Robert Dick Jr.

Robert Elvin Dick Jr., 70, of Des Moines, passed away May 31, 2026, at his home. He was born August 4, 1955 in Des Moines, Iowa, to Jessie and Robert Dick.

Robert dedicated 29 years to production and manufacturing at the Atlas Company before concluding his career with Kemin Industries. A devoted sports fan, he enthusiastically followed the Kansas City Chiefs and the Iowa Hawkeyes. He also enjoyed attending sprint car races at Knoxville Speedway. Robert loved coaching his son’s Little League teams, and the experience brought him such joy that he continued coaching for some years afterward. Above all, Robert’s greatest joy was his family and spending time with them.

Dawn and Family,
Bobby was a dear friend. Fond memories of him whether it was playing softball (he had a wicked left-handed throw) or listening to his knowledge of music and sports. He was a standing member of the Liar’s Breakfast Club. Always enjoyed his company and will be deeply missed.

Dawn, Jimmy and Jesse.
Kathy and I are so so saddened to hear of Bobbys sudden passing. We sure had some great times over the years. I think I first met Bobby when he was about 10 and I was 12. Playing sandlot baseball games at Watrous elementary. I am honored to call Bobby my friend all these years. Kathy and I hope in time all the good memories will warm your hearts. Once again our condolences and love to the Dawn and the family
