Bob Mollman, a cowboy through and through, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away on June 28, 2024, at the age of 76. Bob was born June 13th, 1948, to Dorus and Margaret Mollman. He was number 10 of 13 children:  Wally, Joyce, Betty, Jim, Dave, Bill, Eleanor, Kathy, Joe, (Bob), Greg, Frank, and Ray.

Bob spent his days on his ranch near Watauga, South Dakota, with his wife Jonabeth where they built a wonderful life out of love and hard work. For 53 wonderful years, he was the devoted   husband to Jonabeth. Together, they built a strong, faith filled, loving family, raising five children: Page, Bowen (married to Sonya), Blaine (married to Cassie), Preston (married to Mandy), and Molly (married to Bryan).

Bob was a proud grandfather to 18 grandchildren: Dylan, Max, Tell, Abe, Clara, Joanna, Brady, Bailie, Tripp, Timry, Keston, Carlie, Karissa, McKinnley, Lauryn,( Madalynn), Jonnalyn, and Lores. He cherished each one and took immense joy in watching them grow, sharing with them his love for the Lord, family, friends, cattle and horses.

Bob's life was a testament to his faith and hard work, which lead to him and Jonabeth receiving the South Dakota American Quarter Horse Legacy Award in 2023. His strong spirit, generosity, and unwavering dedication to his family, friends, and community left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

He had a unique gift of gathering people together, making people laugh, turning friends into family, and brightening the lives of everyone he met. His friends and loved ones will remember his stories, work ethic, strength, wisdom, and sense of humor.

Bob Mollman's legacy will live on through his family and the countless lives he touched. To his word he was always true.  Until we meet again, he will be riding through the pastures of heaven.
