Robert Von Essen Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Robert Von Essen (Sacramento, California), born in Bakersfield, California, who passed away on August 15, 2025, at the age of 64, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Robert Von Essen to show support.

As we bid Robert farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Robert is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He is survived by: his wife Leanne; his sons, Evan and Harrison; his mother Esther; and his siblings, Christine, Julie, Kevin and Ken. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) (https://pancan.org) in Bob's honor, to support those fighting similar battles.
