Robert 'Bobby' Coughlin Obituary Robert Raymond "Bobby" Coughlin was a loving son, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend to so many. Bobby was born to Tim and Bridgit (Fortin) Coughlin on April 8, 1984. He began his formal education at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic School and graduated from Wayzata High School in 2002. He attended college at St. Cloud State University and graduated in 2007 with a Finance degree. Upon graduation he began his career with the Department of Veterans Affairs. During his 15 year career he served the Veterans and their families with compassion and respect. He was a loyal and valued employee. Bobby was a kind, caring and witty soul with a playful, mischievous side. He held a special place in his heart for his Dad and Mom whom he often referred to as his "Best Friends". Along with his parents he adored his Grandparents Ken and Katherine Fortin, his Godparents Tom and Joanne Coughlin and VERY special Aunt Kathy (Dovie) and Uncle John Nilson. He consistently honored his Grandmother's advice and never paid full price for anything! Bobby was an avid sports fan. His keen sense of numbers led to his uncanny ability of following and retaining sports statistics. His radio was forever tuned to KFAN, listening and trying to out analyze the commentators. His pride and joy were his black Beemers. He enjoyed traveling around town searching for the best bargains, visiting friends and family, attending sporting events and picking up pizza at Latuff's Pizzeria for Friday Pizza Night with Mom and Dad. Bobby loved any opportunity to vacation. As a kid he looked forward to the annual vacations to Cold Spring Resort on Gull Lake. He loved walking the beaches of Maui and the Florida gulf coast, hiking the Black Hills and visiting Mount Rushmore. He appreciated the majestic beauty of Colorado when attending family weddings, and loved relaxing at one of Minnesotas most beautiful and peaceful places, the North Shore. We take solace in knowing Grandma Fortin is welcoming him with loving arms, a pan of her homemade fudge, and a freshly baked lemon cake with extra thick frosting. Grandpa Fortin and he are discussing what the Vikings need to do to pull off that unexpected Super Bowl win this year. He and Franny Iverson are hoping the results of the elections go the right way, much to Uncle Tom Stires chagrin. Grandma Couglin has made her famous Scotcheroo bars just for him, and he finally gets to meet Grandpa Ray Coughlin whom he was named after. We know he is dancing the days and nights away to the tune "We Are Family" with cousin Amie Coughlin as they have done at so many weddings together. All this love being given while he has his beloved dog Bailey Rae in tow. We will miss his sparkling blue eyes and his smile that would light up a room. We love you to the Moon and back, Bobby.
