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.
Share a memory

I started working for Alpine Bank in Glenwood Springs in1986 as a part time teller. At that time there were seven Alpine Bank locations and Bobs office was located across from the teller line at the Glenwood location so we got to see him daily. I cannot remember a time that he didn’t take a minute to say good morning and make you feel important . Over the past forty years I have been proud to watch and participate in the growth and successes of Bobs vision . He was such an amazing man, always supporting employees as well as the communities we work and live in. I feel blessed to have known him and thankful for the opportunities for myself and my family. May the memories of Bob be a blessing for all who knew him and whose lives he touched in so many ways.
