Robert Wesley Paddock

Robert Wesley Paddock (Bob or Bobbie to friends and family) was born January 25, 1956 in Riverside, CA and passed away suddenly at age 62 on January 24, 2019 in his home that he shared for over 5 years with the love of his life.

He retired November 1999 after several very interesting jobs that included welder, machinist, miner,  and mechanic on several projects. When he wasn't working Bob enjoyed his Harley, classic cars, fishing, hunting, shooting, camping, mining, exploring the desert, watching NASCAR on TV or at race track, spending time with friends and family. Bob was a dear and loyal friend, a hard worker, always kept his word, could find humor in any situation.

Bob had a special connection with children and animals, and was a hopeless romantic. The last  years of his life Bob found love with the love of his life, Joy Mason, and as papa to her adult kids and their spouses, Jana Mason, Jakki and Marcus Durvin, Justin and Andrea Mason and their children.  Voted "Best Papa EVER" by the grandchildren, Brittany Jaime, Rick Durvin and Heidi Durvin, and Autumn Mason, Ben Mason, and Summer Mason.

Bob is also survived by his brother Gene Paddock, his sister Susie Roth, stepbrother Byrd Klampt, and stepsister Dawn Sanders and their children.
