Robert Gene "Bobby" Dyck passed away peacefully at the Halstead Health and Rehab Center in Halstead, Kansas on Sunday, March 6, 2022.

Bob was born to Alvin and Luella (Peters) Dyck on July 27, 1950 at the Salem Hospital in Hillsboro, Kansas. During his young life the family moved various places around Kansas. Bob attended Meadowlark grade school east of Moundridge, Kansas and Moundridge High School.

On March 30, 1974 he married Mary Ruth, and to this union their son Cody Gene was born in 1990. The three moved east of Moundridge to the Dyck home place and later to Burrton Kansas where Bob still lived. Bob started his work career in western Kansas working for Dave Goering. He then began work for Rhodes Construction and then OTR cross country trucking for Lechington, Dahlsten and Crete.

Bob always had a smile on his face with a cigar in the mouth and a joke was never far behind. He had a job of dog walking after retirement. What a perfect job for someone who knew no stranger. He was a jokester, talker, nascar and chiefs fan. Greatest enjoyment was being with Cody going to a rodeo or fishing. An ideal day was going fishing with Cody or anyone he could get to go. Cody and his dad spent a lot of time together and Bob loved to cook out on the grill for family and friends. The more the better and how delicious it was!

Bob's parents both passed away, Alvin in February of 2001 and Luella in December of 2006.

Bob leaves a son Cody Dyck of Burrton Ks, sister Jeanette Dyck of Great Bend Ks, and a brother Gerald Dyck of McPherson Ks; many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who will miss Bob's humor!

A memorial has been set for Kansas American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 171335, Kansas City, Ks 66117  or https://donate3.cancer.org,  or in care of Baker Funeral Home, Valley Center Ks.
