Robert “Bob” Eugene Brinkman of Arvada passed away peacefully November 30, 2025 at the age of 70. He was a beloved Husband, Dad, Papa, Brother, Brother in Law, Uncle and Friend. He loved his whole big family soooooo much and was happiest spending time with them no matter what they were doing.
He was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado on December 4, 1954 to Charles and Beverly Brinkman. Later he was joined by an awesome brother, Bruce. He attended Lake Junior High and graduated from North High School in Denver.
In 1979, he met the love of his life, Kathy, and quickly became the love of her life forever. From the beginning, their family's joined together and celebrated everything together as one big family. Bob and Kathy were blessed with two amazing children, Michael and Lori (Rick). They were later blessed with two amazing grandchildren, Abbey and Maddie.
As a native Coloradan, he loved camping, fishing, boating and water skiing. He loved listening to and playing music, concerts and computers. He delivered milk for Sinton Dairy and goods nationally, but his passion from the early 1980s was computers and IT. He changed professions and enjoyed everything computer related. He taught and fixed computers for many family members and friends and enjoyed learning all the new changes in the industry.
Bob was an avid sports fan of the Broncos followed by the Avs and Rockies. He enjoyed the kid's games and played first base on numerous softball teams. He was an animal lover (a love he shared with his kids and grandkids) and had numerous dogs, cats, and other pets over the years. He was often referred to as "Hun" or a big kind Teddy bear. He is loved so much and will be missed so much.
