Robert KEPHART Obituary
KEPHART, Robert Aurel
Robert "Robbie" Aurel Kephart passed peacefully in the early morning hours on September 9, 2013. Preceded in death by his parents Bob and Betty Kephart as well as his sister Jenny. Robbie is survived by his daughter Amber, granddaughter Asa, partner Diane, sisters Christine, Darlene, Ronna and Laurie, seven nieces and nephews and many dear friends.
Robbie grew up in West Sacramento and spent most of his life there. He was an iron worker for several years until ill health necessitated an early retirement. Though Robbie's life was filled with many obstacles, he overcame them and managed to enjoy what life offered him. Robbie was most courageous when faced with illness that would give him just a few short months to live. That precious time was spent enjoying some outdoor trips, reminiscing and sharing love with those he cared so much for.
Family and friends will gather to remember Robbie at 1:00 PM on Sunday, October 6th at the VFW Post 8762, 905 Drever Street in West Sacramento.

Uncle Robbie,
I will cherish our last conversation.
I'll never forget the feeling I felt seeing you walking up to the park smiling at all of us. It was so nice to see everyone greet you and show you our love. Just remember you have always been my uncle since I was a little girl. Don't you worry about cousin Amber she's a very strong women. She knows the love you've given her and the strength you've had shared. I will always love you for that even more.
May you Rest In Peace!!!
Love Rita Davidson (#1 Dolly)

Chris, Darlene, Ronna and Laurie, What do you really say? I know you will all miss Robbie tremendously. I hope you will find warmth in your hearts when memories of him come to mind and bring smiles to your faces, that you will find beauty in things that Robbie loved and all of his silliest and most heartfelt talks with each of you will always bring good thoughts for you. I personally will always remember the cool big brother Ronna Mae had and his great hair that a 7th grade girl thought was so cool on that 8th grade guy. Much love to you all.

Chris, Darlene, Ronna Mae, Lori - I am so sorry for the heart-break of losing Robbie, so close to having lost your Dad. I knew Robbie since I was a young girl in junior high school, and not long after met you, Ronna Mae, and subsequently we became like family. Robbie was a big part of our lives, as well. I am glad I got to see him after so many years, at your Dad's memorial, and then again at your house; to give him a hug, and I knew how much he appreciated that. Love, Nee Nee....

Dear Chris, Darlene, Ronna & Laurie,
So sorry to hear about Robbie. How can I forget babysitting for him when he was just a few months old. I would take him to my house next door, and my Mom and I would give him his bath and powder him with Johnson's baby powder because you girls loved the way it smelled on him. Please accept my deepest sympathy....Your longtime friend and neighbor on Elder Drive.
