OBITUARY
Robert Wayne Killion, 75 of Glenwood, IA, passed away on April 10, 2022 at Hillcrest Health and Rehab in Bellevue, NE.
Robert was born on September 20, 1946 in Council Bluffs, IA, the son of Wayne and Waunetta (Scott) Killion. He graduated from high school and furthered his education, receiving his associate's degree. He served 6 years in the Army National Guard in Texas, Colorado, and Nebraska. Robert worked as a HVAC mechanic in the heating and cooling industry and retired from the Glenwood Resource Center after 25 years as a supervisor over transportation and custodial depts.
Robert and Dallas Aline Cross were united in marriage on October 21, 1967. They were blessed with a son Chris. Family was first and foremost to Rob, he loved following his son's athletic pursuits and was a constant presence in his granddaughters' many interests. Rob loved a good practical joke and was known to play his fair share. He was fond of devils food cookies and a good cup of coffee. He taught his granddaughters to fish with the pink fishing pole and happily sat through any animated movie - with a big bowl of magic popcorn - no matter how many times he'd seen it before. He always tried to pay the bill and would sneak out to your car and fill up the tank when you weren't looking. Rob saved coffee cans full of change, much to the chagrin of the bank tellers who had to count it. He loved his little grand dogs, always spoiling them with secret pocket stashes of treats.
Rob always spoke the truth whether or not you were interested in hearing it. He valued hard work, honesty and loyalty.
Robert was preceded in death by his parents and older brother Roger.
Robert is survived by his beloved wife Dallas of Glenwood; son Chris (Denee) Killion of Malvern, IA; granddaughters, Sloane, Aleah, and Molly Killion; sister Peg Leet of Glenwood; many nieces and nephews; and a host of friends.
