Bob Kibler passed away on December 23, 2011, the cause being complications due to leukemia. He was born on May 14, 1953 and was 58 years of age.
Bob was a resident of Stuart, Florida. He is survived by his sister, Kathy Kibler-Bauer, brother, Bill Kibler, his mother, Fumi Kibler, and his daughter, Sonja Kibler.
The time Bob lived and attended school at Camp Zama were some of the best years of his life, and I know many of us share the same feeling. At Zama High he was on the Wrestling team and Track&Field team. After leaving Japan in 1971, he completed some college before deciding to join the Army. He served in assignments in Panama and Colorado during his enlistment. While in Panama, Bob married and later had a daughter - Sonja. After a short marriage, he raised his daughter who now lives in Caliifornia. Bob had lived most of his life in California but retired to Florida about 8 years ago. He enjoyed computers, fishing, and boating. Bob had battled Leukemia for 1.5 years and was receiving more aggressive chemotherapy when he developed fatal complications during his hospitalization. We will all miss him very much.
Bob was one of my best friends in highschool. I am so sadden to hear of his passing. We all go our separate ways but I will always remember Bob and his friendship. My condolences to his family. I wish I could have kept in touch with Bob. He will be missed. My deepest sympathy. Kind Regards Mike Remington
