Robert grew up in Oklahoma and East Texas. In his younger days, he enjoyed playing sports, fishing, riding bulls, mud rallies, and Harleys. Robert rarely met a stranger; especially if it meant talking shop about vehicles. He spent most of his adult life as an over the road truck driver, until health issues forced his retirement in 2001.
In addition to his wife Heather, survivors include Holly Clark (Brett Scott), Katlyn Clark (Landon Reid), Tyler Clark, and two grandsons that he loved dearly, Atticus Reid and Silas Scott, all of Nevada. Robert is also survived by numerous cousins and extended family. He was preceded in death by his mother Ruby (Hastings) Heitzman.
A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
