August 7, 1933 – September 15, 2026
Robert “Bob” James Mick passed away on September 15, 2026 at the age of 93 years old.
A memorial service will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Delta, Colorado (1679 Pioneer Road) at 11am on Saturday, Sept. 26.
Bob was born at home on Aug. 7, 1933, in Wiley, Colorado to Louise (Morlan) and Aurie Mick. He grew up in McClave, Colorado. His first job was working in a hay factory where hay pellets were made for livestock. He moved to the Western Slope after losing his sheep herd and corn crop to the Dust Bowl. He held many jobs, including working at a log camp on the Flat Tops, driving a coal truck for the mine in Carbondale and working as a ranch hand at the Crystal River Ranch before attending barber school in Denver in 1963. He barbered for 59 years until the age of 92, but he was always a cowboy first and foremost. He was also well known as a referee for high school basketball and football. Bob spent his time away from Cascade Barber Shop raising cattle and enjoying his family cabin on the Uncompahgre Plateau.
Bob and his wife, Rosilee Anne Mick (Arbaney), were married in 1978. They would have celebrated 48 years of marriage in October.
Bob is survived by his wife Rosilee, his sons Robert Mick (Linda) and Kenneth Holgate (Suzanne), daughters Lori Mick, Toni Coburn and Ivy Fife (Darrell) and his nephew, Phillip Hemphill (Dorris). He had 12 grand children, 14 great-grandchildren (soon to be 15) and one great-grandchild (soon to be two).
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Louise and Aurie, his sister, Dolores Hemphill, and his daughter, Linda Mick.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Bob’s name to HopeWest at 3090 N. 12 St., Grand Junction, 81506, through Stewardship Coordinator Breanna Kramer.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Taylor Funeral Service and Crematory.
