Robert Shawn Seipp, passed away Monday August 21, 2017. He was surrounded by his loving family and many friends. Bob was born March 20, 1967 to William A. and Virginia R.

He and his twin brother Henry began their lives, notably, as the the first recorded set of twins born in the Aberdeen/Ocean Shores area.
Bob attended Cheney High School and Spokane Falls community College. He had a brilliant mind, but loved to work with his hands. He was a painter, a carpenter, a mechanic, a truck driver, bus driver, and his dream job was owning Bob's Big Bend Bowling Center in Ritzville, Washington. Bob was also passionate about hydroplane racing. He loved his racing teams and working on the boats. He called the races his mistress as he would run off every year to work on the boats and be a part of the races.
Bob was preceded in death by his mother Virginia. He is survived by his father William; his three children: Robert Charles Seipp, Alexandra Rose Seipp, and Kaitlin Christine Eilerman (Adam); his brothers: William J. (Brandi), Henry B; and his sisters: Anna Flatt (Joe), and Marilyn Musselwhite (Wayne). Bob had many nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, and friends who adored him. He was a gentle giant who would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He will be missed greatly. Heaven has gained a big angel with a huge heart and soul.
