Robert Elva Foreman

Robert "Bob" Elva Foreman passed away on December 2, 2023 surrounded by his loving wife and four legged companions.

Born on February 6, 1946 the son of Bob Elva Foreman Sr. and Evelyn "Toots" Foreman in Shelby, Ohio. Bob excelled in sports all throughout high school. He went on and joined the United States Army and proudly served his country in Vietnam. Service was at the heart of Bob and before moving to Texas he was a police officer and prison guard. He also worked at the Denton State school, MHMR before starting his own business. With encouragement and a dream he opened Lone Star Lawn & Landscaping and Heavenly Roots Garden Center in Sanger, TX. During this time he also started an after school youth ministry called "Coaches Kids". Bob's true passion was taking in rescue dogs and in 1993 he founded an animal rescue. Throughout the years he has rescued and adopted out 100's of dogs, and donkeys as well. Bob loved God, family, country, the outdoors, fishing, horses and his biggest love of course was his dogs! Bob enjoyed sharing stories and making conversation with everyone he came in contact with. He was an active church member and enjoyed the few times he had the opportunity to preach. He loved debating biblical issues. His health would not allow him to attend church anymore but he was a proud member of Bois D'Arc Creek Cowboy Church. His wife would bring home the recorded sermon for him to listen to and he always inquired about the current happenings. It was important for Bob to be a part of a loving church family.

Bob is preceded in death by his parents, Bob and Evelyn Foreman, brothers, Ken Foreman, Don Foreman, brother in law, Gene Terheggen, sister in law, Ann Lee, and best friends, James Edens, Horace Trietsch and Thomas Trietsch.

A celebration of life will be planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers please honor Bob's life by donating in his memory to a local animal rescue or Veteran's organization.

Thank you to all the wonderful caregivers from the VA and home health care over the past 6 years for providing what was needed and for his excellent care.
