Robert E. Tye “Bob” passed away on April 3, 2021 in his Chamita home. Bob was born on March 28, 1947 in Independence, Missouri to parents; Joyce Maxwell and Robert E, Tye.

Bob was best known for his witty sense of humor and simplistic lifestyle. His generosity of spirit helped many in need. He was an avid guitar player, brilliant machinist, and race car enthusiast. Bob’s love of auto racing and sense of humor were permanently on display, for on his front door there was a note reading, “Come in sit down shut up watch the race or go away.”  As a very intelligent and multi-skilled man, he passed on many of his passions to his loved ones. Many people will remember him as a fun character they were happy to know. He will be missed.

Bob was preceded in death by his mother; Joyce Maxwell, father; Robert E. Tye, daughter; Kelly Whitmore.

Bob was survived by his sons; Josh Tye (Liz), Matt Tye, Hugh Tye-Dias. He was also survived by his daughter; Katy Tye, grandchildren; Alicia Whitmore, Hayden Smith, Tye Smith, Emma Smith, Millie Smith, Olive Tye and great-grandchild; Coraline Whitmore.
