Obituary - Robert Riehm
Robert Riehm

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.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
