A Heart of Gold


We say goodbye to a beloved father, grandfather, brother, husband, uncle and friend Robby Burtard, who passed away on September 23, 2024, in Grand Junction, Colorado. He was born on April 21, 1968, to Louie Dale and Carroll Sue Burtard in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

Robby leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter through his three children, Kolton Louis Burtard, Jaden Thomas Burtard (spouse Kiersten Burtard), and Kali Rai Burtard (spouse Alex Crockett). His three grandchildren Hadleigh Archer, Jesse Reyes and Madilyn Battle Burtard. He is also survived by his brother Cury Burtard (spouse Tammy Burtard) and their children Laci Schmidt (spouse Jake Schmidt) and Lane Burtard.

Robby is proceeded in death by his parents, grandparents and numerous uncles and aunts.

Robby graduated from Roaring Fork High School in 1987 and continued his education at Denver Automotive and Diesel College.

After school Robby moved to the North Fork Valley, where he worked as a mechanic in the coal mines. He was a very hard worker spending time on drill rigs in Parachute, index fracking in Texas, as a mechanic in Oklahoma and coal mines in Colorado and Montana. But Robby was a cowboy and would lend a hand everywhere he went.

Robby loved anything that would go fast and if it could hurt you, that was even better.

Robby will be remembered for his kind heart, unwavering dedication to his family, and his passion for and talent with horses. He was amazingly talented with breaking horses.

Robby truly had a heart of gold and would help others anyway possible, even putting their needs above his own. He never knew a stranger, he was a magnet and drew people in. If you ever met him, you could not forget him. He will deeply be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Robby was most proud of his children and grandchildren. He would boast about them any chance he had. If you knew Robby, you knew he loved his family.

May Robby Burtard rest in peace knowing he touched the lives of so many and left the lasting impact on those who were fortunate enough to know him.

If Robby were here today, he would tell his kids “Chin up Chest out”!

You can now take your boots off and hang your hat, your work here is done. REST EASY COWBOY

You can to the family or in memory of Robby Burtard.

Robby I didn’t get to say goodbye, so here it goes. I am so glad I got the privilege of knowing you personally, even though our time together was short. You will be missed by many. I guess this is goodbye for now. I love you, my friend.
