After struggling with a long term illness, our Beloved, Robert “Bob” Macklin passed away at home on February 9th, 2015. He was a loving and kind Man; father, husband, son, brother, uncle, grandfather, and all those who knew him loved him like family. He was preceded in death by his father, Wilbur “Mack” Macklin; and his parents-in-law, Frances and Floyd Kern. His memory lives on in the hearts of those survived by him; his wife of 40 years, Sherri Macklin; mother, Dorothy Macklin; brother Barry Macklin, nieces, nephews, and families; his children, Carissa Macklin, Blake (Alison) Macklin, Noel Macklin, Dusty (Jenny) Macklin, and Karen Hall; and the lights of his life, his grandchildren, Ben, Sam, Lillia, Kaylee, Landon, and Noah Macklin who has also preceded him in death. Bob was born in 1951 in McPherson, Kansas. He attended Lamar Junior College and later spent his working days with Safeway. Though his work was stressful and demanding, he loved it and was extremely accomplished and decorated in his field. During his off time you needed only look outdoors to find him. Gardening was more of a passion for him than a hobby as evidenced by an abundance of delicious vegetables he enjoyed sharing with everyone. If he was not in the yard, he was out in the woods. As an avid fisherman, he would comb the wilderness in search of the one that got away, often returning with a basket-full and stories to tell. More than anything, he loved to laugh and could always be found with a smile on his face. As a master of conversation you could always county on his quick wit and unmatched humor. He will be deeply missed.
