Robert L. Westin Jr., 64

Robert L. Westin Jr., of Kalispell, was called home on Sept. 13, 2021.

Bob was a native of Colorado, born Oct. 25, 1956, and is the direct descendant of Montana's earliest gold rush era pioneers. Bob (aka Cowboy Bob) made his early living on horseback as a ranch hand, rodeo bull rider and in later years founded Westmar Mules Llc., of Kalispell. He was a beloved member of CHS Kalispell where he was charged with supervising the operational safety of that company’s transportation fleet.

Bob was a rabid outdoorsman who will be remembered as a man who treasured the simplest things in life, tending to his cook fire, “somewhere in the Bob Marshall.”

He leaves behind his wife Jenny and son Blaine, both residents of Kalispell.
