Robert Allen Pries "Bob" was born September 29, 1967 and was the first child to Roger Pries and Jacqueline Pries Howell. On December 5, 2015 at 48 years of age he was reunited with his younger brother, Warren Kolman Pries, who passed away on January 5, 2009. Bob really loved his family and enjoyed hearing stories that his mother shared especially the ones about his "Pop's" (David Howell), uncle Koly and the notorious Grandpa Simon. Bob's laughter was infectious as he listened so intently holding on to every word spoken. He treasured so many memories and his heart took many pictures. Bob always saw the best in people and forgave the ones who wronged him. He tried to take care of so many people in crisis. His heart of gold, love, compassion, kindness and faith spoke volumes showing his God given spiritual nature. He showed respect and was courteous and polite. Bob's pool shooting ability won him recognition, admiration, respect, as well as several trophies and awards that he competed for. His best reward was his boxer and loyal companion, Duke. Bob was a very hard worker roofing 31 years. Bob was so loved by the lives that he touched and life without him is a constant reminder of the wonderful human being and treasure that was taken away from us too soon. Bob leaves behind his parents; his true and loving friend, Darcey Miller; sons, Joshua, Jeremy, Jared and their mother, Sandy (Pries) Brown; grandson, Micah; sisters, Theresa (Howell) Lohn, Kelly (Howell) Fowler, Cathy (Howell) Pryor; brother, Kevin Howell; aunts; uncles; nieces; nephews and cousins. A service and burial were held on December 13, 2015 and officiated by his cousin, John Brandt and Pastor Mike Feliciano. Condolences may be given at: www.norton-eastmanfuneralhome.com.
