This world just lost one of the greatest people of all time, I am sobbing a river of tears today mourning the exit of our dear Uncle Indian Bob, from this earthly plane and celebrating his transition to a more peaceful existence in the spirit world. May the sea of tears being cried for you right now Bobby carry you swiftly toward greener pastures
I’m burning the last bundle of sage you gave us the last time we saw you and thinking of all the people who are sitting around a fire telling stories of the wild life you lived.
Bob you were one of the most generous people I’ve ever met, and would literally give someone the shirt off of your back or the last nickel you had to your name, may we all carry with us some small fraction of you’re generosity to pay forward to the people
You truly showed up in service to others in every moment you could, always lending a good listening ear, a story, a joke or a beautiful gift. You dedicated your whole life to being of service to other people.
You sacrificed your own flesh and blood for the people through Sundancing year after year, praying for this living earth to keep turning, for the waters to fall from the sky, and for the people to have what they need to be nourished.
Thank you to all the people who have helped take care of Bob, given him a home to live in, a good conversation to sink into, a listening ear, a space for him to show up and share his gifts, thank you all so much for showing up for our uncle and elder and giving him purpose, and making the last years of his life truly magical ones to remember
You will live on in all your glory in our hearts Bob, will think of you every time we burn sage, give a gift, drink black coffee, or make a spirit plate, you are all around us now, watching over your hundreds of nieces and nephews across the globe, keeping them safe and reminding them hey, “if I don’t see you in the future, I’ll see you in the pasture” Rest in Peace Bob, we love you so much, you’re the best uncle any of us could have ever asked for.
