Bob was born March 12, 1961 in Colorado Springs, CO. He was a loving father to his beloved son, Jonathan, and a loving husband to his late wife, Connie, who preceded him in going home to be with the Lord. Bob was a devoted and caring son to his mother Catherine and his late father Don. He was the youngest of 7 and was an adored little brother to his four sisters and two brothers. Bob was an accomplished musician and relished his church music ministry and all things jazz. Bob wished that he could have had more years with his son but was at peace and secure with his eternal life with Christ. Ephesians 2:4-7 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
Bob is survived by his son, Jonathan Embree, Siblings; Kathy (Larry) Freeman, Scott Embree, Janet Morris, Bonnie (Tom) Killebrew, Cyndie (Steve) Kramer, Kent (Debbie) Embree, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and Jonathan's new dad and mom, Michael and Terri Freeman.
