Robert Edward Jaeger

Robert was an amazing man. He was all about family, they meant the world to him. Whether it was immediate family or his church family, family was family in his eyes, and he loved them deeply.
Robert enjoyed spending time with his wife Patricia, of 48 years. They were best friends. He loved being with his sons and grandkids as much as possible. Robert was an amazing grandpa. His grandkids loved him deeply and looked up to him.
He enjoyed woodworking and boxing. He loved making his family and friends smile with his huge personality and fun, loving, spunky attitude. When Robert entered a room you couldnt help but smile because he was literally a ray of sunshine.
Robert was born in New York on November 3, 1942, and later moved to California, where he met and married his best friend Patricia, and started a family. They then moved to Oregon and watched their five sons grow into amazing young men. In 2003, they decided to move to Mountain Grove and proudly made this town their forever home.
