Robert Craig Pitt II

Robert Pitt, 47, of Erda, Utah passed away suddenly on November 11, 2025 of a massive heart attack. He was born in Tooele, Utah on July 7, 1978 to Craig and Doelene Pitt of Grantsville, Utah where he grew up.

He graduated in 1997 from Tooele High School where he was involved in the FFA and High School Rodeo Club. He worked at Tonioli Meats butchering, and cutting meat while in school.

On July 5, 1997 he married Brookes DeVore. They made their home in Erda. Together they had three children, Cody, Lance, and Reagan. He continued cutting meat at Albertson’s, Macey’s and Tooele Valley Meats. He also sheared sheep all over Utah and Nevada. He was very involved in every aspect of the sheep industry from breeding to lambing, doctoring and hauling.

In 2009, he established CLR Trucking and began hauling livestock. So much time was spent building up connections that resulted in many friendships. He loved his ‘trucking family’ and everyone he hauled for and made sure he kept in contact, resulting in him always being on the phone, deep in conversation about anything and everything.

Robert was always buying and selling sheep. He was a regular at the auction, which was where his last moments were spent buying one last load of sheep.

Robert displayed an infectious work ethic and was a role model that many aspired to duplicate. This can be seen in his children. He took a lot of pride in helping the youth in 4H and FFA learn the fundamentals of raising, trimming and showing sheep. He was truly an asset to livestock shows across Utah and Nevada. His proudest accomplishment was producing the Grand Champion lamb at the Salt Lake County Stockshow.

Robert was one of a kind, an amazing person always offering to lend a hand. Anyone who knew him, knew his straightforward personality.

Robert is survived by his wife of 28 years, Brookes; children Cody (McKell), Lance and Reagan; grandchildren Graysen and Brecken. He is also survived by his mother Doelene; sisters Heidi Warr (Jason Marquitte), Elizabeth Pitt (Jereme Rice), Emily (Michael) Cantone, Holly (Christopher) Courtney; mother-in-law Susan DeVore; brother-in-law Michael (Julia) DeVore, Boo DeVore (Angie Hill) and many nieces and nephews. Robert was proceeded in death by his father Craig Pitt, father-in-law Lynn Devore and best friend Cody Wrathall.
