Robert Raymond “Bobby” Coughlin was a loving son, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend to
so many. Bobby was born to Tim and Bridgit (Fortin) Coughlin on April 8, 1984. He began his
formal education at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic School and graduated from Wayzata High
School in 2002. He attended college at St. Cloud State University and graduated in 2007 with a
Finance degree. Upon graduation he began his career with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
During his 15 year career he served the Veterans and their families with compassion and
respect. He was a loyal and valued employee.
Bobby was a kind, caring and witty soul with a playful, mischievous side. He held a special
place in his heart for his Dad and Mom whom he often referred to as his “Best Friends”. Along
with his parents he adored his Grandparents Ken and Katherine Fortin, his Godparents Tom and
Joanne Coughlin and VERY special Aunt Kathy (Dovie) and Uncle John Nilson. He consistently
honored his Grandmother’s advice and never paid full price for anything!
Bobby was an avid sports fan. His keen sense of numbers led to his uncanny ability of following
and retaining sports statistics. His radio was forever tuned to KFAN, listening and trying to out
analyze the commentators.
His pride and joy were his black Beemers.
