Robert (Bob) Hansen Love Obituary (1964 - 2020)

Due to a family member testing postive for COVID and other family members being possibly exposed, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Celebration of Life for Bob. There will be a small memorial in November where his final wishes will be granted. He will have his ashes scattered at Haystack rock in Oregon. Thank you all for your love and support at this difficult time. Bob knows your hearts, he knows your sadness, he would want us all to remember the good times, the laughter that he brought to all of us. With heartfelt gratitude and love, we thank you for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace Bob, Your life brought joy to all who knew you. Robert (Bob) Hansen Love born August 22, 1964 passed away suddenly on September 6, 2020 at the age of 56. Bob was born in Portland, Oregon to William and Linda Love. He was raised in Washington and later moved to Utah, where he graduated from American Fork High School. In high school he met his wife Carolyn Urry Love. They were married for 29 years and had four beautiful children. He worked for Sysco Corporation for 30 years, after retiring he went to US Foods for a short time. He loved working in the food industry and the people he worked with. After retiring from Sysco, he met and married Laura Stagg Love in 2012. Together they had eight amazing years of adventure, travel and lots of moves. He lived in Oregon, Washington, Utah, and Idaho throughout his life, but the Oregon Coast was where he called home. Bob, Bobby, Biscuit, SpongeBob or Sweetheart, he would answer to any with a smile and a story that would always make you laugh. Bob was a loving and dedicated father. His children and grandchildren were the world to him. He was the ultimate adventurer and never afraid to try something new or just plain crazy. He loved making people laugh and he was at his best in front of a crowd. Everyone loved Bob and Bob loved everyone. Despite his funny exterior, he had a heart and soul that were beyond compare. He would drop everything to help a friend or a stranger in need. He often laid awake at night worrying about those he loved. Bob left us all too soon. We had many more adventures with him. We will miss our vacuum dancer, our party planner, our best friend, and soul mate. We love you B-O-B, frontwards, backwards and diagonally. We can’t wait to see you again. Bob was preceded in death by his mother, Linda Love and his father, William Love. He is survived by his wife, Laura Love and his 4 children, Amber Love, Jason Love, Kelsy (Trevor) Slater, and Allison (Adam) Christensen, 5 stepchildren, 8 grandchildren, and 7 step grandchildren.
