Robert “Bob” Lewis Hines

Robert “Bob” Lewis Hines, 56, of Lefors, passed away on Monday, March 9, 2026.

Born on November 9, 1969, in Odessa, New York, Bob was the youngest of three children. He lived in New York until age 15, when he moved to Texas to meet his father. He married Katherine Wyatt on July 12, 1995. The couple lived in Texas until 1997, when they moved to Walsh, Colorado, and began their family. In 2006 they returned to Lefors, where they made their home until his passing.

Bob was a strong-minded man who stood firmly by his convictions. His greatest priority was caring for the children in his life, who were his whole world. He cherished days at the lake fishing and hunting, spending time with friends and family, riding his motorcycle, and playing music loud enough to tease the neighbors. He loved to cook and experiment with new recipes, especially his Brazilian steak, which he prepared with his grandchildren at his side, playfully guarding his secret ingredients.

He began working at B&G Electric in 2006, where he formed deep friendships that became family. Known affectionately as “Screaming Bob” for his lively morning greetings before his first cup of coffee, he became a respected teacher in the electrical field, mentoring many interns and sharing his knowledge generously. On weekends he devoted himself to his grandsons, teaching them to build houses and repair motorcycles and four-wheelers. He spent nearly all his free time with the children, watching over them and creating joyful memories.

Bob is survived by his wife of 30 years, Katherine Hines; daughters Jacie Hines and Cassie Hines; grandsons Jasper Hines and Landon Scott-Hines; siblings Larry Hines and Lori Brown; and the many “adopted” grandchildren who became family through lifelong friendships.
