Emnett, Robert Francis Jr.
Born November 27, 1966, Bob left us on September 6, 2024. He was born in St. Louis County, raised in Manchester MO. He is a 1985 graduate of St. Louis University High School. After two years at Washington U., he job-hopped, travelled around the U.S., was a baker for 7 years, and spent his last 20 years at Anthem Blue Cross in Portland, Oregon where he lived since 1997. Throughout his life he was a hard worker and made friends easily. He is already sorely missed by his parents Robert Francis and Rosemary (Voracek) Emnett, his sisters Michelle Emnett-Eickhoff (Sean Eickhoff) and Nichole Wren (Gary), and numerous friends. ‘Uncle Bobby’ is also missed by his beloved nieces Amelia Rose and Abigail Mae Eickhoff and nephew Eric Kevin Wren.

Condolences to bobs family and all his many loved ones.
After moving to Portland in 2014 I met Bob at Dante’s. Both being from St Louis County we discovered we had a lot in common including some friends. I’m so sorry for your loss. My prayers 🙏 are with All of you at this difficult time.
Bob was a free.spirit. The world is a better place because of those among us with the courage to live free
Bob, Sr. is my cousin and godfather. I only saw Bob, Jr. a handful of times over these many years. Once I had a long and interesting conversation with him at a family reunion at Eileen’s when it was still in the South County. He might have still been in his teens and I was in my 20s. Then once, maybe 20 years ago, I had a conference in Portland and we spent a wonderful afternoon together. From those two experiences he made a profound impression of me. A wonderful man!
So sad to hear that he passed away.

I met Bob about 5 years ago, he would get excited every time he was going to head back to St. Louis and would often share stories when he returned. I remember him today fondly as he always had a kind word for me. Thank you Bob, for your kindness and friendship.
