In Loving Memory of Robert William Truesdell Jr.
July 29, 1965 – July 28, 2025
Robert William Truesdell Jr. passed away peacefully on July 28, 2025, just one day shy of his 59th birthday after a short battle with an aggressive form of cancer. He was surrounded by the family he so deeply loved and who loved him just as fiercely in return.
Born in Denver, Colorado, on July 29, 1966, Rob moved with his family to Omaha, Nebraska, at the age of three, where he was raised in the Millard area. At just 18 years old, Rob married the love of his life, Amy — a bond that remained strong through four decades of laughter, trials, and unwavering devotion. The couple celebrated 40 years of marriage this past March, a testament to the deep love and partnership they shared.
Robert was a dedicated employee of the Omaha World-Herald, where he worked for 35 years. His strong work ethic, pride in craftsmanship, and willingness to help others made him a respected and beloved colleague.
Known for his quick wit and unmatched sense of humor, Rob had a unique ability to make others laugh, even in the most difficult of times. He loved a cold beer and could always be counted on to share a story or joke that left the room smiling. He took pride in everything he did, from fixing what seemed unfixable to lending a helping hand — always ready to give you the shirt off his back.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Dolly; brother, John; and his beloved grandparents. He is survived by his devoted wife, Amy; daughters Crystal (Shawn) and Toni; and his cherished granddaughters Charlee, Giada, Brinlee, and Gemma. He also leaves behind his father, Bob; sister, Chris (Ron); as well as many brothers- and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, extended family, and countless friends who will miss him deeply.
Robert William Truesdell Jr.’s legacy is one of love, laughter, loyalty, and unwavering devotion to those around him. His presence made the world a better place, and his memory will continue to shine through all those who had the honor of knowing him.
