Longtime Anchorage, Alaska, resident Robert James Kilby passed away on July 6, 2026. He was born in Oxnard, Calif., to his parents Bob and Delane Kilby.

Rob graduated from West High in Bakersfield, Calif. He lived most of his adult life in Anchorage. He was very proud to be a co-owner of 907 Ale House in Anchorage. He was a very generous person, raising money for people in need and opening his home to many. He was the proud father of Bobby and Troy Kilby. They enjoyed watching - and arguing endlessly - over every imaginable sport.

He was preceded in death by his beautiful baby girl, Aquena Gallahorn; and the mother of his sons, Melissa Kilby (Roberts). He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

A Celebration of Life will be held for family and friends on Monday, July 13, 2026.
