Robert "Bob" Kellough

Robert A. Kellough, 83, of Valencia, CA, died peacefully at his home on February 21, 2025.

He was born in Ferndale, Michigan on July 5, 1941 to Wilbert and Dorothy Kellough, and moved with his family to Zillah, Washington at the age of 5. Robert later lived in Alaska for several years working for Alaska Airlines and eventually owned a freight company catering to the Alaska Pipeline.

Robert met his wife, Koni Watson, in Ocean Shores, Washington and they were married on August 22, 1981. Robert worked for several years in the camping membership business, which gave the two the opportunity to travel and live in several states including Arizona, Texas and Michigan before settling in Valencia, California in 1989. In 1996, Robert became Owner and Publisher of ‘The Sports Reporter’, a local sports magazine highlighting all local youth sports. His passion was on and off the fields, taking pictures and highlighting all players, not just the stars of the team. Robert was a natural social butterfly and loved conversing with everyone he met. His charisma enabled him to form deep connections with those around him and he was loved by many.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Wilbert and Dorothy Kellough, his sisters Elaine Miles and Margaret Bray, and his brother Thomas Kellough, and is survived by his loving wife, Koni Kellough, his daughter Kalee DeBernardi, his three grandchildren, Silas Costa, Penelope Kellough, and Bryce Crave, and several nieces and nephews.

Robert’s family will be holding a private memorial and celebration of life in Washington State.
