Robert Lynn Wetzel, our Husband, Daddy, Son, Brother, Uncle, Cousin, Nephew, and Best Friend finished his 16 year battle with brain cancer early on Sunday morning, November 22nd surrounded by loving family in his own home in Mt. Pleasant, Utah.

Robert was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Sheryl (Candy) Hunter and Craig Wetzel on April 13, 1977.  He loved his childhood and proudly spoke of the places he had lived, including with his grandparents.  He always spoke fondly of growing up with his brothers, Cory (Stephanie) Hunter, Casey (Kirsten) Hunter, Curtis Hunter, Jeff Hunter and his step-father, David Hunter who raised him.

In more recent years Robert reconnected with his father Craig Wetzel and brothers Tyler (Emily) Wetzel and Jared Wetzel.  He enjoyed spending time on the beach at Bear Lake with his father Craig and brothers and passing his love of the water on to his children.  Robert has always loved the water and was an excellent swimmer from an early age and a talented guitar player with a passion for any instrument really.  He was his absolute happiest in service of others.  He loved silliness and laughter.  Robert had a passion for beer, guns, politics and brownies.  He had a quiet and respectful love for animals of any kind.

Robert married JaNell Kunz on September 2, 2005 in Taylorsville, Utah where they started their first home together.  They have two children, Robert "Ty" Wetzel and Samantha Lynn Wetzel.  He grew to love all of his nieces and nephews very much and enjoyed spending time with them and to see them happy.

Robert graduated from Lehi High School in 1995 and later attended ITT Technical Institute where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Engineering with honors.  He worked as an Electrical Engineer for several years, but always had a passion for construction/carpentry and eventually returned to it.  He was a master of the trade and spent the last five years of his life renovating their Mt. Pleasant home with the help of his kids, several nephews, and his best friend and favorite co-worker, his brother-in-law, Heath Kunz.

Services will be held on Monday, November 30, 2020 at the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, 800 South State Street (Access from Hawk Blvd).  A viewing will be held from 10:00 - 10:45 AM, followed by a family prayer. Graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM immediately following the family prayer.

It is Robert's wishes that everyone come to his service (that he didn't want) casual and comfortable.  Please feel free to wear jeans and a Metallica (or 80's rock) tee shirt if you have one.  Dress warm as all of the service will be outside.

A special thank you to everyone for the love, kindness and compassion you showed while caring for his needs in his last days was beyond amazing!
