Robert Aaron Lofland

Robert Aaron Lofland, 51, said good-bye to his earthly life and returned home to his Heavenly Father, on August 25, 2013, following his courageous 8 month fight with cancer, a complicated case of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. He was surrounded by his family at his home in Arvada, CO. Rob was an only child, the pride and joy of the Late Robert A. and Claudine L. Lofland born October 2, 1961 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. At a young age, his family moved to Powell, Wyoming where he spent his years growing up. He was an award winning swimmer and golfer, and at one time ranked 7th in the state of Wyoming among high school athletes for golf. He married his high school sweetheart, Carmel, on August 7, 1982 in Powell, WY. He attended University of Wyoming and later furthered his education at ITT Technical institute in Phoenix, AZ. He enjoyed his career as a Field Service Engineer for 25 years. He and his family moved to Colorado from Arizona and had enjoyed living here for the past 16 years. He had a great appreciation for the outdoors. Rob's true passions were golf, taking care of his yard, and spending time with his family. His 4 little grand boys were the love of his life and he enjoyed the wonderful times he spent with them. He was extremely excited for the arrival of his first granddaughter, due this October. He had a strong testimony and was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, following his conversion 25 years ago. Rob had an incredible zest for life, a contagious smile, a fabulous sense of humor and a heart of gold, always willing to help anyone in need. Above all, Rob was a devoted and loving husband, dad, grandpa and friend. Rob is survived by his wife of 31 years, Carmel Lofland of Arvada, CO; children, Brad (Kendra) Lofland of Thornton, CO; Nicole (Ben) Humphrey of Farmington, UT; and Sean Lofland of Arvada, CO; four grandsons, Austin (Humphrey), Andyn (Lofland), Logan (Humphrey), Zayven (Lofland) and many extended family members and friends.
