Coburn, Robert Vance
Robert Vance "Pino" Coburn Robert Vance Coburn slipped away peacefully April
22, 2005 surrounded by family who loved him most. Vance was welcomed to earth
by his mom and dad and his big brothers, Chris and Corey, on December 28,
1980. They welcomed their baby sister, Brittney, five years later. He attended
schools in Davis County and graduated from Viewmont High School. He was known
to many growing up as "the Tigger", "Vancer Dancer", "Vancin Around, Vinnie",
and known most by his friends as "Pino" with that twinkle in his eyes, that
would get lost in his grin. His family grew to include his step families and
little brothers. He always had the most fun. He loved to see how fast his new
shoes could run. He gained great hand strength by creaming everyone in
Nintendo, which later became valuable in his golf game grip. He had a great
outside shot playing hoops. He loved flying down any mountain strapped to his
boards and jumping off the cliffs at Lake Powell. He loved his dogs Cinnamon,
Har ley and Hobie; they knew he was always good for a handout. He had worked
for Oakridge Country Club in grounds keeping to be near the game he loved
most. He loved the tunes of Dave Mathews, Jack Johnson and Jimmy Buffet when
no one else knew who they were. Vance loved everyone, by the time he finished
a transaction at the counter for a car rental agency the customer would want
to take him home with them. If you spent any time with him at all, you felt
like you were his best friend. He accepted everyone as his friend and offered
love and support in any difficult situation. He accepted everyone's
differences, weaknesses and shortcomings. He always offered his help. He
valued others and reminded them of their great worth by his unconditional love
for them. He taught us charity just being in his presence. He gained a witness
of the power of prayer in his life and knew Heavenly Father was aware of his
struggles. Vance is survived by many who were fortunate to know and love him
and he will be missed greatly; his family includes his mom Marsha Case and her
husband Craig, his dad Terry Coburn and his wife Rebecca. His siblings: Chris
(Ann), Corey and Brittney Coburn, his little brothers: Chandler, Brennan, and
Austin Coburn, his step brothers and sisters: Jake, Christer, Rick, Nathan and
Kelli Case, Tiffany Weltman and Shannon LaPlant. He was preceded in death by
his grandparents, Marie and Bob Nilson, Welton Coburn, and Lendell Perry.

extended illness. Our Queen was born April 15, 1959. Mom and her siblings were

voice. Many times she would provide comfort by singing to us kids through many
hardships. It's hard to know if the Lord has appointed her lead Soprano or
Master Chef? One thing is certain, God's army has taken back a very brave and
proven le ader. Her will to fight and ability to overcome was at times
unbelievable, limited only by a mortal body. Momma when we say our prayers and
talk to our angel's we will now be talking to you. Mom is survived by her
parents, Rondle and Fay and Elmer and Ruth Moore, her husband, her children,
Tharren (Jacqeline) Ross, Michell (John) Manley, Steven (Asano) Ross, Jennifer
