Robert "Bob" Thomas Briggs, 40, of Cloquet, MN passed away unexpectedly on June 27, 2025, at his home.

He was born in Black River Falls, WI to Thomas and Candise Briggs on October 27, 1984. He went to Lincoln High School and graduated in 2003.

Bob was a caring and compassionate man that enjoyed helping others. This guided his career choices for many years as he advocated for others while holding a variety of positions.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing, sporting events, and had an infectious love for wrestling but his biggest joy was his family.

He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas; mother-in-law, Julie Leseman; grandparents, Bernard & Sylvia Burnett, and Howard & Eugena Briggs; aunt, Linda Briggs; and godfather, Dale Borreson.

Bob is survived by his wife, Amanda and their children, Kai and Nash; children, Paisley, Bow, and Duke who he shares with former spouse, Karley; parents, Candise (Todd) Swennes; sisters, Rebecca Briggs and MacKenzie Knutson; father-in-law, John Leseman; sisters-in-law, Sarah (Cory) Laulunen and Molly White; aunts, Julie (Delmer) Waughtal and Kathryn (Travis) Clapper; and many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

Bob was a simple man, so a Simple Man's Gathering will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, August 9th at Gile Park in Merrillan, WI. Please bring your stories.
