects what their loved one wanted. It also gives them peace of mind to not have to make important decisions at a stressful time. Click here to visit Walton’s Funeral Home
