Robert Carl Standiford, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend passed away peacefully Jan. 31, 2025. He was born in Snowflake, to Buster and Juanita Standiford on Nov. 22, 1948.
Robert was known throughout the community for being hard-working, compassionate and strong-willed. He had a brother, Kelly Staniford, and a cousin, Margret Hansen Wisner. They grew up together in Holbrook. Robert enjoyed hunting and fishing more than anything. He had very fond memories of eating anything his mother would make for him.
He met Judi Wilkinson “making laps” (driving from Wayside to Dairy Queen). Before he met Judi all he knew about her was that her nickname was “Mustang Sally.” Once he met her, he had to court her because he knew there was something about her. Five months prior to his passing he and Judi celebrated their 57-year anniversary.
He is survived by wife, Judi; children, Ryan and Kristyn; grandchildren, Mariah, Chandler, and Alex; great-grandchildren, LaKyrah and LaMyah; and his brother, Kelly.
He will be dearly missed.
A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m., on Friday, Feb. 14, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Joseph City.
