Robert "Bob" Schmidt Jr., aged 64, passed away on August 3, 2024, in Ogden, Utah after his fight with Stage 4 Cancer.

Born on September 15, 1959, in Ely, Nevada, Bob was a spirited and jovial presence, known for his kindness, humor, and generosity. He graduated from White Pine High School in 1977, where he was proudly part of the "BOBCATS."

Bob dedicated 40 years to Smith's Grocery in the Frozen Foods department, where his impeccable work ethic and willingness to help others made him a beloved colleague. He was a believer in the Christian faith, who would often turn to the Bible.

Bob's life was rich with hobbies. He was an avid football fan, enjoyed singing karaoke, and had a passion for collecting diecast cars and assembling intricate puzzles. His love for card games (especially Canasta), coloring, and watching wrestling, were only surpassed by the joy he found in spending time with his family.

He is survived by his mother, Mary Schmidt; daughters, Jamie Jacobson, Lindsay Favatella and Rhiannon Chavez; siblings, Tami Katz and Scott Schmidt; eleven grandchildren, and many loving family members. He is preceded in death by his father, Robert Schmidt, Sr., and grandson, Aiden McPherson.

A viewing for the immediate family will be held on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, 6pm-8pm and a Memorial service to celebrate Bob's life will be held at Larkin Sunset Gardens in Sandy, Utah on Friday, August 16, 2024, 10am-12pm.

Bob's Legacy of laughter, compassion and community will be deeply missed by all who knew him; his spirit will continue to live on through the lives he touched.
