Robert Allen Broberg, 79, passed away on Monday, December 12, 2022 at his home in Pocatello, Idaho. Bob was born on October 29, 1943 in Logan, Utah. He was the oldest child of Allen Percival Broberg and Marjorie Anne Kraus. He was raised and educated in Logan along with his younger brothers, Dale, Darrell, and Michael.

Bob graduated from Logan High School in 1963. He joined the Army Reserves in 1964. He later attended Utah State University to receive a certificate in Ornamental Horticulture. Bob met Pam Schwartz on a blind date. They were married in the Logan LDS Temple on May 19, 1972. They lived in Logan, Utah and Farmington, Utah for a short time before landing in Malad, Idaho for most of their lives together. Bob started out as a butcher in his in-law’s grocery store. He later worked at Thiokol and Hess Pumice. After Bob’s retirement, they moved to Pocatello, Idaho for Pam’s employment and to be closer to their kids. Bob and Pam have three children, Jody, who passed at birth, Jason Robert and Alyson.

Bob enjoyed so many things about life. He was a stalwart member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, where he faithfully served in many callings. He took great pride in having a big garden every summer. He always looked forward to his fresh ripe tomatoes. One could often find Bob reading the newspaper, especially the comic strips on Sunday’s, reading a Clair Poulson novel, working on a crossword puzzle, watching Parry Mason on TV, and of course, drinking his beloved Pepsi. He loved visiting with anyone and everyone, especially his family and friends.
