Robert "Bob" Kenneth Perez, age 84, passed away peacefully at his home in West Branch surrounded by his family on July 30, 2023. Bob was born on March 22, 1939, in Keshena to the late Camilo and Mary (Kinepoway) Perez. On October 10, 1959, he was united in marriage to Anita Weso in Keshena. He was a self-employed logger until retiring. Bob had a strong work ethic and was an excellent provider for his family. After retirement, Bob bought a stump grinder and ground stumps until he was 81 years old. Bob was Legendary, a master woodsman and hunter. Bob enjoyed bear hunting, deer hunting, fishing and especially fly fishing. He was a skilled tracker that assisted tribal police on many occasions. In his last few months, he enjoyed watching hummingbirds and wildlife in his front yard. Bob's grandchildren were the apple of his eye and they thought he walked on water. His sense of humor was evident in the way he teased and played with all his hellraisers.
