Bessler, Robert Robert Dale Bessler, 57, of San Rafael, California, formerly of Kalamazoo, Michigan, passed away unexpectedly from an emergent medical issue on April 21st, 2022. Robert was born on June 14th, 1964 to Sandra and Dale Bessler. Robert was an incredibly loving husband, father and grandfather and always protective over his family and friends. He had a deeply kind heart and so much wisdom to share with the world. He was a passionate and brilliant martial arts teacher, having attained multiple black belt ranks in different arts and for many years running his own dojo in Kalamazoo (Ninpo Traditions Ninjutsu Academy and later the West Michigan Budokan). After moving to California in 2011, he embarked on a personal training journey but still found his joy in teaching many private students. He was an accomplished author, with his book Expansion Mastery: The Practical Guide to Living a Fully Engaged Life published in 2012 by Morgan James Publishing. He also had a weekly podcast show to correlate with his spiritual and meditative teachings called The Fully Engaged Life that inspires listeners from all around the globe. He loved to travel the world with his wife and was always searching to learn from new countries and cultures. He had such an adventurous and vibrant spirit, living each day to the fullest and seeking out new experiences. He was the most thoughtful and generous person, always helping those around him and approaching life with an open heart. Preceding him in death was his mother Sandra Rook, stepfather Clarence Rook, father Dale Bessler, grandparents Doyle and Agnes Short, and grandparents Naomi and Arthur Bessler. He is survived by his wife Amy Bessler, daughters Lacey (Jason) Morrow and Amanda (John) Bessler-Schwab, grandchildren Jordan, Dallas, Bryce, Grayson, and Jameson, brother Michael (Jenifer) Bessler, and several nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Life will be held on his birthday, June 14th, 2022 in Michigan. Please contact Amy or Lacey for details if you've not received them. The world has lost a truly special and remarkable man with his passing. He will be loved and missed forever and always.
