Robert Wayne Strauser

Robert Wayne Strauser was born on July 3, 1961, in Oakland, California to Kenton and Jeannette Strauser. He passed away peacefully at home on December 9, 2024, in Nampa, Idaho.
Bob spent most of his life in the Boise, Idaho area graduating from Borah High School in 1980. While in high school, Bob met the love of his life, Annette Slaathaug. They were married on June 23, 1984, and had a loving partnership that spanned more than four decades. Together, they built a life filled with shared memories and enduring love.
He graduated from Boise State University in 1994 and dedicated his professional life to teaching, a career that reflected his passion for education and commitment to shaping young minds. Bob loved being a teacher and coach. It gave him the greatest joy until illness cut his dream short.
Bob loved his wife, their home and their many pets. His close family and friends meant the world to him. If wishes are granted, he is now reunited with his Grandad Wayne, Aunt Marion and Brother-in-Law Eric, and with Mattie, Jordan, Ryder, Nia and Brin.
Although he faced many medical issues during the latter part of his life, Bob was a fighter. He was strong and never gave up. He spent his final day helping Annette and making sure all the Christmas presents had been purchased before passing quietly in his sleep. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched.
May his memory bring comfort to all who mourn his passing.
