Robert Daig Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 22, 2024.
Robert Lee "Bob" Daig, aged 73, passed away on August 20, 2024, in Saginaw, MI. Born on March 8, 1951, in Flint, MI, to the late Albert and Mary Daig, Bob was a lifelong resident of Michigan and a dedicated family man.

Bob served honorably in the Air Force from 1969 to 1971, a period during which he developed a strong sense of duty that he carried throughout his life. After his military service, he embarked on a career as an appliance repairman, a role he filled with diligence and skill.

Bob was a devoted husband to his wife, Tammy, and a loving father to his sons, Brandon (Michele), Adam (fiancée Melissa Chinevere), Robert II, and Marcus. He also cherished his role as a grandfather to Cameron, Taylor, Micah, and Brynley.

Known for his love of Michigan sports teams, including the Wolverines, Lions, Tigers, and Red Wings, Bob's passion was evident to all who knew him. He also enjoyed coaching t-ball, playing golf, and engaging in model railroading, hobbies that reflected his diverse interests and active lifestyle.

A celebration of life will be held on September 14, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Fox Glen Clubhouse. Attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite Michigan team shirt in honor of Bob's love for all Michigan teams.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Compassus Hospice Care, an organization that was dear to Bob.

Fischer Family Funeral Services of Saginaw, MI is assisting the family with arrangements.

I was fortunate to have met Bob in 1982, when I was presenting a Technician training program introducing Whirlpools new designed direct drive washer at a Holiday Inn conference room in Saginaw, Michigan. For what ever reason, we clicked and became lifelong friends. When ever I was in the area, I would stop by and visit.

I was also fortunate to have met his lovely wife Tammy. She was always so supportive, and for obvious reasons had an amazing and entertaining sense of humor.

Now that I am retired, and living in Utah, it's not likely that I will ever get back to see Tammy. I will, however, always cherish the memories that I hold dearly in my heart of both Bob and Tammy.

My sincere condolences and prayers to you and your family.

Love always,
Dan Kelley
