Robert Kieth Eales

Robert Kieth Eales "Bob" was born to Eternal Life on March 12, 2025 at the age of 83. Bob was a man of great faith, immeasurable kindness, and overwhelming pride in his family.

“Papa” loved: spending time on the back patio watching the grandkids play, fishing wherever he had the chance, watching movies on his obnoxiously large TV, telling horribly funny dad jokes, and beating Jill at five crowns. He always had cold beer for friends that stopped by; and friends were many. Everyone that entered the Eales home was welcomed as family.

He is now reunited with the great love of his life, Kathy (nee McGrath), whom he affectionately referred to as “Irish”. He will be deeply remembered and missed by his eight children, Kieth (Julie Rausch), Janine (Robert) Koepp, Richard (Catherine Steiner), Paul (Johnell Jochman), Jill (Todd) Bloedow, Angela (Samuel) Vallone, Rebecca (James) Weber, and Matthew (Jenessa Knutson).

The pride and joy of his life were his grandchildren: Kendra (James) Bast, Amber, and Alyssa Koepp; McKenna, Ashlynn and Teagan Eales; Mya and Morgan Bloedow; Samuel, Olivia and Sophia Vallone; Skylar and Rylee Allen; Jazlynne, Xenya, Briyel, and Paisyn Weber; Kade and Ada Eales; and great-grandchild Charlotte Koepp-Riddle.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lloyd and Martha (nee Skebba) Eales; brothers Walter and Kenneth Eales; and sisters Violet Eales and Sharon Wengetz.

Bob is further survived by his loving and devoted sister Karene Eales, his sister-in-law Margaret (David) Hesprich, and brother-in-law Ted Lawson.
