Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute

Robert Kieth Counts, 66, of Kansas City, Missouri, passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 13, 2026, surrounded by his loved ones. Born on October 16, 1959, in Kirksville, Missouri, Robert lived a life filled with joy, laughter, and deep devotion to his family.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents Dwight and Sylvia Counts, and sister Barbara Counts

Robert leaves behind his wife, Melissa Counts, his sons, Joshua, Rusty, Daughter Bridgett (Alex), Stepsons Josh (Denise), Joey (Melanie), Brady (Andrea) and Stepdaughter Tanya, and eight grandkids, Austin, Taylor, Hannah, Skylar, Emilia, Haley, Caleb, Lacey, Kaydence and one great granddaughter, Avery, sister Judy (John) Wesley, Brother Tim Counts.

A man of the outdoors, Robert found peace and fulfillment in hunting and fishing. He especially enjoyed time spent on “the farm” with friends and family—moments that brought him both relaxation and connection. Known for his happy spirit and fun-loving nature, he brought warmth and laughter wherever he went.

Robert’s passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who knew him. His memory will live on through the stories shared around campfires, the echoes of laughter during family gatherings, and the enduring love he gave so freely.

    Our lives are forever changed with losing Pops, but the pain is equal to the joy, love, and lessons he gave us.
