He was born August 12, 1957, in Port Huron to the late Robert and Barbara LaForge. He married Diana Clawson on May 21, 1977 in Port Huron.

Robert was a lifelong resident of Port Huron, where he was born, raised, and built his life and family. He was a member of Port Huron High School Class of 1975. An avid outdoorsman, Robert had a lifelong passion for hunting and fishing, interests he especially enjoyed sharing with his son, Jonathan. He also took great pride in his vegetable garden, which he carefully tended and perfected year after year. His dedication was evident in everything he grew and he was always generous in sharing the fruits of his labor with family and friends. Above all, Robert took great pride in his five children and the lives they had built. Family was an important part of his life, and he especially treasured the bond he shared with his grandson, Joel Robert LaForge, affectionately known as “Junior” after his initials, J.R. His grandson brought him tremendous joy and held a special place in his heart.

Robert is survived by his wife of 49 years, Diana LaForge; his children, Sarah LaForge, Jonathan LaForge, Rachel LaForge, Matthew (Alyissa) LaForge, and Michael (Hallie) LaForge; and his grandson, Joel Robert “Junior” LaForge.
