Bob Gardner

1941 - 2025

Born on August 2, 1941, Bob grew up on a ranch and carried the values of hard work and dedication throughout his life. He graduated from Northern Arizona University and went on to serve in the Army National Guard. His professional journey was as diverse as it was accomplished-he mined flagstone near Ashfork, worked as Assistant Manager at the NAU bookstore, and later founded his own accounting and business management firm.
Bob was a devoted member of Bridge Church Flagstaff and found joy in both his faith and community. He was known for being understanding, sweet, and always willing to lend a helping hand.
He is survived by his beloved wife Jo Ann; his son Todd; daughter-in-law Jessie; his sister Bernice Gardner, and a host of life long friends.
A man of many interests, Bob was an artist at heart who enjoyed painting, gardening and listening to classical music. Bob and his late brother Chuck also shared a lifelong love for beautiful cars.
Bob's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. May his legacy bring comfort and inspiration to all whose lives he touched.
Family will scatter Bob's ashes and a private celebration of life will take place per his wishes.
