Robert (Robbie) L. Switzler Sr., our beloved Dad, Husband and Brother, set off on his long haul beyond the Dark Side of the Moon on December 16, 2024. He follows his mother Lois DeBacker, sister Kimberly Scott and father Charles Switzler up the lyrical Stairway. He is survived by his devoted wife of 40 years Beverly Switzler. Together they leaned into the turns on his Harley Davidson away to see their children and to the wild redwoods and outdoors where their love grew.His direct words of hard-earned wisdom will be remembered by his children Dawn Ansell, Shayne Weston, Ella Campbell, Corin Roth and his namesake RJ -Robert Louis Switzler Jr. He leaves behind his sister and brother-in-law Charlene and Dwayne Reichlin, and brothers Kevin and Kurtis DeBacker, the nieces he loved so much Shelli Lee, Aimee Bjork, Heather Tillson, Blair Beale, Jamie Morris and Kristin, Taylor and Peyton DeBacker; with nephews Christopher Morris, who deserves special mention and George Graham. He will be missed by his grandchildren Tristin Hawkins, Mallory Peck, Skylar Roth, Gabrielle Roth, Finn Ansell and Aiden Roth. His great grandson Kaison will also remember the unforgettable man he just barely had the honor to meet. Along with his first loves Bev and Harley (and of course, the 49ers), he enjoyed working locally as a logger and truck driver, and fisherman from Crescent City to Alaska.His presence will be felt by all of us as we move forth temporarily without him. By request, no services so that we will remember the indelible mark he leaves our lives; reunion above leaves closure unnecessary. We miss you very much -so much- and we are marked and will never forget you. Until God and Heaven, teach the Angels how to sing the Blues.
