Robert Patrick Mann

Robert (Bob) Mann was born July 31, 1957, after more than three years of bravely and gracefully battling Glioblastoma, he made his journey to rest in God’s grace on April 4, 2026.

Bob was known for his unmistakable smile, his quick wit that could lighten any mood, his blunt honesty that could catch ya off guard, and his fierce determination to get things done.

He loved life out loud (and if he was enjoying himself, chances are you heard him before you saw him) whether it be boating on summer days, chasing runs down the mountain in the winter, or lounging by the pool on a tropical vacation, he made it his mission to find the joys in life and make sure everyone around him felt it too.

Bob lived exactly how he wanted: fully, generously, and with a deep love for the people around him. He gave freely, helped often, and never hesitated to step in when someone needed something. His philosophy was simple- if he could help, he would or else he would pay someone else to!

He loved his wife, Kimber, deeply and purposefully, and their story is a true testament of unconditional love- a reminder that it still exists if you are lucky enough to find your soulmate.

His greatest joy was his children—Tyler (Samantha), Cody (Jacquelyn), and Nathan. He made sure they learned the value of hard work, that laughter truly was medicine, that integrity wasn’t optional, and that love was unconditional- especially when they said the secret phrase “because you’re my dad and you love me”. Yet, it was with his grandchildren—Lincoln, Josephine, Owen, and soon little Natalie—that his face shone the brightest. He always managed to show up for them with a smile and a joke, no matter the day he was having. You could feel the love he poured into them in every glance, every hug, and every quiet moment of presence until the very end. We take comfort knowing he’s holding baby Natalie first, that big smile plastered on his face, as he sends her to meet the family he cherished so deeply.

He will be remembered for his generosity, his humor, his confidence, and his unwavering belief that things would work out—especially if he had anything to do with it. He made life bigger, louder, and a whole lot more fun for everyone lucky enough to know him.

He is survived by his beloved family including: his cherished siblings - Peggy Sweeney, Larry (Margo) Mann, Sherry (Jay) Little, Cindy Grider, bountiful nieces and nephews, a loving mother and father-in-law - Rick and Shari Antcliff and a dedicated sister-in-law Beth Bush, as well as many wonderful friends who will carry on his stories, his spirit, and his zest for life.

He will be greeted in Heaven by his parents, Pat and Lois and his brother, Allen.

Though he has made his final deal, one thing is certain: Bob lived life on his own terms, with no regrets and a full heart. And if Heaven needed someone to keep things interesting, they got the right Mann.
