Robert Beaver Obituary
Robert proudly served his country for 11 years in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he continued his dedication to public service as a postal worker in Portland, Oregon.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Diana Perry.
Robert is lovingly remembered by his wife, Kelly Beaver; his son, Warren H. Beaver and wife Kaylee; his daughter, Vanessa Weaver and husband Josh; and three cherished granddaughters: Valerie, Madison, and Amber. He is also survived by his sister, Nanci Jackson and her husband Norm; two step-children, Randall Mitts (Linda) and Lindsey Smith (Ian); and six step-grandchildren.
In his younger years, Robert had a passion for racing and restoring muscle cars-a hobby that brought him great joy and excitement. More recently, he found satisfaction in working outdoors with his Kabota tractor, always eager to see what could be moved or landscaped next.
A service to honor Robert's life will be determined at a later date.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved him.

Dear Robert,
Words cannot fully capture the sorrow I feel at your passing. You were my first love, a chapter of my life filled with youthful dreams and cherished memories. We were so young when we met, and our journey together, including those four years in Germany with the Air Force, shaped so much of who I am. Together, we brought our two incredible children into the world, and they remain a beautiful testament to the bond we shared. I am forever grateful for the legacy of our grandchildren.
My heart aches for your loss, but I find comfort in knowing you touched so many lives with your warmth and spirit. To your widow and family, I extend my deepest condolences and respect, grateful for the love and care you shared with Robert in his later years. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
With love and remembrance,
Sheila

His infectious smile will stay in my heart forever. He always made silly jokes and loved to make the people he loved laugh He also loved his tractor and oh my, every possible accessory for it, he had! The thing he always engraved in my head was, "Don't be scared, be prepared " he always wanted everyone to be ready for any scenario. Dad just always wanted us all safe and taken care of. He had a heart of gold.
