Rob is preceded in death by his parents Grant and Tillie Ziemer, and father in law Richard Evans.
At a young age Rob became a motorcycle enthusiast. He rode Harleys and lived his life as a biker, riding many miles with family and lifelong friends. He built, restored, and painted many bikes and cars and made a living doing what he loved. Rob's love for the road turned into driving truck. He owned his own trucks and logged over a million miles trucking around the United States. He was a true "Chicken Hauler".
After the passing of his father, Rob decided to come home and stay. Rob and Toni took over her family's business, D&J Foods and together they succeeded at owning and operating DJ Pilgrim Market and EZ Mart.
Rob loved life, loved his wife and family very much. His generosity to the community always shined as he appreciated every customer that walked through the door. Rob also served on the Senior Citizens Board in New Plymouth where he always gave a helping hand.
