Bob was a well-traveled and high-minded spirit whose footsteps, whether in cowboy boots or his preferred sandals, took him through chapters as a rebellious oldest son of a large South Dakota homesteading family, to the University of South Dakota in the 60s, to the University of Denver Law School, and on to pursuits as an attorney, rancher, pilot, raconteur, and a life novels are written about.
Whether defending his clients or his ranch in Mexico, hopping trains, or hitchhiking into his seventies, Bob will be remembered for his strong beliefs, equally strong opinions, passion, recklessness, and (mostly) healthy contempt for convention and authority.
Bob led a prolific life, both literally and figuratively, well past his expected expiration date considering his disregard for his personal health and safety, and due in large part to the daily attention of his daughter Josie, cardiologist Dr. Navin Kedia, his dedicated patient healthcare worker, Olivia Gamez, and his sister Mary Jane, who helped nurse him back to health after triple bypass surgery, for all of whom the family is greatly appreciative.
Bob will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by his beloved children, Reason Mines, Adrian Mines, Michael Mines, Josie Mines, Tanner Delannoy, Eli Mines and Levi Mines, his grandchildren, his surviving siblings, Mary Jane Nelson, Thomas Mines, David Mines, Nancy Hansen, Mark Mines, and Brian Mines. Bob's passing is preceded by that of his parents, George and Genevieve Mines, his brothers, Roger and Paul, and his son, Zachary.
Masses will be said in his name in Bisbee, AZ; Rapid City, SD; and Coleman, SD (dates to be shared once finalized); he will be celebrated at a Sun Dance in Porcupine, SD with close relatives and elders in July of 2021, and friends and family are encouraged to continue sharing Bob Mines stories in his memory at https://www.mykeeper.com/profile/RobertMines/. There are lots to tell.
