Any shooter
Anytime we lose a brother shooter is a sad day.
I was not a fan of his,but he should rest in peace.
He amused many.

I am really saddened by Bob's passing.
Prayers for Becky, both are super people.
Everyone talks about how fast he was with a Colt & he was. However possibley his greatest skill was tuning up a Colt SAA. I have a couple he did & now I will really treasure them. One time I took one to Bob, & he asked do you have a bit of time? I said yes, Bob took me to his shop & said heck I'll do it now. I watched & asked questions as he worked. He gladly answered each one.
Meanwhile Becky was visiting with my Wife. They had a great time. I didn't know Bob really well, but I saw him several times in resturants in Butte, he remembered me & we'd say hi & visit a minute. Bob once showed me a Colt SAA he'd built up for Becky, I've never seen a slicker working Colt. Bob lived an hours drive from my home & I could take him a gun, he'd do the action job, & I could drive back up & pick it up. I didn't have to trust a valuable gun to the mail.
You can bet I'll treasure the ones he tuned up for me.
I'll miss Bob

Wow... that just turned my already bad day into a terrible one.
Watching and copying his footage helped make me confident enough to carry a single action revolver. No hope of coming close to his speed, or aim.... But how many of us could?
We'll all miss you Bob.

Is there any news to confirm this? There is nothing on his website, nothing from any news source, yesterday when posted there was nothing on Wikipedia, today a death date was added to the wiki with no explanation or details at all, and the few forum post I have seen around gun forums just say "he has died" with no source at all.
It wouldn't be the first time someone makes up a death story for laughs, seen it before and will see it again, if the poster is of close relations and happens to be able to know this before it hits the news it would be nice to know.

found some news, and appears to be true

Bob passed away from a heart attack on his way home from the hospital. Becky was driving them home and Bob's heart stopped. He was dead on arrival to St. James Medical here in Butte. We were all there to met her when she arrived. Bob looked peaceful, but he was gone. Natalie, Bob's daughter will be posting more on Bob on the Munden website shortly.

I am so, so sorry. Met him after a show and he tuned an SA for me. Very nice man and could and would talk for hours about guns and shooting. One of a kind... my heart and prayers go out to his wife and daughter.

I hope forever feels like home for him. Amazing shooter
I remember that safety pin shot
Long range with a snubby and even a belt buckle 22
600 yards with a 44 mag. And so many more
And the fast draw WOW
Bob was the man
Never met him but talked to Becky on the phone to have Bob do an action job on a 586 l-comp for me. Smooth as silk, glad I kept the receipt from him. I won't have anything else done to this gun.
Prayers and condolences to Becky and their daughters.
Ps
My wife just reminded me about him shooting using Becky's diamond ring as a mirror on Impossible Shots. I told her "there must be a gun range in Heaven"
She said......."there better be"
