Robert David Poole

On Monday, November 9, 2026, Robert “Bob” David Poole of Kuna, Idaho, returned peacefully to his heavenly home at the age of 66, where he was lovingly welcomed by his mother, father, and son, Brycen David Poole.

Born on September 30, 1960, in Portland, Oregon, to Michaelyn Drenner and Gary Poole, along with his siblings, Dan and Kathy. Bob had a vibrant spirit—playing sports, embracing the outdoors while camping, and making unforgettable memories alongside his brother, Dan.

Following high school, Bob dedicated two years of service as a missionary in Brazil for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an experience that shaped his lifelong devotion to faith and service. Upon his return, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Brigham Young University.

While pursuing his education, Bob met and married his best friend and the love of his life, Lee Ann Farris. Together, they navigated all of life’s beautiful journeys, residing across four states and raising seven wonderful children.

A devoted, lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Bob lived as a faithful disciple of Christ, serving diligently in every calling he held. His devotion to family was unmatched—proudly displayed on a license plate reading “4EVRDAD.” He was always eager to spend time with his children and earned the title of the absolute greatest grandfather, constantly playing on the floor with his grandkids, cheering loudly at their events, and taking genuine interest in everything they loved. Bob lived by his favorite signature phrase, “Life is good”—a true reflection of his gentle warmth, gratitude, and optimistic outlook.

Bob is survived by his beloved wife, Lee Ann; children Aubrey Poole, Rochelle Wright, Tiffany (Ryan) Wilkie, Joshua (Shelby) Poole, Caroline Poole, Rhett (Blair) Poole, and Lauren (Xion) Lord; along with five cherished grandchildren, Monroe Wright and Roman, Jessa, Eve and Elyas Thatcher, all of whom he adored.

A visitation will be held on Friday, November 13, 2026, from 6 to 8 pm at Summers Funeral Home at 3629 Ustick Road, Meridian, Idaho 83646, where you are welcome to share a favorite memory of Bob.

The funeral service will be held Saturday, November 14th, at 11:00 am with a viewing at 10:00am at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 3305 West Kuna Road, Kuna, Idaho 83634.

Burial will be held in Ireland, West Viriginia where he will rest in the Mick family cemetery with his son, Brycen, and beside Lee Ann, upon her passing.
