Felix Robert “Rob” Vandewiele III, 68, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, passed away on December 5, 2022, at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.
Rob was born April 2, 1954, in Borger, Texas, to Felix Vandewiele Jr. and Betty Maurine Helco Vandewiele Sorenson. He graduated from Idaho Falls High School in 1972. He also attended Ricks College and received an Associate’s Degree.
On October 5, 1978, Rob married his beautiful bride, Roxane Hillam, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, where they continued to live and raise their family.
Rob was a tower of strength and energy, full of life, and he enjoyed retirement. Rob had an infectious laugh of pure joy when anything funny happened. All his life, he was strong, tall, rugged, and a hard worker.
As a teenager, Rob was a powerful snow skier who did crazy aerobatics.
