Obituary

Robert Vekich Jr, age 83, of Bovey, Minnesota, was born on February 13, 1940.

He died peacefully on March 7, 2023. He was preceded in death by his parents,

Robert Vekich Sr. and Mary Vekich, his brothers Nick and Duke Marjanovich and

a sister, Darlene (Tam) Grooms.

Bob, the most loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather is survived by

his wife of 56 years, Joyce (Koivisto) Vekich. His sons, Jeff (Lisa), Derek (Angie),

and Mike (Julie) Vekich. Grandchildren, Maggie, Libby, Mitchell, Claire, Ellie,

Thomas, and Cecelia Vekich. He is also survived by his three sisters, Delores

Peluso, Honey (Mary) Peluf, and Elaine Flatley and many nieces and nephews.

Bob served in the Armed Forces and was stationed in Alaska.

Bob retired from Blandin Paper Company after 33 years of employment. He also

served in the Bovey Fire department for 20 years.

Bob had the personality and natural charisma to make friends no matter the

situation. His laugh was infectious to everyone around him. His cell phone

ringtone was very well known in the area. All of Bob’s spare time was spent

outdoors hunting with family and meeting up with his coffee club at various local

establishments, and attending his grandchildren’s sporting events.

Bob’s pride and joy was his family and the time he could spend with them

participating in activities at the cabin or hunting shack.

Visitation will be from 2:30 PM until the 4:00 PM Mass of Christian Burial on Friday, March 10, 2023 in the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church, Coleraine. There will be a luncheon served after the service.
