Robert M. Seymour (Bob) born July 29, 1939, died February 17, 2024 at 84 years of age.
Bob was born and grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. He graduated from Benson High School in 1957 and served as a United States Marine from 1959 to 1961. After that time, Bob spent much time traveling the US from Wenatchee, Washington, to Bossier, Louisiana – meandering across the states gave him great joy and is something he spoke of often. Bob later settled in Lincoln where he and Kathi were married in 1979. Bob spent much of this time working in car and shoe sales and ended his career in security services. He fully retired in 2018, enjoying his many years in Omaha with his wife and grandchildren.
Bob’s spiritual journey was clear to all who knew him. He was a principled man of integrity and truth. He will be remembered for his enormous heart, wonderful sense of humor, ability to “razz”, outgoing nature, generosity, loyalty, and bravery.
Bob loved his wife and family more than anything in this world… except maybe La Casa Pizza and Kathi’s meatloaf. Sincerely, Bob had a heart for his grandchildren, family, friends, and his AA colleagues. When his time came, he was full of love for those who went before him, and those he leaves behind. He will be missed dearly.
Bob would say, ‘Please don’t cry or be sad that I’m gone, instead, be happy that I was here…or maybe you can cry a little bit, after all, I have passed away.’
We know he is happy and dancing in heaven, probably clean-shaven with fabulous, meticulously combed hair. Love you forever.
Bob is preceded in death by his parents, William and Mariann Seymour, and siblings William (Bill) Seymour and Ann Marie Chaney.
Bob is survived by his wife, Kathleen J. Seymour, five children, Tammy Kluver (Jaime Johnson); Pam Gordon (Brian) grandchildren Kevin Lofquist and David Gordon; Michael Kluver (Lee) grandchildren Micaela Kluver, Jade Costea, Savanna Kluver, and Tessa Kluver; Lynette Vaughn (Michael) grandchildren Paul K. Barnes, Ella Barnes, Allyson Vaughn, Jake Vaughn; and Julie Kluver (Brad Martin) grandchildren Tristan Martin, Nathan Martin; and six great-grandchildren.

Bob was a kind, funny, and interesting person and I’ll miss seeing him at our family gatherings. My deepest sympathies to Kathi and all the children and grandchildren. You will be missed dearly Bob!
Dear Kathi and family. I too share in mourning the passing of Bob. As you know, Bob was a one-of-a-kind personality with an enormous love for laughter. There were few limits to what he might do for a good laugh. Truly it is hard to think of him without smiling in memory of some of his “razz” schemes. On the serious side, Bob was a great friend to many and even a subtle and humble mentor as opportunities arose. Although he was quick to point out his flaws, he sure seemed to figure out what was important in life. As you noted, he loved God, Kathie, family, food, and the simple things in life., including his pets (minks, birds, dogs, etc.). I will miss him. Thank you for providing the streaming service so I can share in this celebration of Bob. . Best to you and the whole family. Paul.
