Robert Ray Dees

Robert Ray Dees was born in Oakland, California on September 14,1946. He was the 1st of 2 sons born to Ida and Raymond Dees. Robert Crossed Over on April 11th, 2023, at the age of 76 after a long battle with leukemia, 2 hip fractures and a sudden stroke in Kingman Regional Medical Center in Kingman, AZ. He graduated from Los Angeles Mission College with an Associates of Science Degree in the early 1960s. Soon after, his employment endeavors required him to reside in several places throughout Southern California. During his early working career, he worked in delivery and vending. But eventually he went on to make use of his degree, working as an electrician and later in aircraft maintenance and refueling. Robert, who many knew as Bob, seemed to always find one of his greatest joys, and what he considered his greatest accomplishment, in the work he did studying The Bible. He was an avid lover of all things surrounding math and applied his math skills from Mission College to scripture. He was able to see what appeared to be divine math patterns within scripture, with the number 13 presenting itself repeatedly. He always believed that the number 1 was signifying that the three members of the Godhead are all one in the same, and that the number 3 signified there were 3 separate members of The Godhead, even though they were 1 altogether. Overall, he spent the last 36 years of his life researching these number 13 mathematical codes in scripture. He was hopeful his findings would be crafted into a book, to be published and shared, to provide irrefutable proof of the validity of scripture and the existence of The Father. However, his labor of love was still a work-in-progress at the time of his passing. Mr. Dees also found great joy in helping his small group of friends, and many others he would go on to meet. Encompassing many different projects requiring physical tasks like caring for animals, doing work for others who were too infirmed to complete a task, repairing equipment or building things. He was also known as a caring person, with a great listening ear, and a witty and refreshing sense of much-needed humor. Additionally, his personality and character were healing and comforting to others, as he always found a way to work towards embracing peace and calmness in any situation. Seemingly, it came from his devotion to seeing the silver lining - or the ever-present positive side of everything and everyone. He was a short time resident of Kingman, which he truly adored, where he chose to relocate to after his retirement, sharing he always felt a sense of home and belonging in the mountains of Arizona. His funeral and burial are scheduled for Friday, May 5th at Mountain View Cemetery, at 11am located at 1301 Stockton Hill Rd, Kingman AZ. He is survived by only a few close friends, as all his next-of-kin crossed over some years ago, Autumn Kline, Jim Canfield, Sherry Canfield, Nicole Graves, Dan O’Conner, Tom Sorensen, Lee Willard, Christy Willard, Carol Kline, Timothy Mullins, Trevor Mullins, Tyler Mullins, Tiffany Mullins, and Celeste Millikan. He was well loved and will be fondly remembered and deeply missed…
