Cherokee-
Robert was born on September 23, 1937 and died peacefully on
March 17, 2026. Robert was born and raised in Cherokee, Oklahoma and graduated
from Cherokee High School. He served two years in the US Air Force, stationed
throughout Turkey, Europe and Asia. After returning to Cherokee (and in
between runs to the Dinette for coffee and a bear claw) he worked as an
electrician for White’s Electric, a lineman for the city of Cherokee and
retired from the State of Oklahoma prison system, the Army National Guard and
Cherokee’s volunteer fire department.
(Bob was a busy man)
He is survived by his daughter, Glenna Bevin; ex- wife, Patricia Young; sister, Nina Coldwater; eleven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his son, David Young; parents, Roy and Opal Young; brother, Gene Young and two granddaughters, Leslie and Brittiney.
Robert loved to joke and play pranks, and he never met a stranger. He loved his family, a good breakfast and “one more coffee for the road”.
He will be missed.
