Dodds, Robert Noel

Robert "Bob"

Noel Dodds, 64, of Albuquerque,

NM, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 19, 2016 at his home.

Bob was born December 20,

1951 in Livermore, CA, to Marjorie and Doug Steele. Bob grew up spending his time camping, hunting, fishing, and taking pride in his animals in the Northern California hills, which were his greatest joys. Bob always had a love for the great outdoors and nature.

Bob graduated from Livermore High School in 1970, and went to work in his passions of HVAC, carpentry, and electrical trades with Hexcel Skis, Intel, and ARCA. I think it’s safe to say Bob was one of the hardest working men we knew.

Bob was loyal, kind, compassionate, big hearted, and always loved a good laugh. There was nothing he loved more than his family.

Bob is survived by his wife, Tanya Dodds; his son, Brett Dodds; and four grandchildren, Kyle, Kaulana, Saige and Briez; his daughter, Jackie Dodds, his daughter, Jamie Monty and son-in-law, Jason Monty; and his two grandchildren, Jayse and Jules; his daughter, Bobbie Richard, and his son-in-law, Steven Richard; and three grandchildren, Adriana, Lauren, and Cruz; his step-son, Jarred Scheffler, his wife, Shannon; and two grandchildren, Aria and Elis; his step-son, Justin Scheffler; and his siblings, Judy Runquist, Nancy Faaoso and Rick Steele.

A Memorial Service will be held Friday, January 6, 2017, 11:30 a.m. at FRENCH – Lomas. A "Celebration of Life" will follow at Los Cuates, 4901 Lomas Blvd. Albuquerque, NM from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, family has requested contributions can be made to support his grandson, Jayse Monty at "Jayse’s Mito Rascals" research fund for Mitochondrial Disease. Contributions can be made online at www.helptgen.org.
