Robert Clinton Lacapa, better known as Bob, went to be with his Lord on December 7, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona at the age of 69. Bob's life began November 15, 1954 in Phoenix, Arizona.

As a young adult, he began his career as a wild land firefighter with the Fort Apache Agency of Whiteriver, Arizona. He went on to receive his Bachelors in Forestry from Northern Arizona University. Since, he has held many titles in Fire Management, to Forest Manager, to Superintendent with the Bureau of Indian Affairs before retiring in 2016.

Bob loved his career but always made quality time for his children and grandchildren, traveling to support their royalty and sport endeavors. All his married life, he cared for and deeply loved his wife's family. In return, they loved and cared for him. Bob was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and brother. His departure leaves a great void.
