Robert B. Mead, 59, of Denver, CO, passed away on November 16, 2025, after a short illness. Known to many as Bob, he had a deep love for the outdoors—whether mountain biking, riding his motorcycles, or spending time with his beloved dogs.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Bob and Sherry Mead, and his niece, Hilary McCue. He is survived by his sisters, Melanie Mead of Phoenix, AZ, and Micki Telgenhoff of Cedar Rapids, IA; his nephews, Kris McCue (Emily Dunn) of Denver, CO, and Bryan Telgenhoff (Jamie) of Newhall, IA; and his niece, Kari Yenter (JT) of Aurora, CO.
A celebration of life for Bob will be planned for next year; more information to follow.
Bob was a longtime volunteer at Humane Colorado. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to your local animal rescue organization in Bob’s memory.
