Robert Edwards Obituary

Robert Jensen Edwards 1951 - 2011 Bob left us on April 2, 2011 at a Boise hospital. He was born on July 9, 1951 in Twin Fall Id. His family moved to Boise in 1952 where he grew up and returned through out his life. His love of coastal Washington State called him back there repeatedly. Bob was charming and generous with his time and possessions. He always had good advice and was happy to share it. Anyone who met Bob knew him as a good hearted jokester and a fun-loving person. He was preceded in death by his parents Ralph and Eleanor. He is survived by his children, Kelsey of Boise and Cody of Chandler AZ., his wife of 16 years, Marcia, and his sister Anne Kekaula of Kailua-Kona, HI. The Edwards have many friends who were fortunate to have known Bob and will miss his laughter. In life, he surrounded himself with good times and music. Those he loved and those who loved him will keep a part of him with us and remember his good humor.

Bob, you were like a dad to me. I don't know how I would have made through some trying times in my life if you weren't there to listen, give advice and make me laugh. I'll miss you always.

Marcia, I love you and I know you are hurting with Bob gone. You know he will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you when you might have needed me. I like to think Bob was helping to teach me a little some'in' some'in'! I'm so happy the two of you were fortunate to spend all the time together that you did. Remember, Bob loves you no matter where he is - here with us or there where it's 5:00 all the time! Love, Katy
