Robert Wayne Staker Robert Wayne Staker passed away August 17, 2026, of pancreatic cancer. Born August 25,1946 to Gordon L. Staker and Glenda R. Staker. Rob graduated from North Sanpete High School in 1964, then served a two-year mission in Australia for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He married Sheila Ann Tippetts in the Salt Lake Temple on September 13, 1968. Together they had 5 children: Becky (Trevor) Paulson, Wayne (Becca) Staker, Kelly (Steve) Littlefield, Jake (Jessica) Staker, and Rusty (Matthew) Visher, as well as 18 grandchildren and 2 greats. Rob graduated from Snow College and Utah State University with a degree in Range Management. He made his life’s work in construction eventually owning his own company. In doing this he provided a work structure for his sons and others who wanted it. He was hard working and always known for his honesty. He held many church callings including bishopric and two times in the stake high council. Rob had a passion for the mountains, taking his family camping when he could, especially on the 4th of July. Of course, fishing was often involved. By his kids he was known for rock rolling (big rocks down the mountain side), funny songs, wheeler rides, and watching big thunderstorms roll in. At home were his family nests, helping others, piling in the car to go get lickers (ice cream cones), and seeing if apples could be peeled in one long, unbroken strip. Rob was known for his nicknames given to all his kids and grandkids. Others were also known to be recipients of these coveted names. Time in Yellowstone with his brother was always a highlight. During retirement most summers were spent in Alaska at a fishing lodge with friends where time was spent supervising the boat dock and Sheila was the cook. Of course, fishing and good times were involved. Many good friends were made. Ron was one of those good friends whom he loved to salmon fish with. Later in life Rob loved to have and be in his garden. Getting wood for his woodburning stove was his playtime. Temple work and service became his passion. Together with his wife he served in the Manti Temple since January 2012. He will be missed and was loved by all who knew him. We would like to thank Intermountain Hospice for their tender loving care. Especially Kallie and Virginia for their love and support.
