Robert Daniels Sr.

Robert Alvin “Bobby” Daniels Sr., 77, died Feb. 23, 2025, in Glendive.

He was the fourth child of Randolph and Mabel Daniels.

He would lovingly tease and prank, his crabby exterior a cover up for his mischievousness. He knew all the sacred hunting sites and shared his knowledge with all those that went hunting and fishing with him. Always reminded everyone to treat the animals and areas with respect and honor.

He proved this statement false and returned home. He was always a guy who stood by the veteran
