Robert dedicated his life to service and compassion. He honorably served in both the U.S. Navy and Marines, bravely working as a medic during the Vietnam War.

His laughter was infectious, and his ability to find humor in any situation was one of the many things his family and friends cherished most about him.

Robert will be deeply missed by his daughter, Lisa Siron; his son, Robert Allen; his cherished grandchildren, Hailee, Sara, Shane, and Zack; his granddaughter-in-law, Aleigh; and his great-grandson, Heath. His legacy of service, kindness, and laughter will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

A funeral service with full military honors will be held on April 2, 2025, at 1:00 PM at the VA Memorial Cemetery in Medical Lake, WA.

Robert’s courage, dedication, and humor will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace, with a smile on his face and a joke at the ready
