Our beloved father, Robert "Bob" Arens, 83, passed from this life into an eternal life with Jesus on March 12, 2020. He was a man of true courage living with a long term illness.

Bob was born in 1936 to Albert and Frances Arens. He was raised on a large corn farm in Hartington, Nebraska.

Bob married Donna Olesen in South Dakota, in April 1960.

They settled in Marysville, to run Bob's Bulldozing. They later semi-retired to Sekiu, to run Bayview Mobile Home Park. Later, they officially retired in Sequim.

Bob was always ready with a laugh, story or joke. He was an anchor to his family, always strong, ambitious, persistent, and hard working. He loved nature and the outdoors. Hunting, fishing and gardening were his favorite things to do. H also loved birds, music, family, and friends.
