He never ran across anything he couldn’t build or fix. A drag racer and auto mechanic for most of his life, Rob had a lifelong passion for anything with an engine. He was always willing to lend a hand or advice to friends and neighbors with cars, homes, yards, and even kids’ bikes. Rob continued building cars until the day he could no longer leave the bed. Preceded in death by his parents. Survived by wife, Kris; son, Marshall (Celeste); daughter, Steph; grandchildren, Ramses and Moccah; and sister, Susan Ruff. A visitation will be held Wednesday, February 27, 2019, 6-8pm at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary 4760 South State Street, Murray.
