Robert's obituary
Robert was born on July 10, 1949 to Robert Wesley and Janet Helen Taylor in Englewood, New Jersey. After moving to Arizona with his family he attended Montebello, Orangewood, Royal Palm and Greenway Elementary and graduated from Paradise Valley High School in 1967. After graduating high school he moved to West Virginia where he got married and had his son Zachary in 1980. In 2013 he moved back to Arizona and moved in with his sister and brother-in-law, Susan and Mason. He went to our Paradise Valley High School Social and there he met and then married the love of his life Trish Taylor.
Robert worked as a road warrior sales representative for the largest Plumbing Wholesale houses in West Virginia selling various pipe, valve and fitting for 36 years. He retired and moved back to Arizona in 2013.
After retirement Robert took his silversmithing equipment out of storage that he had kept stored all those years. He started making silver jewelry which has been his passion. Everything he made was exquisite and made with love. Everyone that has purchased or was given anything he made knew they had something very special.
Anyone who knew Robert, knew that he was kind, loving, caring, brilliant, awesome and wonderful. He had an immense passion for his hobby and was always a source of positivity. Robert's family and friends will miss him more than words can say.
There will be a funeral service and a Celebration of Life held at 11:00 am on July 10, 2021 at Cornerstone Baptist Church, 4041 E Phelps Rd (South of Bell Rd), Phoenix, AZ 85032.
