Robert Thomas Charvet

Robert Thomas Charvet of West Richland finished his race at the entrance of heaven on November 25, 2022. He started his race on November 1, 1952 in Sunnyside, Washington, born to Benjamin Sr. and MaryAlice Charvet. Had had three brothers, Benjamin Jr. and his wife Vickie, Marty and his wife Kathy, and David and wife Kelley.

He is survived by his wife Lori whom he married on June 12, 2004 in Yakima Washington. They made their home in Grandview Washington until 2013 then moved to West Richland Washington. Together they had three daughters, Nicole Charvet of Kennewick, Jessica Grubbs and husband Joel of Kennewick and Susanna Ramirez of Fairbanks, Alaska. He has three beautiful Granddaughters, Abbey, Emma and Piper, and many nieces and nephews whom he loved tremendously. He also cherished his fur babies Bela and Lily. He is proceeded in death by his parents, Ben and MaryAlice, one brother Benjamin Charvet, and most recently his niece Michelle Davita.

Robert grew up in the Grandview community working with his family on their hop farm until going to the Police Academy in spring of 1975. Robert (Bob) served the Sunnyside community as a Police Officer from December 1974 until March of 1999, promoting to Sargent in 1979 and working many years as a detective.

He was an avid lover of snow skiing, golfing, fishing and hunting. Even in the last year along with having many physical limitations he still managed to sneak in a fishing trip with his favorite fishing partners, brother Marty and nephew Jared.  He was a member of the Columbia Community Church where he made many friends who became his dear sisters and brothers in Christ.

The family would like to thank the Kadlec medical community and the wonderful caring staff and nurses at the Mid-Columbia Davita Clinic.

Robert ran his race wholeheartly for God, Country and Family. If you knew him well you were filled with an excellent example of what Faith looks like. We can all draw our own strength and courage from watching the race that Robert ran while drawing his own courage from his faith in Jesus.

 

Therefore since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every incumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of our faith.

  • Robert was my friend and co-worker at Sunnyside PD. He was a hard charger, yet took time to enjoy a good laugh. We had some great times on our ‘Choir Boys’ softball team for several years. Robert was one of the good guys. Godspeed

  • One of the sweetest kindest person I have known. He welcomed me into the family with opened arms and an open heart. He was the Uncle I always dreamed of having and finally found. Soneone who loved the Lord with all of his might and displayed that in ever act that ge showed. Truly an amazing person that always had time to listen to you or make you laugh even when he was tired or in pain. A true man of God who put the Lord first then family. I will never forget you Uncle Robert. Rest in peace.

  • We are very saddened by the passing of our cousin Robert. His three brothers and my 5 siblings were quite the crew back in the day. His parents had one of the very early private pools in Grandview and we took full advantage of it during the long hot summers. Our families also shared a cabin in the mountains until our parents couldn’t take the chaos any longer and Aunt Mary and Uncle Ben purchased a larger cabin in the same area so we could all play and celebrate together over the years. We have many happy memories of those times. Robert was fun and funny and always seemed to be in a happy frame of mind with those sparkling eyes and calm demeanor. We will miss him and send our condolences to his wife Lori, and his brothers Marty and David and their wives Kathy and Kelley and all who will miss him every day.

  • I married into the Charvet family May 12, 2012. Taking Michelle Mary Alice Charvet as my bride. We always attended every family event. I was always welcomed with open arms and loving hearts. When our son Benjamin Joseph DeVita aka Benjie, was born. We decided to name him after Michelles dad. Robert it was a honor and a privilege knowing you and being part of this wonderful family. When we lost Michelle the circle got even tighter. We will always love you and miss you. Give Michelle a hug for me and tell her we love her. Fly high Robert until we meet again.

  • It was hard to believe when I saw this news. Even though we lost track of each other the last few years I still hold you as one of my best friends. We had a great life throughout our school years. We did a lot of things together and then there was softball for many years. I have a lot of great memories my friend. I hope you rest in peace. I would also offer my thoughts and prayers for family, especially Dave and Marty.
