Robert Eugene Heth

Robert Eugene Heth passed away on November 4th, 2022, due to an accident on the family ranch he loved.

Robert was born in Lusk, Wyoming on May 25, 1957, to Bonnie (Sides) and Rex Heth. He joined his oldest brother Loren Heth and younger brothers David and Christopher, with sisters Roxie Heth Houston, Kathleen Heth Lobato, and Pamela Heth Pridgeon to follow in the coming years. He attended school in the Niobrara County School District with varying jobs after leaving school. From ranch hand to pusher, driller to mechanic, he was a man of multiple skills. Robert was an avid animal lover, having owned several well-loved dogs and cats throughout his life. Vira, his most loyal four-footed companion, was with him constantly. Hardly a picture of Robert in recent years can be found without Vira tucked in close to him. Robert was also known for taking time to bring extra treats to the poultry, chickens and geese, and the family pet pig he helped care for.
