Robert Lane May

Robert L. May, 47, passed away on September 25, 2026.

Born on November 25, 1978, in Lander, Wyoming, Robert was the youngest of four children. Throughout his life, he lived in Utah, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, Montana and Idaho building a life rich with adventure, fulfillment, and deep connections. He graduated from Pocatello High School and earned his degree in Urban Planning from the University of Utah in 2013.

An Eagle Scout with an abiding passion for the outdoors, Robert seized every opportunity to be in nature. Whether he was fly fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, hunting, or canoeing, he was truly in his element. Among his favorite memories was the time spent with his beloved horse, Miss Dandee Bars. Curiously minded, Robert had a keen appetite for learning and loved watching documentaries of all kinds.

He is survived by his devoted parents, Gerald Lee and Nita Rae May, and his brothers, Michael L. May of Pocatello, ID, and Christian L. May of Houston, TX. He was preceded in death by his sister, Hailey Ann May (Batterton).

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to friends, family, and Robert's friends and associates from Millcreek, Utah, city all and in Salt Lake City for their overwhelming generosity and support during this difficult time.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 PM on Friday, October 2, 2026, at Mountain View Cemetery, 1520 S. 5th Avenue, Pocatello, ID.
