In loving memory of Robert “Bobby” Trottier – a man who spent his life embracing values of hard work, humor, and unwavering kindness. Born on November 30, 1959, in Phoenix, Arizona, Bobby’s journey came to a peaceful close on June 5, 2024, in the same city where his story began.
Known for his deep commitment to helping others and his quick wit that could bring a smile to the darkest of moments, Bobby will be fondly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to cross paths with him. His extends beyond his time as a Phelps Dodge Shovel Operator to touch the lives of many in the community.
Bobby’s passion for life extended beyond his work. An alumnus of Clifton High School from the class of 1979, he found joy in tinkering with automobiles, cheering on Arizona sports teams, following the thrilling races of NASCAR, and the Clifton Hill Climb. His vibrant personality meant that one could always count on him for a good laugh or a comforting presence.
At Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Clifton, on June 15, 2024, friends and family will gather to pay their respects and celebrate Bobby’s life through a Rosary Service at 9:30 AM followed by a Mass at 10:00 AM. The final act of laying Bobby to rest will take place with a Burial at Ward Canyon Cemetery at 11:30 AM.
Bobby is reunited in peace with his father Leo Trottier and mother Camellia Giles. He leaves behind cherished memories for his surviving loved ones: daughter Annette Trottier, son Robert Trottier, sisters Vicky, Kathy, Linda, and Teresa, his brother Stephen, as well as 8 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
As we bid farewell to Bobby in this physical realm, let us carry forward his spirit of generosity and humor. May his legacy inspire us all to be as quick to lend a helping hand and as steadfast in spreading joy as he always was.
Rest in peace, dear Bobby. Your light shall continue to shine brightly in our hearts.
