Mr. Robert "Rob" Beecher Nancarrow, age 78, our energetic, always smiling, hardworking, and full-of-life, father, grandfather, partner, brother, uncle, and friend passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 14, 2024.

Rob was born in Pontiac, Michigan, on August 18, 1946, to Robert & Barbara Nancarrow (née Beecher). He was raised alongside his siblings and graduated from Arthur Hill High School, Saginaw with the Class of 1964. He proudly and honorably served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War.

Rob had many interests and passions in life. He enjoyed traveling, spending time outdoors and at the cabin. He was an avid hunter of big game and travelled all around the world to hunt several types. Above all, he was most passionate about his gift as a taxidermist. He was nationally recognized for his skills, as his life-like mounts were featured in dozens of books and a podcast. He was the proud owner and operator of Nancarrow Taxidermy.

He is survived by his special friend, Patty MacDonald; children: Robert Nancarrow, and Autumn (Chris) Lamb; grandchild, Skye Nancarrow; siblings: William (Paula) Nancarrow, Patricia Tergerson, Christine (David) Zwang, Carolyn (Dan) Krueger; as well as nieces, nephews, extended family, and life-long friends who all will miss him dearly.
