Robert Daniel you will be greatly missed! My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to your wife, children, and family. Such a kind man…….miss you.
I was so sad to hear about Robert. He was so vibrant and caring. I can still remember the day he told me about his farm. His eyes were bright and he was excited to share the details of it with me. I know that gave him such joy. He will be so deeply missed by all that were blessed to know him. My prayers and thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.
A faithful devoted disciple of Christ.
It was a joy to serve with him in the Union Ward! One week before he passed he stood at the pulpit in our Chapel and bore his testimony of Christ and Christ’s Church. And in the second hour he helped me teach the Youth as he sat next to his daughter Aleyna. His last words to me that day were to express his love and concern for one of members. I will forever be grateful to him for his wisdom and example!
Blessings of peace and love to his family!
Robert was a wonderful selfless person, and I enjoyed the brief time I knew him… Lifting up his family in prayer, we are deeply saddened by this loss.

My heart goes out to your family during this difficult time. Robert was a wonderful man wise beyond on his year. I cherish the times joking around with him anytime I came over to hang with Abby. He will be deeply missed.
Robert’s Mom and I have been friends since the 1st & 2nd grades, so I remember when Robert was born. It is heartbreaking now to be adding my condolences to Robert’s entire family. Please know my thoughts and prayers have been with you and will continue to be.
I was so sorry to hear this today, I remember that Kara and Robert came to visit us in Florida. Robert didn’t want sit still – he asked if we had a project he could do. My husband said he was trying to get internet wired in one of our rooms. Robert went right to work, climbed up into the ceiling and had the job accomplished in no time. We have known Kara for years and are so sorry about the loss of her wonderful husband and father to her daughters. We LOVE the Broadbent family!!!
Pat and James Payne and family in SLC.

Rob is a great man. Heaven got a tremendous servant back in its midst! Known Rob for over twenty five years from our young singles church group. He was a big brother to me. I will miss his smile! Condolences to his wife and children.
Kara and Family so sorry for your loss. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
I did not know his wife or children, but was old friends of his parents. I was so sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to Jim and Janet. Heavenly Father must have a special work for him to do. My prays are with you and the family. God Bless you all.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Robert was the best MTC companion I ever had… And the only one. We will be praying for your family.
I am so sorry for your loss, Daniel family. Prayers to you all.
Robert was a unique light in the world. He was keen to enjoy the opportunities around him, and I love that he shared them with his family. One of my favorite memories while he was in Sitka was when he wholeheartedly joined my children’s processional from our house to the ocean to send off their beloved pet beta in style, floating on a clamshell until the waves swallowed it up. My deepest condolences.
