Robert Lee Fain Jr.

On Saturday, January 16th, 2021, Robert L. Fain, Jr., loving husband, father and grandfather, passed away at the age of 62, in Clovis, CA.

Robert was born on April 9, 1958, in Pittsburg, CA, to Pat (Stowers) and Robert L. Fain, Sr., the third of their four children.

After receiving his AA degree in Criminal Justice, he decided instead to follow in his fathers footsteps and join Ironworkers Local 155.

After working in the field for many years, Robert then moved to the apprenticeship school where he was first an instructor, then the Apprenticeship Coordinator for Fresno, Sacramento and Reno, NV for 10+ years. Robert also volunteered his time coaching cross country and track and field at Woods Elementary School in the Clovis Unified School District for fifteen years.

Robert is survived by the love of his life of more than 28 years, Thaddea, his children, Jessica and her partner DJ, Robert III and his wife Alison, Kimberly and Noland, three grandchildren, Catherine, Sequoyah and Ivan, his mother Pat, and his beloved dog Bella.

Funeral services will be held at 11:30am on Wednesday February 10th, at Loma Vista Community Church. Due to Covid, attendance is limited and will be live streamed (www.youtube.com Loma Vista Community Church) so that everyone will be able to celebrate Robert’s life. CDC guidelines will be followed and masks and social distancing will be strictly enforced.

The family requests that you wear a white shirt, jeans and vans/converse type sneakers, as Robert was always one for comfort.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Robert’s name to ASPCA or Miss Winkles Pet Adoption Center or volunteer your time in the community doing what you love.
