Robert A. Snow Sr.

It is with great sadness that we said goodbye to “Bob Snow” aka “Snow Man,” Robert A. Snow Sr. of Troy, Montana.

On June 13, 2023, Bob passed away due to complications from surgery after battling cancer.

He is preceded in death by his parents Ershel and Patty Snow and his two sisters; Pam and Becky.

He is survived by his four children, Robert, Jayson, Amy and William; his brothers Steve, Chyanne, Rock, Chris, Mick and Rick, 10 grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family.

Born in Fruita, Colorado, Bob traveled to Montana with his father as traveling musicians. Bob met his ex-wife Deanna while traveling through Montana.

He later became a sawyer, a wildland firefighter, a forklift operator and a truck driver. In 1996 he obtained his GED and an AA degree in photography. Bob loved the outdoors, wildlife, music and photography.

Bob returned to Fruita, Colorado in the spring of 2000. He met his second love, Ida Ogden. Bob reconnected with his roots by spending his weekends with family, friends and the outdoors.

He continued his passion for photography and found a new passion for gardening. It gave him great joy to give away the vegetables he grew to anyone that would enjoy them.

Bob came back to Troy in 2013 and spent his retirement with his children and grandchildren. He loved watching them grow and teaching them along the way. Bob loved sharing stories and telling funny jokes. Even though Bob wasn’t able to watch all of his grandchildren grow up while he was with us, he will definitely be watching from above.

Bob was opposed to funerals all of his life and did not want one for himself. He would rather people gather, have fun, reconnect, enjoy life and remember the good times. His children plan to honor his memory by having more family gatherings, sharing stories and photos so the good times are never forgotten.

If you wish to send a condolence or even have a good story or photo to share please send it to 609 Smith Road, Troy, MT 59935.
