On Sunday, April 19, 2026, amazing husband Bob Baranek passed away suddenly and without warning. 💔💔💔💔 We are in shock and disbelief. There are no words to describe the depth of his loss. He was our rock. He loved to make people laugh. He fiercely loved his family. He was genuine and heartfelt as he moved through this world. Our family had suffered enough after losing Carson. The ONLY solace is he and Carson are now together, watching the NHL hockey playoffs, one of Bob’s favorite times of the year. Brooke and I have so much support from family and friends. But this has changed everything forever.

I will love you forever, Bobby🫶🏻💕❤️💔. You are my everything and partner in life and I feel untethered and lost at sea. Brooke and I need you now more than ever. In October 2025, Bob was inducted to be the President of the Western Manufactured Homeowner’s Association for which he had served on the Board of Directors for several years. He was so PROUD to be elected President. He did not get to serve the full one-year term as he was only in the position for six months when he passed away 7 weeks ago. For the induction, he diligently prepared a speech, rented a tux and I purchased a long gown. It was a magical night watching my husband speak with emotion about his hopes for the industry and his respect for the others who had served before him to 100s of gathered members. My wife heart swelled with pride. He had dedicated 23 years of his life to the field. Today, I received these professional pictures of that event . He looks so happy in them. They remind me that no one should ever doubt their abilities and, even in business, you should always lead with your heart. That is how my husband lived and he was rewarded for it.
