Val Keith Robison
In Loving Memory
I grew up with Val and his family in Helena. So sad to hear about this. He was a good friend and mentor. Always made me laugh and he spoke often about his love for his grandkids.
Narlene and family
Val was such a big influence in the Ute conference little league family. My family really enjoyed his happy personality and big smile for everyone. He was always so excited to see and be with the little league teams.
It meant a lot to us when he came to my husbands wake, so thoughtful. I know John thought a lot of Val. We are all thinking of you and sending prayers to help you thru this difficult time in your lives.
Debbie Hanley and family
This is a tremendous shock to me. I was fortunate enough to work with and for Val for close to 40 years. He was a great man and I was fortunate to know him.
Val was a huge part of the reason why I joined Sunturn in 2007. We clicked immediately and shared a love of baseball. I grew up going to Fenway, so although we were foes on the diamond, we had a great friendship that included a lot of friendly jabs! I looked up to him as a trusted colleague and a valued mentor. Over the years, we kept in touch even when career choices took us down separate paths. He always made a point to keep in touch and most recently he told me he was proud of me. That meant the world to me, especially now. His greatest achievement was being a Dad and Grandfather. That was evident in the many stories he shared. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. Thinking of all of you.
Val has always been one of my favorite people. I had the privilege of living across the street from the Robisons growing up. As I became great friends with Bryson, I had the opportunity to do a lot of awesome activites with Val and the rest of the family.
Swimming, playing baseball, football, basketball, going to Lake Powell, attending countless BYU football games including watching BYU beat #1 Miami, taking trips to the dump, learning how to water ski, golfing, playing Uno in the mobile home and countless other activities with Val and family are memories I will never forget.
I always admired how Val was as a father and knew I wanted to be just like him. Val always treated me like I was one of the family and not just another kid. From tee ball to helping me make the allstar team in baseball, Val was a great coach and mentor.
Thank you Val for everything. I am the kind of man and father today because of your example.
To Narline, Denis, Denise, Mitch, Zane, and Val's other Family members who I have not met.
I want to pass along my deepest sympathy and condolences at this sad time. I met Val in Denver, where we grew up. Denis was my best friend, and Val as the younger brother was a large part of my memories. Val always had a huge smile and an outgoing personality to go with it. He always made me happy to see him. I think Val was in 8th garage when the Robison's moved away from Denver to Cheyenne, then Helena. My brother and I visited Denis and Val in their new homes, and always maintained the friendship. We even roomed together at college. I loved seeing Val launch his life as he married Narline and they raised their family. We never saw each other much after that, but Denis always shared his family stories that included Val. I never went to Bear Lake with the Robison's, but felt like I was there whenever the stories over the years were told.
This loss to each of you must be nearly unbearable. But as I've felt sadness over Val's passing, I have remembered his smile. It has brought happy thoughts of times together with Val and the memories. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
John Christensen
We are heartbroken to hear about the loss of Val. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family in this tough time. Live in his memories as he touched all of you in such a positive way. May he rest in peace!
