Obituary

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” – 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Robert “Bob” Dahlen, 90, of Ormond Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2024, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on February 23, 1934, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Marie and Herbert Dahlen, Bob lived a life marked by faith, dedication, and love for his family and community.

A proud graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Bob earned his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1955. Shortly after, he served his country with honor in the United States Army in 1957.

Bob was a man of quiet strength, integrity, and deep humility. He cherished his role as a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Nannine, and found his greatest joy in being a father to his four children and grandfather to six. He was immensely proud of his family, always sharing in their achievements and milestones with pride and affection.

In his memory, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org), an organization close to his heart. Services will be held privately at the discretion of his family.

    I had the privilege to know this great man some years ago before he got ill. We had some wonderful talks and I know without a doubt how much he loved his family!
    Blessings to you Bob on your next journey in the afterlife on another plain. I know that you will be watching over your earth family always in all ways!

    I didn't know Bob long, but was immediately drawn to his warm, welcoming smile and impeccable manners as a host. I am so thankful to have shared his 90th birthday with him---I will cherish the fish story for the rest of my days. The character of a man is often reflected in his family, and in that measure, Bob Dahlen has achieved the highest of heights. What a wonderful Dahlen clan he leaves behind to carry on his legacy. My sympathies to the entire family. May your memories of your dear husband/father/grandfather/loved one sustain you in this time of grief. And may Bob's quiet strength, dignity, and sense of humor live on in all of us whose lives he touched.
