Robert “Rob” Charles Kayser, Jr. was born on March 4, 1970 in St. Louis, Missouri and passed away at home on September 6, 2019. Beloved husband of 24 wonderful years to Susan Kayser. Cherished son of Robert and Antoinette “Toni” Kayser, and son-in-law of Thomas and Sandra Kauffman; loving father of Alexis and Elizabeth Kayser; dear brother of Jason (Sarah) Kayser, and brother-in-law of Kristin (Larry) Weber and Jeff (Ann) Kauffman; treasured uncle of Andrew, Aimee and Anna Weber, Ava, Lila, and Vivienne Kayser, and Jacob Kauffman.

Rob was the much anticipated and firstborn son. He grew up in Maryland Heights, Missouri and graduated from Parkway North High School. He attended Northeast Missouri State University in Kirksville, where he played soccer and was a member of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity.  Rob met his wife Susi in college, as well as numerous, lifelong friends. In later years, Rob spent the majority of his career in the mortgage business and was a caring leader for his employees and co-workers. He enjoyed being a mentor and helping others learn the business.

Rob’s hobbies included soccer, caring for his koi pond and salt-water fish tanks and traveling with his family. Rob loved exploring new places and taking adventures with Susi, Lexi and Lizzie. He especially loved visiting Disney destinations. Rob spent many hours coaching his daughters’ soccer teams and cheering them on in their other interests.  He continued to coach his girls’ select team until his diagnosis and was a mentor for all those he coached. More than anything, Rob was a devoted father and husband, and loved spending time with his family.

Memorial Contributions may be made in Rob’s honor to the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration or to Crossroads Hospice.

Burial will be private.
