It is with great sadness that the family of Robert Riehm announces the passing of such a wonderful man.
Robert Dean Riehm was born Aug. 11, 1960, and passed away Sept. 3, 2025, in Fallon. After serving in the U.S. Navy, Robert moved to Fallon, where he lived for nearly 40 years.
He drove an 18-wheeler for many years, accumulating 2.5 million accident-free miles, and later worked as a civilian contractor at NAS Fallon. Many knew him as “Rob” or “Bob.” To all who knew him, Robert was honest, loyal, honorable, easygoing, and faithful. His word was his bond.
Robert was a devoted father who would do anything for his family. Being “Papa” was one of his greatest accomplishments, and his grandchildren were the joy of his life. He showed his family what true love was, and he would do anything for those he called family and friends. Though his loved ones weren’t ready to give him up, heaven gained the most selfless and kind man.
Robert is survived by his mother, Mary-Jane; siblings Carol, Pam (Tom) and Steve (Chris); children Warren (Lydia), Kristine (Levi) and Stephanie (Kevin); and grandchildren Jacinda, Brooklynn, Lily, Aeralyn and Camden. He is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members.
A service will be held at Oasis Community Church on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025, at 2 p.m., followed by a gathering at the American Legion.
