C. Hawkey Obituary
Robert is survived by his wife, Christina Hawkey; their three children, Breanna, Kyle and Bryce; and future son-in-law Collin Sumpter. The family watched their husband and father valiantly fight a twenty-one year battle with cancer, and was with him at the time of his peaceful passing on Thursday, June 12, 2014. Robert enjoyed many things, including traveling and scuba diving, but his greatest passions were his faith and his family. Robert spent every moment that he could making memories with his wife and children.
Robert's Memorial Service will be at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 21, 2014 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2895 S. 8th Avenue, Yuma, Arizona. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to: The Foothills Bank, 2285 S. 4th Ave, Yuma; account 0242602020. Donations can also be made online at http://www.gofundme.com/aayit0.

Christina and Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I loved Robert. He taught me so much and I really did enjoy serving as Relief Society President under his guidance. I admired his love and compassion for all. I know that you will all be fine, but missing him will be hard. The Lord will bless you and just know you are loved much. Joan Sohm Hayward

My prayers to your family. I had the honor of meeting Robert on a visit to Yuma, and what I remember was a very kind man who acted like he had known me all my life. This gentle man is now an Angel and spreading happiness all over heaven.
