Robert (Bob) J BeBault 4/12/1945 - 3/11/2026Age 80Albuquerque, New MexicoRobert (Bob) J. BeBault, 80, passed away on March 11, 2026, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Born on April 12, 1945, in Waterbury, Connecticut, Bob lived a life defined by hard work and resilience.Bob's career was as diverse as it was industrious. In his early twenties, he stepped into the ring as a street boxer. Over the years, he became a true jack of all trades. He worked on the railroad, removing tracks for repurposing and serving as a security guard. As an independent interstate truck driver, he navigated countless miles across the country. His contributions to agriculture were vast-managing a poultry farm, raising cows, pigs, and horses, and working on a dairy farm. Bob also played a significant role in equine care as a stud handler for horse breeding operations and delivered foals whilemanaging horse boarding stables.Despite having no formal education, Bob's determination and work ethic ensured that there was always food on the table for his family. His hands-on approach to life and his ability to adapt to any challenge made him a pillar of strength for those around him.Bob was known for his directness and take-charge attitude. His loud and vociferous nature was balanced by his sharp sense of humor, which brought comfort and laughter to friends and strangers alike. Whether helping someone in need or sharing a joke to lighten the mood, Bob had an innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life.He is survived by his daughter Barbara A. Larrabee and his son Daniel L. BeBault. He was predeceased by his wife Ann A. BeBault and his son Robert J. BeBault Jr. Bob's legacy is one of hard work, humor, and generosity-a testament to a life well lived. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
