Robert’s Obituary Obituary Robert Steffler, 93 Robert Steffler, 93, passed away Thursday, April 11, 2019 at his home in Moreland, surrounded by his wife and family. Robert was born on October 14, 1925 in Devil’s Lake, North Dakota to Fred and Barbara Duchscher Steffler. He was the 8th child of a family of 10, 7 brothers and 2 sisters.

On September 25, 1946, Robert married Alice Lee Jensen in Basalt. He was a farmer and a rancher. His biggest dream was to own his own farm and have a family. He was successful at both. He passed the farm onto his daughter, Sharon and husband, Joe, keeping the farm in the family. Robert was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He enjoyed irrigating, farming, bowling and horseshoes. Fishing was a favorite pastime and family reunions were a very integral part of life.
