Robert Loren Sidwell, born June 12th, 1939, returned home to his Heavenly Father, and other loved ones who have already passed, on April 23, 2015, due to heart complications and other issues to do with age. Robert would have been seventy-six years young this next birthday.

Robert was able to see the world and visited many foreign lands during his time in the service and was quick to regale family and friends with tales of those times and places. He was also a big fan of the Zane Gray books and could be found many days resting and reading one of these western novels.
Robert lived a colorful life before settling down but once he met Kathy, his sweetheart, she and their children would become his whole life. When the grandchildren started coming Robert proved himself to be an exceptional grandfather and will be dearly missed.
Robert also loved his gardens and his animals and kept a variety of pets including goats, geese, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and pigeons, along with cats and dogs.
Robert was an accomplished cook and worked feeding the people of Juab County, Nephi specifically, for many years in such establishments as, Flaming Rock, Rays Café, and Cedar Hollow Restaurants. Robert was known for winding a great tale and kept everyone who ever met him entertained with yarns of life abroad as well as his experiences right here at home. There wasn't anything Robert wouldn't do for anyone he called family and that was just about everyone as his family will tell you.
Robert was a warm, kind, generous man, husband, father, and grandfather who will be ever so dearly missed.
Graveside services were held for family and friends at the Vine Bluff Cemetery, 1250 N. 400 E. Nephi UT. on April 28th.
