Robert Lee Sand

Robert Lee Sand "Bob", age 45, passed away May 4, 2024, in Gardner, Kansas, with his wife Brandi by his side and his loyal dog Axle. Bob battled bravely with Glioblastoma (brain cancer) since diagnosis on December 21, 2022.
Bob was born in Wichita, Kansas, to Renee LaCour, on December 18, 1978. His dad, Christopher Sand, chose Bob to be his son just a few years later.
Bob loved God, his wife, his children, his large extended family, his many good friends, and his work family. Bob enjoyed doing fun, new things with his family. He was a dedicated baseball coach to Brayden, and all the kids in sports with endless hours of playing catch. Bob enjoyed his daughter's gymnastic meets, and father-daughter dances. Bob was a hobby enthusiast of RC cars and he loved to race them. He also loved fishing and professional sports, Raiders (Brooklynn follows) and Chiefs (Brayden's team), as well as KU basketball, football, and baseball. Bob was never sitting still. He was constantly doing projects to improve his home, and willing to help anyone. He was very talented, a "jack of all trades". Bob was an irrigation specialist for over 25 years and he was very dedicated to his work, the last 10 years being at EPIC Landscape Productions.
