On Thursday, February 8, 2007, Robert A. Pukitis at 50 years young lost his 16-month fight due to complications arising from a heart transplant. Robert had a heart attack while fishing with his wife Nan-C-Lee on August 26, 2005.

Robert was a loving husband and best friend to his wife, Nan-C-Lee, and inspiration as a Father to his sons, Justin, Jerad and Clayton, as well as an amazing brother to his sister Tanya and husband Steve Beldsoe, his brother David and wife Jennifer Pukitis, and adored by his father Juris Pukitis. He was loved and respected by his nieces, nephews and many extended family members.

He was a highly respected employee at Burien Chevrolet for over 15 years. Bob's absence from Burien Chevrolet over the last 16 months was also felt daily by his co-workers and customers.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made at any Wells Fargo Bank location under the benefit account of Robert A. Pukitis. All donations are greatly appreciated in assisting the family with the astronomical medical expenses that have been incurred, as well as the current expenses to give Robert's family the comfort they need at their time of sadness and grief.

The celebration for Robert's life took place on Saturday, February 17, 2007, at Bonney-Watson Parker Chapel in Burien.
