Robert Ray Boren

1945 ~ 2025

Robert Ray Boren, age 80, of Hurricane, Utah passed away Tuesday morning Nov. 25, 2025, in St. George Regional Hospital. He was born February 20, 1945, in American Fork, Utah the son of Lamar and Myrle Boren.

Bob grew up in American Fork and graduated from American Fork High School. He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force before attending Brigham Young University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Bob used his degree in the aerospace industry contributing to the F-16 fighter jet and the MX missile system. He turned his sharp mind to the emerging field of robotics – an exciting new chapter that also sparked a love of writing. Several of his articles on robotics were published in Robotics Magazine.

Bob had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and was often found reading and studying history. He loved camping and hiking in the great outdoors where he could share the things he read about with his family. He faced Multiple Myeloma with a characteristic quiet strength defying the odds to enjoy 18 precious years in remission. Oh, did he enjoy those years with a fervor for road biking. If he could steal a 30–40 mile ride, his whole day brightened and everything in the world seemed just as it should be. Another favorite past time was hiking and exploring with his dear wife while capturing beautiful scenes of Southern Utah.

Bob was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, steadfast in his love of the gospel and the Book of Mormon, and unwavering in his testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Bob is survived and deeply missed by his loving wife, Treina, of 57 years and his children, Travis, Cody, Stacey and Patricia (Trish). Forever cherished by his ten grandkids Lindsay, Dylan, Jacob, Riley, Blaze, Jacob, Joseph, Ryan, Robby and Lia.
