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.

What Bob created in Alpine Bank, will forever find me grateful. I grew up in the 2nd to 3rd generation of Alpine Bankers in that I didn’t really know Bob personally. I saw him as an icon, the man that founded Alpine Bank, the leader of our great institution, the man that set the standard in philanthropy, the man that made our communities better. Bob took a chance on a young lady from small town Eagle and provided me with opportunities, challenges, growth, friendships, and so much more than just a “job”. Thank you, Bob, for having a dream of a caring, community bank and for making it possible for this dream to continue into futures untold!
