A great-grandfather to Maeli, Beau, Nora, Lila, PJ, Toma, AJ, Sunny, Stone, Dallin, Klay, and Benny. A loving brother to Linda Lyons, and the dear son of the late RO Lyons & Brunell Allen. Robert was a family man to say the least, and would do anything for them.

Bob was born and raised in Florida and was active in his family’s business of farming, raising tobacco, and watermelon. Growing up, Bob loved fishing and had many fond memories spent with the Lyons and Deloach families.

He served in the U.S. Navy and went on to be a head football coach in Mayo, Florida, and Georgia before relocating to Utah and starting his family and business, Lyons & Associates. He went on to be a successful insurance Executive for many years. While running the insurance business with his wife, he picked up many hobbies, which included running a ranch in White Rocks Canyon and being the head coach of several of his children's sports teams.

Bob dreamed of retiring in Florida and did just that. Spending all his time with family who lived here and those who came to visit.
