Robert "Bob" Lang Sr., a cherished resident of Lakewood, Colorado, passed away peacefully in July 2025 at the age of 86, surrounded by the love of his devoted wife, Lisa Lang.
Born on June 4, 1938, in Denver, Colorado, Bob spent over 50 years in the same home, a testament to his deep roots in the community. He graduated from North High School in 1954, and shortly thereafter, he answered the call of duty by joining the U.S. Army, where he served honorably until his discharge.
Bob dedicated 35 years of his life to his career as a machinist, demonstrating an unwavering work ethic that was evident in all he did. Even in his leisure time, he found joy in delivering newspapers and repairing brakes, always eager to lend a helping hand.
Beyond his professional life, Bob was a man of diverse interests and passions. He found joy in the great outdoors, whether it was hunting, fishing, golfing, or water skiing. His vibrant energy, generous spirit, and infectious sense of humor left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Bob was a hard working family man and family was at the heart of Bob's life. He is survived by his beloved wife, Lisa; his daughter, Lora Lang of Lakewood; and his sons, Bobby Lang (Elisha) of Roxborough; and Robert (June) VanFossen of Centennial. He took great pride in his grandchildren, Jayce Connelly of Lakewood, Jeritreigh Lang of Lakewood, Eric Moffett or Florida, and Ashton VanFossen of Florida; and his great-grandchildren, Erica Moffett of Florida, Noelle VanFossen of Florida, and man more family who brought him immense joy. Bob is also survived by many other loving family members who will carry his memory forward.
He was preceded in death by his son, Josh Lang; his parents, Lee and Violet Lang; his brothers, Roy and Herb Lang; his sister, Beverly Lang; his great-niece, Tanya; and many other cherished family members and friends.
Bob Lang Sr. will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for his kindness, laughter, and the love he shared with those around him. His legacy of hard work, passion for life, and devotion to family will continue to inspire all who knew him.
