In Loving Memory of Robert Ray “Bob” Day
June 7, 1943 – August 22, 2026
The Ute Stampede Rodeo family mourns the loss of Bob Day—a devoted friend, volunteer, mentor, and lifelong champion of rodeo and western tradition.
Bob served his community generously as a 4-H advisor, high school rodeo advisor for more than 30 years, member of the Nephi Nebo Posse Riding Club for over 50 years, and a valued member of the Ute Stampede Committee for more than 25 years.
He especially loved caring for the cowboys, often rising early to cook and serve breakfast. To Bob, rodeo, horses, cowboys, and the West were more than passions—they were a way of life.
Our heartfelt condolences are with Bob’s family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
