My dad is an angel

When I wrote my Fathers Day post, I never could have guessed the next thing I would write would be his obituary. 

Robert E. (Reb) Breinholt 01000100:01000001:01000100

 

Reb Breinholt, 66, passed away June 18, 2013 in West Valley City, Utah. Our loving dad had a human heart full of super-human love. In his 66 years he gave at least 132 years worth of love to all he met. Born November 6, 1946 in Salt Lake City, Utah, son of Don Verle and Gladys Breinholt. Married Marsha Henrichsen June 9, 1969 in the Salt Lake Temple. His sparkly eyes and infectious smile helped him connect with everyone. He died unexpectedly of a heart attack and has left a void that can never be filled. He was a husband, father, grandpa, example, leader, teacher, tinkerer, Valentine Fairy, mentor, computer collector, fixer and a survivor of colon cancer and liver cancer. He was our super hero. He served an LDS mission to Frankfurt, Germany and had a lifelong love of all things German. He packed more life and love into his 66 years than should have been possible. The world is a better place because of his life. He saw good in everyone and he made us all want to be a little better. He is survived by his wife Marsha; children: Jill, Scott, Jeff, Nancy, Megan and their spouses; 12 grandkids; parents; 9 siblings and their spouses; and hundreds of others who considered him their second dad.
