Robert Eldon Feuerbach, our husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend, passed away in the early morning of March 18, 2019, when that great big heart of his stopped beating.
He was born Aug. 31, 1943, to Eldon Herman Feuerbach and Mavis Joyce Smith in Ballarat Victoria, Australia. He was married to Cheryl Marie Goins on Sept. 3, 1965, and together they had two sons, Robert Michel (Jenny Lynn Warr) and Richard Lyle, who were his best friends. He managed the Chevron in Tooele and worked there since 1971. He could be gruff and intimidating but he was just a big old Teddy Bear. Growled a lot but didn’t bite very often. He was always there when someone needed him no matter what day or time.
He served his country in the United States Air Force until he was medically discharged.
He loved hunting and guns and was happiest in the great outdoors taking in all of God’s splendor or with his granddaughters; Alyssa Warr, Megan (Brenden) Tischner, Makayla Witkowski and Alison Witkowski; and great-grandson, Hayden Tischner. And we can’t forget his special relationship he had with son Rich’s dog, Oly, who would ride with him to the bank when he made deposits and Oly would get treats from the employees at the bank.
He is survived by his wife; sons; grandchildren; and sisters, Ronda Bogart, RaNay Rudie, and Rayna (Tony) Rogerson.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Roger; sister, Robyn; and daughter-in-law, Jenny.
As per Robert’s wishes his body has been donated and there will be no formal funeral. Robert will be teaching others for the next six months to two years with his donation. Upon the return of his ashes there will be a memorial service at that time.
In lieu of flowers the family would like to ask that donations be made to the charity of your personal choosing in Robert’s name, and that when you think of him, do something kind for someone. That will make him smile and make the world a better place.
