Robert Yaw Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cremations of the Ozarks - Hollister on Oct. 20, 2023.
Robert "Bobby" Alan Yaw, age 65, of Spokane, Missouri, passed away on October 16, 2023. He entered this life on December 1, 1957, in Des Moines, Iowa, the son of Carl Joseph Yaw Sr. and Barbara Jean (Allen) Yaw. Bobby was preceded in death by his parents; numerous aunts and uncles; and nephew, baby Kenny.
Working as a mechanic for a majority of his life, Bobby had a passion for cars and could often be found tinkering on them. Bobby was feisty but would do anything for anyone. He was a good man who loved fishing whenever he could, coffee and food, especially Waffle House. Bobby cherished his family and adored his children and grandchildren. He will be forever missed and never forgotten.
Bobby is survived by his daughter, Jennifer (James) Logue of Pueblo West, Colorado; son, Joseph (Melissa) Yaw of Missouri; brother, Richard (Hope) Yaw of Des Moines, Iowa; brother, Tom (Bobbi Jo) Yaw of Des Moines, Iowa; sister, Carla (Michael) Spriggs of Franklin, Tennessee; brother, Carl Yaw Jr. of Des Moines, Iowa; six grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and chosen family: Cherill, Jerry, Donna, and Sandy.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Cremations of the Ozarks.
