Robert “Bob” Queen, 67, died on Saturday morning, the 22st of September at Vista Hospice Center in San Antonio, Texas after a brief battle with brain cancer.

Bob was born to Emily and James Queen in Monterey Park, California in 1945.

He lived most of his life in Riverside, California where he retired from the Riverside City Fire Department after 35 years of dedicated service, receiving both the California State Firemen’s Valor Award for Heroic Acts as well as a proclamation from the City of Riverside for Excellence and Dedication.

He was currently residing in Blanco, Texas, where he fulfilled his love of animals as co-owner of the highly respected Queen's Pride Aviaries.

He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Virginia “Ginny” Queen of Blanco, his son Robert Queen Jr. of Springfield, VA, 2 grandchildren Alec and Allison Queen, also of Springfield, and one brother, James Queen of Rosemont, CA.
