Robert Slagle was born in Ibague, Colombia, on Sept. 27, 1987, and became part of the Slagle family in 1988 in Juneau, Alaska. Robert was bright and curious during his Juneau school years. He loved soccer and played from kindergarten through high school. He was fiercely loyal to his teammates and friends.
Skateboarding and rapping were among his passions. It tied in with his quirky sense of humor and quick smile. He attended college in Oregon while working summers in commercial fishing and construction. He settled in Renton, Washington, and loved walking or skateboarding along the Cedar River pathway. Robert remained an avid reader and generally had a book in easy reach.
Robert is survived by his parents Tom (TJ) and Nancy; his brother Joe Slagle; sister Jodie Sykes; as well as his nephew William Sykes and niece Jancy Sykes, who he loved dearly. His cat Randy held a very special place in his heart.
He passed away on July 17, 2024, at his home in Renton. He will be dearly missed. There will be a celebration of Robert’s life at the Parkdale Grange Hall in Parkdale, Oregon, on Sept. 27 (his birthday) from 10 a.m. to noon. RSVPs are appreciated by emailing njslagle@gmail.com.
