Robert Paul Crockett, Jr., 38, died Aug. 19, 2007, in a fishing
accident at Willow Creek. Robert was born Oct. 18, 1968, in Yuma,
Ariz., and grew up in Arizona
and Alaska. Robert always enjoyed the outdoors and had a passion for
fishing. All avid fly fishermen, he and his father and brother spent
many hours teasing fish from Alaska's rivers and streams. Robert's
other great passion was dogs. Robert worked with his father and
stepmother leading dog mushing tours through their business, Chugach
Express Dog Sled Tours, out of Girdwood. For the past three years, he
managed the boarding kennel at The Dog Wash Resort tending to pets for
a loyal following of clients. Robert was also a trained EMT and worked
as a safety consultant for crews filming in Alaska. Robert's training
often put him in the position of rescuer and he was always ready to
respond to emergency situations.
His family writes: "Rob loved to go camping with his dogs, Rudy and
Lily, and fishing with his family. When he was casting on the Kenai or
mushing in the meadow in Girdwood, you could see he was in his element.
He loved to fly and had a great interest in photography. He loved sushi
and we always chuckled when we saw him wearing his sandals in winter.
Robert was a kind person and always had a big smile and a sparkle in
his eye."
Robert is survived by his father and stepmother, Bob and Marsha
Crockett; mother and stepfather, Peggy and Bob Hoffman of Laughlin,
Nev.; sisters, Robin Larson of San Diego, Calif., Christina Crockett
and boyfriend Ryan Bacon of Anchorage; brother Bryan Crockett and
girlfriend Ambrosia Bowlus of Anchorage; former spouse and best friend,
Tammy Crockett, and son Dustin Ryan of Anchorage; niece, Angel
Koitzsch; and nephews, Tyler and Hunter Larson, and Cooper Lisonbee;
his dog, Lily; and many friends and relatives in Anchorage, Nevada,
Utah and Texas.
