GARDEN CITY, Utah - Robert Jacyna, 73, passed away Monday, Feb. 18, 2019, at the Bear Lake Memorial Skilled Nursing Facility, Montpelier, Idaho.
Rob (aka Bob) was born Sept. 22, 1945, in Cambridge, Mass. to the late Julian and Anna Jacyna. The family moved to South Berwick, Maine, in 1947. He graduated from Berwick Academy, and received a scholarship to MIT.
He served six years in the Army, returned home, bought and operated Jayco Trash Removal, and started a poker game that met regularly, continued after he moved, and ended a year ago. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from The University of Maine.
In the mid 80s, Rob sold the home he'd built in Denmark, Maine, and lived and traveled in his motor home with his cat, for the rest of his life, working as a Seasonal Ranger at National Parks. He enjoyed music festivals, campfires, and potlucks. After buying property overlooking Bear Lake, in Garden City, Utah, he spent springs and summers loving the view, the eagles, and all wildlife.
Rob believed in Karma, practiced a high level of Transcendental Meditation, and studied in India to become a highly trained Jyotish (Vedic) Astrologer. He skied, fished, biked, hiked, played the organ and keyboard, was stubborn, caring, helpful, and respected by others.
Rob left behind his sister, Phyllis Lucina, of Chamberlain, Maine, a niece, nephews, a great-niece, his sister, Marcia Jacyna, of Adna, Wash., cousins, one who was "like a brother," and many good friends.
