In Loving Memory of Robert H. Tomlinson III

May 19, 1962 - November 10, 2024

On the evening of November 10, 2024, Robert H. Tomlinson III passed away peacefully at Haven Health at 10:00 PM MST.

Born on May 19, 1962, Robert was a kindhearted man who dedicated his life to his family and his passion for writing. He was a devoted father, a cherished husband, and a soul whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Robert faced a courageous battle with late-stage COPD and congestive heart failure over the past five years. In the end, he departed this world peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by care and love.

Robert is survived by his son, Joshua Tomlinson; his ex-wife, Gwendolyn Kelley; his sister, Cathy Roberge; and his niece and nephews, Casey, Spencer, and Devon Roberge.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Sylvia Tomlinson and Robert Tomlinson II, who now welcome him into heaven with open arms.

May Robert rest in eternal peace and may his soul soar high in the heavens above. His memory will forever remain in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
