Robert Crask Obituary

With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Robert Crask. Robert passed away peacefully on January 28,2025 at the young age of 64. Robert was born and raised in Arizona and lived most of his adult life in Durango, with his wife Donna. Robert owned and operated Alpine Heating. Robert had an amazing life doing the things he loved that included archery hunting, fishing, and coyote calling. He was one of the founders of the Southwest Colorado Bassmasters. Robert qualified for the Colorado State Bass team and competed at the Bass Nation Championship. Robert loved competing with the UBTT bass circuit where he had made many fishing buddies over the years. He was always the life of the party with his wit, funny little sayings, and love of life.

Robert is survived by his wife Donna, brother David, sister Lynette, nieces and nephews, and many friends.

A celebration of life will be held on June 8, 2025, at 1:00pm, at the Elks Lodge Recreation Picnic Area off Florida Rd. BBQ will be provided.

Those attending Robert's celebration of life last weekend were treated to many great stories of how he lived his life. Yes indeed, he had a passion for hunting, fishing, and partying! He was a great husband, brother, and a good friend to many. We all appreciated his unwavering commitment to his pursuits, no doubt. But the thing many of us will miss the most is the fact that he was simply a good person, an exceptional person. The world was a better place when he was around us. He will be greatly missed.

Losing someone is always difficult, and hearing about it later can be especially jarring. It's understandable to feel sorrow even without a long acquaintance. Cherishing the memories you do have, however brief, can bring comfort. Thinking of you during this time and sending heartfelt condolences. May his memory be a blessing.
