Wonderful Father of 11 children and a Grandfather many times over and the father to close to 50, neglected or special needs children or addicted or emotionally hurting foster children that came through his home into the loving care of himself and his wife. He was an Oregon Standoff Spokesman during the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Occupation. Was shot and killed defending the rights and freedom of others. He placed himself in harms way to protect others, he was a true peacemaker. Christ was and is his exemplifier, Christ forgave his tormentors for they knew not what they were doing and LaVoy in his heart forgives as well for they know not what they have done. Thank You for All You have Done and Tried to do and for defending our Rights and Freedom. You Will Not Be Forgotten. This was a wonderful and strong man with a beautiful heart and soul that housed an unbreakable spirit and I know he made his loving wife and children proud and all his friends proud to call him Friend.
***Robert LaVoy Finicum's Obituary***
Robert LaVoy Finicum was born on January 27, 1961 in Kanab, UT and was murdered the day before his 55th birthday on January 26, 2016. LaVoy was born to David and Nelda Finicum and had six siblings, Sherre, Guy, Jody, Jill, Misty, and Tadi. LaVoy was married to Dorthea Jeanette Finicum on February 18, 1994 and together they have eleven children, Thara, Belle, Tell, Tawny, Arianna, Brittney, Mitch, Thomas, Challice, Danielle, and Tean. Combined they have 19 grandchildren with three more on the way.
LaVoy went to school in Page Arizona. He served a full time mission in the Dakotas for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints of which he was a faithful member his whole life. He served in many church positions; among them: the Young Men’s program, Ward Mission leader, Elders Quorum president, a High Priest leader and a member of the Bishopric. LaVoy worked many years in property management but his passions were helping children and ranching. LaVoy had over 50 foster boys whom he was able to have in his home and mentor over the course of the past 19 years. He loved working on his ranch and teaching his children how to ride horses, brand cows, and most of all, to follow Christ. LaVoy loved God, his family, and his country. He believed that the Constitution of the United States was inspired by God and he was willing to, and did, die while defending our freedoms stated within.
