Bob Dunnagan 1937-2024
By Ed Northen
A heavy fog lay on the valley floor in Victor, Idaho as a soft light bathed the summits of the Tetons rising above the midst. The Idaho Council of Trout Unlimited was gathered on this morning of October 19 for our Fall meeting, when the news of Bobs passing was shared.
We paused our meeting and shared stories about Bob, which resulted in lots of laughter at his antics, gratitude for his tireless contribution to conservation and the memories of friendship and camaraderie shared. We raised our coffee mugs and drank a toast to a friend and a life well lived.
We also donated $5,000 dollars to the Trout Unlimited, Idaho State Council Graduate Scholarship fund, in Bob’s memory. A fund which Bob initiated when he was President of the Idaho Council, and a scholarship fund that continues to benefit students who pursue careers in fisheries.
Sending thoughts of peace and comfort to family and friends of Bob, in this time of loss. Please know Bob will continue live on in our memories and hearts.
