Mark Robb Obituary

Mark James Robb

Mark James Robb passed away on Monday, April 12, 2010. He was born on August 18, 1964 to Gary and Denise Robb in Las Vegas, NV.

Mark grew up in Tonopah, NV and has lived in Reno, NV for the past 20 years where he established his own business in the air conditioning and heating field. He enjoyed a life-long appreciation of the outdoors with camping, fishing, and hunting. He was a Member of the Snowshoe Thompson Chapter Clampers and the local 350 Union Hall. He was an avid Harley rider and could often be seen on his Skull bike around the area. Some of his happiest times were spent at his cabin in Manhattan, NV enjoying the company of his many friends.

Mark is survived by his wife Stephanie and daughters Haley, Taylor, and Sydney, mother Denise (Gifford) Parlet, sister Stacey (Scott) Myrehn, nephews Jared and Alex, and niece Dayna. Mark had many aunts, uncles, and cousins as well. He was preceded in death by his father Gary.

A Celebration of life will be held on Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 1 p.m. for family and friends with a graveside service at the Manhattan Cemetery and reception to follow at the Upper Bar in Manhattan, NV. An additional get-together will be held at Porky's Bar and Grill in Reno, NV on May 8, 2010 at 3 p.m. We invite you to join us in making a toast and sharing a pint!

And in the mean time...

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Back in the Robbs home town , and I think of you so often, I understand why you loved being out in the hills here and I feel the same- I wonder sometimes if you helped guide me back here to finally have peace and happiness. You are always missed, never forgotten and bring a smile to everyone's face when your name is mentioned. Rest easy cousin- kiss our family up there!

12 years ago today You left and began the climb on The Stairway to Heaven. I miss You and I know that I will see and hug you again. You seemed to be around more often ......I´m sure you are busy helping people as they cross over. We are going to Tonopah and Manhattan next week and will visit Yours and Gary´s resting place on the Mountain. Nice to know that your daughter, Haley, named her adorable blonde boy after you....middle name James....and I´m sure you like his very Irish first name, Finegan! And I am happy that Lori thinks of you often too. Ok....my Mark James.....I shall `see You again´ Mom

Even after 11 years, April 12th is still so hard for me...
Thanks for being a great dad to me and giving me the best memories to look back on.

Fin James is getting so big; I know you're cheering him on as he discovers the big blue ball!
Thinking about taking the little dude to your old stomping grounds, Manhattan, on your birthday this year!

I liked grandma's idea of planting a tree in your remembrance! I think I shall do the same!!! (Miss you grandma Denise!)

I love you dude!

Hello my wonderful son. You left us 11 years ago today. We had lunch out with you in mind. Today I am going to purchase an evergreen and we will plant it in your honor....something I shall do ever year in your honor. I know that you are very happy to have a grandson with your middle name.....Finegan James. Son of your daughter, Haley, whom you loved very much. Knowing you, you are with Haley and Finn often watching over them. I love you and you are in my heart every day. ❤Mom

Mark,
Thought of you on your birthday, and can't believe its been 10 years that you have been gone. I can just picture you, Grampa Marshal, and Gary with your arms around each other. Telling jokes and making Irish toasts, Del Lorice singing along with George and Louise sharing stories. Love you and miss you.

Denise Parlet

Hello Mark, it was one year ago today that we all celebrated You in Manhattan, Nevada......I know you were there celebrating along with family and many friends.

Haley Finegan

June 23, 2020

Hows the life of the party doing up there?! Gosh I miss you tons! Not a day goes by that Im not thinking of you and wish you were here
You became a grandpa to your first grandson last month; May 25th! I already know youre proud of the very Irish name we picked out for the little man; Finegan James McGuire
Gave him your same middle name!
Fathers Day was this past Sunday and of course it had me wishing I had pictures of you!
Im sorry if I ever gave you too much trouble as a kid, and every day I hope Im making up for it by making you proud. Thank you for being a father to me, Mark! Youre still the coolest dude I ever met! And Ill forever wish I could introduce you to the important people in my life! Like my future husband, who I know you would get along great with; after challenging him to arm wrestle of course and I wish you could be an influence to your grandson, Fin, like how you were to me! I smile thinking about how COOL of a grandpa you wouldve been!!! But youll always live in memory through me! I dont even know how its been 10 years...? Memories I have of you are still fresh in my mind like it was just yesterday! I forever love and miss you, pal! Gonna go listen to some Pink Floyd now!

You were here last week, so I had 3 great days feeling your strong presence. You were with Troy also. I know when you are near because the word Believe pops up everywhere, as does the Journey song "Don't Stop Believing". You must be back at the transfer station assisting those who are crossing over.

The memories I will have of you. Borrowing your chaps and returning them all clean and shinning (suppose to look aged)you them made me get them dirty. Sneaking into all the concerts what a chore that was. My nick name you gave me "POCAHONIS" I still get called that all the time.

Mark was a big part of my life growing up in Tonopah. Sorry we never found the gold we were looking for - okay, so, we were six but still... All my memories with Mark are special ones - I can't say that about many people.
Undoubtedly, anyone who met Mark hurts today.

April 19, 2010

Mark, my friend. We weren't done with the ride yet, and I miss you so. The road will be lonely without you, I'll see you on the other side. Denise and Stacey, I am so sorry. I loved Mark like a brother.
