Robert Comer Obituary

Robert Clair Comer, 66, of Lake Stevens, Wash., passed away April 22, 2015, doing what he loved – golfing. Born in New Rockford, N.D., January 24, 1949, Bob was raised in Cathcart, Wash. He married Geraldine (Geno) Olson a year after graduating from Snohomish High School in 1967 and settled in Lake Stevens. Bob owned and operated Puget Heating in Lake Stevens. He lived his life to the fullest, enjoying fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, boating, golfing, and spending time with family and friends. A dedicated and devoted husband and father, Bob was well-known for his rowdy sense of humor and restless enthusiasm for living. Beneath his salty exterior lay a golden heart. No one was more generous. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Virgil and Lillian Comer; son, Jimmy Comer; sister, Janice Preheim and brother, Delmar Comer. He is survived by his wife Geno; daughter, Lisa and son-in-law, Brad Wahlberg; daughter, Krissy and son-in-law, Ron Kesti; daughter-in-law, Stefanie Iblings; grandchildren, Jordan, Dakota, Montana, Isaiah, Wyatt, Maquinna, Natalie, and Andrew; great-grandchild Claire; brothers, Dean and Wayne Comer; sisters Jaylean Forshee and Pat Johnson; many nieces, nephews, and countless friends. A memorial service will be held at Bethany Christian Assembly, Everett, April 28, 2015 at 1 p.m. Those attending are asked to bring a golf ball signed with their name and a farewell message for Bob.

Even though it has been some time since I have seen Bob, his passing still leaves a deep sadness in my heart. I have many fond memories of good times long ago spent with Bob, and later with Bob and his family while living near them in Lake Stevens. Bob was an awesome, kind, and a generous man, and his awesomeness will live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him. So long old friend! My prayer is that God hold the hands of his family and loved ones until we meet again.
