Another angel got his wings on January 3, 2024. Robert Norris Jennings was born January 19, 1977 to Stanley and Dorthy Jennings in Salt Lake City, Utah.
From the moment he was born all he wanted to do was skate and play hockey. This love was so much a part of him that he was told he needed to learn how to walk before he could learn how to skate. As soon as he learned and the very moment he was old enough, he was always part of a team.
He participated in little leagues, high school teams, travel teams, hockey camps and all sorts of various tournaments all over the United States and in Canada.
He attended Skyline High School graduating in the class of 1995.
Shortly after graduation he started working for Arctic Circle restaurants. Starting as a cook he worked his way up to store manager and ran several locations all throughout the Salt Lake Valley, the longest at the Bountiful location for 14 years before transferring closer to home to
the West Jordan location.
He got married in 2003 to his wife Jen and went on to have 2 children.
Rob was a mellow and caring individual who leaves a void in all of our lives.
Preceded in death by his mother Dorthy Ann Terry Jennings, and father Stanley Claire Jennings, and Aunt Patricia Wronski.
Survived by his wife, Jennifer Adrienne Harman Jennings (Jen), son; Christian Robert Jennings, daughter; Audrey Renee Jennings and Sister Dorthy Jennings (Dee).
Here we are on the highway.
Here we are on the road.
Here we are in the parking lot’s pink coke machine glow.
Here we are in the bedroom.
Here we are in the bed.
Here we are beside each other,
After everything we’ve said.

My husband and I went to AC in West Jordan last Thursday. They told us about Rob. We were shocked! He definitely will be missed. He knew our order ,every time we went in he would call it back to the cook. He was so friendly and upbeat. He truly cared about his customers and the people he worked with.
I have very fond memories of Rob! We work together at Arctic Circle during my younger years, and he was an amazing manager, and I have thought of him fondly over the years. I am so sorry to hear of his loss, and I hope you find comfort and knowing he was well loved man, and we all looked up to him. I hope you can find peace and comfort with family and friends during this time.
This is such an out of nowhere thing. Rob was such a a great guy. He was so dedicated daddy and loved Jen so very much. His family was his base in life and life revolved around them. He did love hockey and it was his life until he got together with his Jen who also loved and understood his thing for hockey. I hadn’t seen Rob and Jen since breaking up my moms house after she died I. Will miss him awful but I also know he’s moved on to a better place. godbless you Jen and your beautiful children
