ForeverMissed

This memorial website was created in memory of Robert Hedglin, 93 years old, born on March 26th, 1927, and passed away on February 21st, 2021.

Bob was married to the love of his life Myrna for 39 years. 

Bob was blessed to have had the unique opportunity to get to say goodbye to all of his loved ones, one by one. He wanted everyone to know just how much he loved them. He was very at peace with knowing that these were his last days. He was not scared and faced the reality head-on.

Bob had his own little prayer that he repeated daily, sometimes multiple times a day. "Jesus, I trust in you, Jesus I love you, Jesus I need you. Amen" 

True to form, Bob spent the last few days of his life making sure that Myrna would be well taken care of and that all of his affairs were in order. "Make sure you get my books out of my desk and share them with family," "Make sure your Mom's brakes are checked out and in good condition," "Make sure the property tax is paid on the house," and many more. 

Bob made it clear that he did not want a "big funeral," "no parties," or no "big things" for him. He said, "just a nice graveside service is all."

Graveside service (weather permitting) is scheduled for Friday, March 5th at 12:00 MST at the Hillside Cemetery in Fort Lupton at 13750 Weld County Road 12 Fort Lupton, CO 80621. 

A zoom link will be set up for all of those that cannot attend in person. Those details will be sent out via email within 1 to 2 days of the service.  

Bob asked that instead of flowers to please donate to the church that Myrna attends https://www.facebook.com/SaintWilliamChurch/

We will be gathering for a small "get together" at their home in Commerce City immediately following. (Bob didn't say we couldn't have a get-together, just not a party!!)

My dear cousin Bob, I am so very sorry I didn't get to tell you goodbye but so happy that you have gone from this suffering world to a far better place. Our loss, your gain. You sure will be missed and I promise I will stay in close touch with Myrna. My heart is comforted knowing that you knew how much I love you.

Bob will be missed by many. He was a loving and faithful man who always put Myrna first. My favorite memories of Bob include him showing off his huge garden, Christmas brunches, and the apartment he designed for Grandma and Grandpa Dunn. I know that Bob is at peace now and will watch and protect Myrna until they are reunited.

Bob was a very kind and special person. He took such good care of my aunt for 39 years. I know he was welcomed into his eternal home by our heavenly Father and heard the words, "Well done good and faithful servant." We love you all!!

We were incredibly blessed to have Bob and Myrna as neighbors when they moved to Conifer. Many afternoons were shared on their back patio enjoying the summer sunshine and cool Conifer breezes. Bob amazed us by the projects he took on at his age. He and Myrna always invited us for their yearly family gathering, so we enjoyed getting to know their children and grandchildren. So very thankful for the lifelong friendship that developed. Myrna, I'm sure this is hard for you, but his years of struggling with his health is now over. We love you! Terry and Kristy

His Life

The Life of Bob Hedglin

March 2, 2021
Bob was born in Cairo, NE to Claude and Helen in 1927.  His sister June was born in 1928 but died in infancy.  Donna Jean was born a few years later.  Claude was a farmer in Nebraska and eventually moved his family to Dupont, Colorado around 1940.  Bob graduated from Adams City High School and went immediately to the service of his country.  It was during World War II.  He served on a cargo ship.  When he returned after the war he worked with his father at the Foundry in Commerce City.  He married and Bob and his wife had two sons, Lon and Buz.  Bob was a hunter and fisherman.  He and his son Lon explored the mountains.  I think they knew every mountain road in Colorado

Bob and I met when we both worked for Adams County School District.  We married in 1982.  Together we worked toward retirement and helped my children find their way to their adult lives.  After the children were grown Bob and I did a lot of traveling, mostly in Colorado.  We traveled to Nebraska each year around Memorial Day to visit the graves of his parents and grandparents.  

We went to Hawaii in 2000 with his sister and husband Dick.  We went to Oahu and visited Pearl Harbor and we explored Diamond Head which was amazing.  We always wanted to plan a cruise to Alaska and also a trip to Maine in the Fall.  We ran out of time.  Life is short.

All the thoughts of my Uncle Bob have nothing but kindness and happiness though out my life.  You could see his happiness and contentment with Mynra in his life and through the special relationship that his sister had with him.  He will be truly missed but memories will forever be ours to share and find comfort with.     Mike and Jamie Wood

Bob and I had a great time during our marriage.  We traveled, we had family get together times each summer; we got along famously.  We even traveled to Hawaii one December at Christmas time.  We ran out of time before we could take a cruise to Alaska and we always intended going to Maine during the Fall.  We had many good memories of all the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  The family dinners were very special.  I will miss him so very much; however, I know I will see him again.  He was ready to go and I dearly love his prayer he said daily:  Jesus, I trust in You, Jesus I love you, Jesus I need you.  Then he would fold his hands and say, "Amen".  He was very much at peace with death.  I love you so much Bob.  I will see you in Heaven!  Myrna

I spent several summer's with Uncle Claude and Aunt Helen.  Bob was alway's finding a way to tease Donna Jean and I.  It was a fun time.  Remember he brought the boy's to our farm to visit and they had to fish. Later year's when he came back for Memorial Day we alway's got together for a few hour's.  Will miss talking to him, We should have done it more often, but I know he is at peace.  LOVE  Donna
