Obituary

Bob Stradley was born in Des Moines, Iowa on January 27, 1958 to Richard “Dick” & Elizabeth “Betty” Stradley. He passed away on September 25, 2024.

Bob grew up on the Eastside of Des Moines. After graduating from East High School in 1976, Bob married Sandi Sample Stradley on August 16, 1985. They have been married 39 years. He had a successful career and retired from the Iowa Department of Transportation.

One of Bob’s passions was coaching his children in sports. Bob coached BJ in All American Football and coached both children at Salvation Army Basketball. Bob was President of the East Des Moines Girls Softball League, while coaching his daughter Bobbie for many years in softball.

Bob enjoyed spending time with his wife, Sandi, children, grandchildren, family & friends. Bob was also an avid Iowa Hawkeye Fan. Bob really enjoyed music, and he spent a great amount of time going to concerts, camping, boating, taking road trips with his wife Sandi, especially after retirement.

Bob could be the life of the party and he was an amazing storyteller. He loved to make people laugh and had a great sense of humor. Bob is loved by many people. He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.

Bob is survived by his wife, Sandi, son BJ (Chris) Marshall, daughter Bobbie (Matthew) Dennis, two grandchildren; Adam Dennis & Cecelia Dennis, sister Kathy (Roger) Cox, brother Richard "Dick" (Kathy) Stradley Jr., brother-in-law Robert “Bob” (Linda) Sample, Joseph Sample, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dick & Betty.
