Robert Bixby Obituary

Robert John "Rob" Bixby, 91, of Fruitland, Idaho, passed away on January 13, 2026, at the Cottages in Payette, Idaho. Leaving behind a bag of treasured memories.
Born May 8, 1934, in Nichols, Iowa, to Glen and Helen Bixby, Rob moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1972, where he met and married Sue Vaughn Lloyd. They shared 52 happy years together before retiring to Fruitland, Idaho, in 1995.
Rob retired from Caesars Palace after 17 years as Paint Shop Foreman. He enjoyed water and snow skiing, restoring cars and trucks, building motorized bicycles, dancing, and playing the harmonica.
He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, and two sisters. Rob is survived by his wife, Sue; four sons, Gary, Brian, Talbot, and Randy Lloyd; one brother, William; seven grandchildren; and nine great- grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
