Robert Anderson Obituary

Robert Anderson
June 4, 1939 - January 11, 2026
Robert 'Bob' Allen Anderson
June 4, 1939- January 11, 2026 (86)
Bob was born on June 4, 1939, in Payette, ID to Raymond Arthur Anderson and Mary Lee Anderson (Cheek). Later, they moved to Washington where he graduated from High School in 1957. He found his way back to Payette where he worked pridefully for the City of Payette in the water department for 41 years. The relationships built during this time were near to his heart and talked about often.
Bob met his beautiful wife, Juanita, and married her on June 12, 1976. Together they raised two children, Tammi and Steven. When Bob was not working, you could find him taking his family on many memorable hunting and fishing trips. He loved to go fishing from Payette to Oregon, all the way to Canada and everywhere in between. Tying his own flies for fly fishing was another hobby he enjoyed.
Bob is survived by his son, Steven (Katie) Anderson; daughter, and Tammi (D.J.) Clapp. He is also survived by his five grandchildren: Cole Anderson, Natalie Anderson, Dean Anderson, Jameson Anderson, and Jenson Anderson, all of Payette.
Bob will be dearly missed by all who have crossed his path. His friendliness and patience towards all he has met, along with his hard working nature, will never be forgotten. "You're legacy lives in the kindness you taught us."
May Robert and Juanita rest in peace, together, for all of eternity.
