Robert William Zundel died May 22nd, 2023, peacefully at his home in Willard, Utah. He was born November 23, 1937, in Moab, Utah to parents Alan D. Voorhies, and Ethel Ruth Myers. They divorced soon after, and in 1938 Ethel met and married Stephen Ulysses Zundel. Stephen adopted Robert. He was the oldest of the Zundel family. He grew up in Willard, Utah with six brothers and sisters – Steve (Carol) Zundel, Norma Dee (Roy) Torgeson, John (Marla) Zundel, Ramona (Clyde) Westley, Louis Wynn (Sherry) Zundel, Richard (Diane) Zundel.
Robert graduated Box Elder High School class of 1956, and soon after was employed at Hill Air Force Base as a Computer Analyst working on the F16 Project. He retired from HAFB after 34 years. He joined the Army and was in the Army Reserve as a Tank Driver.
In 1965 he met and married Nellie Margaret Perkins. They had four daughters, Julia (Reid) Lott, Deborah (Marc) Allred, Lisa (Robert) Parish, and Laura (William) Hodgins. They later divorced.
In 1983 he married Sharon Walker and they had two sons, Robert Antony Zundel, and Jeffery Stephen (Rebecca) Zundel. They were later divorced.

Robert enjoyed hunting, duck hunting, fishing, and trapping. He enjoyed working on and spending time on the family farm where he could spend all his days if you let him. He liked to go to the various cafes for coffee where he could spend time with friends and flirt with the waitresses. He loved going back to Moab to visit family and wished he could do more of that.
He is survived by three of his brothers and two of his sisters, his four daughters, and one son. He is preceded in death by his mother Ethel Zundel, father Stephen U. Zundel, Brother Steve Zundel, Son Robert Zundel, Grandson Robbie Thompson, and Great- grandson Beckam Richardson.
