Robert (Bob) James Nuskiewicz was born on Aug. 16, 1961, in Crescent City, Calif. He moved to Coeur d’Alene in 1986. Bob went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Nov. 2, 2021, surrounded by family and friends.

Growing up, he had a love and passion for the great outdoors. He was born to hunt and fish. He enjoyed hunting trips with his dad, family and friends. In addition to hunting, he had a passion for fishing on clear running waters. No matter the subject, Bob always had a story to tell. Whether hunting or fishing, carpentry or life, he could tell stories like no one else with his attention to detail and his animated nature. When Bob told a story, people wanted to listen.

Bob worked in many occupations with much success. He was a skilled logger for many years. Later he became a master craftsman. The pride he took in his work was evident.

Bob had a positive influence on everyone he met. There were few who came in contact with him that didn't learn something from him. He had a way of touching someone's heart with an everlasting impression.

Bob was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, whose faith was infectious. He spurred others on in their walk with Christ. One of his last words to everyone was "keep the faith."

Family was very important to him; he loved his family. Bob is preceded in death by his parents, Stan and Dorothy Nuszkiewicz, brother Jerry Nuszkiewicz and his wife, Jan Nuszkiewicz.
