Honoring the life and legacy of J. Robert “Bob” Young
For more than 50 years, Bob Young built Alpine Bank on a foundation of compassion and community connection. His vision created more than a bank; it created a culture where caring
for others comes first.
As we celebrate Bob’s remarkable life, we invite you to share your thoughts, memories and stories. Whether it’s a moment of kindness, a lesson learned or simply what Bob meant to you, your words will help honor his enduring spirit and inspire future generations.
Because as Bob often reminded us: “the most valuable thing one person can give to another is caring. When you care, everything else just follows.”
Let’s keep that promise alive, together.

Bob was so good to so many. Fortunately my family and I were part of that. I started with the bank in 1983. Little did I know Bob would teach me much more than banking. Fixing an irrigation system, winning the “Great Race” at Ski Spree, bar tending, Strawberry Days parade floats, and pyrotechnics at the Fourth of July. Community engagement was job one.
Then in 1990 he gave me the chance to start Alpine Bank Clifton. He always believed that if we had a bank in a community, together we can make it a better place. He made me a believer. He always gave us the ability to make decisions that were right for our customers and communities. When Bob’s caring philosophy showed up it was a better place.
We had a lot of fun on the golf course and many days in the boardroom.
I appreciate all of Bob’s lessons and opportunities to help make Colorado a better place to live and work.
