Robert P. Jansen

Robert Philip Jansen, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away January 28, 2025, at the age of 71. Born at McCauley Hospital in North Bend, Oregon to Ralph and Marion Jansen, Rob was the fourth of eight children. He spent his childhood in the company of his family; often helping his grandfather on the farm, a time that shaped his hardworking spirit and deep love for his roots.

Rob graduated from Marshfield High School in 1971 and went on to earn a forestry degree from Southwestern Oregon Community College. Later in life, he attained his electrical license, but his true passion lay in trucking. He spent many years behind the wheel for various companies and even owned his own truck, a symbol of his independence and work ethic.

A true "MacGyver" at heart, Rob had an incredible knack for solving problems. Whether it was fixing a broken appliance or lending a hand to someone in need, Rob always found a way. His easy smile and willingness to help made him a friend to all, and he was known for his generous spirit. If there was ever a beer to be shared or a good time to be had, Rob was always ready.

His love for adventure took him to the great outdoors, where he enjoyed camping and creating memories with his family. He dedicated his time to serving others, volunteering with Young Life, the Boat Building Center, and the Coos Railroad Museum; communities that benefited from his infectious enthusiasm and commitment.

Rob is survived by his loving wife Louetta; his daughters, Jennie Jansen, Emilee Jergensen, and Breanna Tardie, as well as seven grandchildren who will continue his legacy of kindness and joy.

A memorial celebration of Rob's life will be held at 11am, Saturday, March 1, 2025 at Skyline Baptist Church, 3451 Liberty Street in North Bend. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to one of the many organizations Rob supported during his life. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www.coosbayareafunerals.com
