Bob was born May 15, 1961 to his parents, Mathew and Beverly Shea in Wadena. He graduated from Staples High School with the Class of 1979. Bob was a man with an old soul, known for his artistic nature and his unique ability to turn almost anything into something meaningful. He loved all things music and had a deep appreciation for creativity and self-expression. He also appreciated old-time movies and music.

Bob also found great peace in tending to his outdoor flowers, which thrived under his care - a reflection of his patience, attentiveness and gentle spirit. In his working years, Bob found special joy in his time as a home health aide, especially cherishing the visits and conversations with the older individuals he cared for. Above all, Bob loved his family deeply. He had a kind and gentle spirit and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Bob is survived by three sisters, Susan Shea, Karen (Glen) Marr and Ellen (Neil) Kroger; two brothers, Tim (Jan) Shea and Kevin (Anita) Shea, along with many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Arrangements are by the  Brenny Family funeral Chapel, Staples.
