Robert, Bob to friends, Mark to family, 64, of Scottsdale passed away from COVID on March 12, 2021 in the loving company of his family.
Much loved husband and father, survived by wife Karen and two children Nathaniel and Madeleine, niece Laura and nephew Todd. He brought light to our days, warmth and love to our lives. His boundless enthusiasm for science, reading, travel, motorbikes, space, and life itself endeared him to everyone who got to know him. He was excited and looking forward to Madeleine and Christian's marriage celebrations this year and was planning the next chapters in his life with Karen to include travel and more time with Nathaniel, Jess, family and friends in the UK as well as many other retirement options. Bob/Mark's endearing and lovable smile, his kindness and such smart intellect will be missed, but cherished as he was truly a unique and irreplaceable husband, father and friend.
The family are so very grateful for the love and support of family, friends and coworkers. We are planning to send his ashes into space and we can share a link if you wish to make a donation.
