John Robb Obituary

John Cal Robb

March 6, 1960 to January 21, 2022

Salt Lake City, Utah - John was born on March 6th, 1960 to John 'Jack' and Dolores Robb. He passed away on January 21st, 2022 after a short battle with stomach cancer.

John loved watching movies, playing games, watching the sunset, fishing, and relaxing with his beloved dog, BooBoo. He was a loving, fun, and goofy Dad to three children, son, brother to five siblings, nephew, uncle, and friend. He was always able to put a smile on your face and had many jokes and stories to make everyone laugh.

John was known to be a "Jack of all Trades". He was a skilled handyman, contractor, mechanic, and more. He was always willing to help anyone in need and would often put others' needs before his own. He was selfless and kind.

John was survived by his son, John 'JC', and daughter, Jacqueline 'Jacquie'. He was preceded in death by his son, Christopher 'Chris' Ray, both of his parents, John 'Jack' and Dolores Robb, and sisters, Jan Davis and Lynn Williams.

John dedicated the last five years to his work and residency at the Inn Between, who also cared for him during his hospice stay and final moments at their facility. He made many friends, some he would consider family including his dog, BooBoo. She remains at the facility with another staff member. -
