Robert Arthur Fox

Robert A. Fox, 59, of Gilbert Arizona, passed away on May 22, 2026.

Bob served his country as a United States Marine during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He was deeply proud of his service and treasured the lifelong bonds he formed with his fellow Marines.

Following his service, he spent over 20 years as a business owner and subcontractor specializing in acoustical ceiling installation. He built a reputation for quality craftsmanship, honesty, and reliability that earned the respect of clients, employees, and colleagues in the construction industry.

He was an avid gamer, comic book collector, ancient coin restorer, and a devoted UFC enthusiast who rarely missed watching a fight. He enjoyed connecting with others through his hobbies and sharing his interests with those around him.

Bob had a natural affinity for animals and was devoted to the Rottweiler breed. He shared his heart with many loyal companions throughout his life. Family and friends find comfort in knowing that he has been reunited with the five beloved "Rotties" who went before him.

He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Deborah (Greeson) Fox; his daughter, Lindsay Fox (Dylan Bacon) and a precious granddaughter; his son, Brenton Fox (Bibianna); his mother, Jean (Griffy) Damron; his sister, Sheila (Kelly) Madrigal; and his brother, Jason Kelly.

He was preceded in death by his father, David E. Fox; his paternal grandparents, Robert L. Fox and Shirley (Jacobson) Fox; and his maternal grandparents, Clarence Griffy and Lillian (Blehm) Ferrer.

Family, friends, and fellow Marines are invited to join in remembering Bob, sharing fond memories, and enjoying breakfast burritos—his favorite breakfast—at a casual gathering on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. at the Fox family home, 21313 S. 154th St., Gilbert, AZ 85298. Bob wouldn't have wanted anyone dressed up, so leave the formal attire at home. T-shirts (silly, obnoxious, USMC, Marvel, UFC, or otherwise), shorts, and comfortable clothes are encouraged.

Semper Fidelis
