Robert Ramon Rodenwald, age 56, of West Duluth, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2026. He was born on July 14, 1969, in Duluth, Minnesota.
Robert—known to many as Bob—worked for many years in the auto body field, where he was respected for his skills and strong work ethic. He later devoted much of his time to maintaining and improving his rental properties; a pursuit he took great pride in.
Bob loved hunting and fishing. He enjoyed staying busy, especially when working with his hands. He was known for his independence, dedication, loyalty, and kindness to those close to him.
He is survived by his very close friend, Catherine “Cat” Wyatt and his parents, Raymond, and Virginia Rodenwald, of Duluth, Minnesota. He is also survived by his siblings: Katherine (Brian) Hawkins of Mauston, Wisconsin; Ronald (Cynthia) Rodenwald of St. Cloud, Minnesota; Elizabeth (James) Swanson of Buffalo, Minnesota; and Richard Rodenwald (Dawn Kohl) of Duluth, Minnesota.
Bob is further survived by many nieces and nephews, as well as a longtime friend, Scott Hartwick.
Bob will be deeply missed by many who knew and cared deeply for him.
600 E. Second Street, Duluth, MN 55805
