Robert Donald Kaiser was born January 8, 1967, at St. Luke’s Hospital in Aberdeen, S.D., to Walt and Carolyn (Anglin) Kaiser. In 1968, he moved with his family to Wecota, S.D. Rob received his education in Cresbard, graduating with the class of 1985. While attending school, Rob was involved in baseball, football, and basketball. Rob continued his education at Black Hills State University, graduating in 1989 with a degree in teaching.
In 1990, Rob moved to Murdo and began his teaching career and coaching with Jones County High School. In 1999, he left teaching for a position with West Central Electric Coop working as their finance officer.
Rob served as a director for the Black Hills Credit Union and was a member of the Murdo Country Club, Jones County Lions, and St. Martin’s Catholic Church. Within St. Martin’s, he served as a lector, eucharistic minister and as finance officer.
Rob enjoyed sports of all kinds. He loved to golf, was the keeper of the clock at all Jones County basketball games and could be heard while announcing all home football games. He attended many State B basketball tournaments, South Dakota State Track meets, and Summit League games. He even did radio play by play of the SD High School football playoff games in Vermillion with his good friend, Steve Ammerman. Rob was an avid sports fan who loved the Fighting Irish and traveled often to Minneapolis to see his favorite (and yet disappointing) Twins and Vikings. A huge highlight for Rob was getting to attend the Winter Olympics’ in Park City, UT.
Rob leaves behind his parents: Walt and Carolyn Kaiser, Faulkton; sister, Lori (Eric) Frommelt, Minneapolis, MN; brother: Tom (Laura) Kaiser, Warner; nephew, Spencer, SDSU; and paternagrandmother, Laurene Kaiser, Bowdle.
He was preceded in death by an infant brother; maternal grandparents: Delbert and Elizabeth Anglin; and paternal grandfather, Hubert Kaiser.
He will be greatly missed by his family, coworkers, and many friends.
Rob was also a silent helper and loved helping many folks, giving of himself wherever he could. This selflessness continued upon his death. Rob was an organ and tissues donor, donating all that he could through Live On Nebraska.
Luce Funeral Home of Faulkton has been entrusted with Rob’s arrangements.
