Robert was born in Des Moines, IA, to Wesley and Margaret Six. He spent many years in Des Moines until moving to Mitchellville IA. He was a proud vet – he joined the Air Force in 1983 and after 4 years with them spent 2 years with the Iowa Army Guard. Robert moved with his wife Beverley from Des Moines, IA to Burnsville, MN and then to Gastonia, NC.
He truly loved his family and loved spending time with his grandchildren – Noah Edwards, Ella Six, Olivia Hartl, Greyson Hartl, Edric Six, Leeiam Six, and Maverick Hogan.
Throughout his life, Bob had a passion for all kinds of music - loved attending concerts, playing his many guitars, and riding his motorcycles as well as attending Carolina Panthers football games. He loved his pets Eli, Jake, and his many chickens. He loved to travel and spent many days in England visiting his wife's side of the family, Portugal, Majorca, Jamaica, Bahamas. He was a fun-loving guy who loved meeting people and had a quirky sense of humor.
Bob is survived by his wife Beverley. His sisters Kimberly Boyd (Fort Walton Beach, FL) and Cynthia Silver (Richard Silver both of Mitchellville, IA). His children Shawna Edwards (Pleasant Hill, IA), David McQueen (wife Brittany McQueen both of Greenville, NC), Kerri Edwards (Altoona, IA), Tiffany Six (Washington, NC) & James Six (Gastonia, NC), and many nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.
Bob was very strong with his faith with God and welcoming him into God's Garden are his parents Wesley & Margaret Six (Mitchellville, IA). His in-laws Dennis & June Legge (Feltwell, England), his brothers-in-law Daniel Boyd and James Sammons, and his grandparents.
We will forever cherish the love, laughter, and beautiful moments we shared with Bob. His spirit will continue to live on in our hearts.
