Robert Ledon Barragan Jr.

Bob passed away on his birthday surrounded by his family and

dear friends. On that day, family and friends celebrated his

birthday as Bob would have celebrated any birthday. He had

bravely undergone six months of intensive treatment for pancreatic

cancer.

Bob lived all his life in the Turlock and Modesto area. He attended

Sacred Heart Elementary and Turlock High School. He worked

in the food and market industry, most recently at Cost-Less Market.

He valued his job and he was known as a dedicated, hard-working

employee.

Bob was a fun loving man who rode motorcycles, enjoyed

watersports in the nearby lakes, had an interest in cars, and

viewing all sports. But in particular, he was a die-hard fan of

the Raiders.

He also possessed a wicked sense of humor, making all laugh

with his funny stories. He was known for cooking a mean

menudo and posole, making jumbo tamales, and he was a

master at the BBQ.

Bob was truly loved and adored by his family, and is survived

by his treasured children, Bobby and Phylicia. He will be

remembered and never forgotten by his siblings - Luisa, SP,

Liz and Lionel (Denise) his nieces and nephews, his aunts and

uncles, his cousins, his wide circle of friends, and his co-workers.

His loving companion, Edie Spetch will miss him dearly.

Bob and his family are grateful for the outstanding medical

attention he received from Emanuel Medical Center, California

Pacific Medical Center, UCSF, Memorial Hospital and the

Alexander Cohen Hospice House.

A Memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at

10:00 AM at Lakewood Funeral Home (Riverside Chapel), 900

Santa Fe Ave., Hughson, CA.

Donations can be made to Community Hospice, 4368 Spyres
