It is worth noting that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has announced a $25,000 reward for information leading to a suspect.

Rob Krentz - The Man

Rob was always active in the community. He served as president of the Cochise/Graham Cattle Growers, Board of Directors of the Arizona Cattle Growers, president of the Whitewater Draw NRCD (National Resource Conservative District), a member of the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association, served on the Apache School Board and was involved with many other organizations. He graduated from Douglas High School and the University of Arizona.

Rob was a kind and gentle man, a loving husband, brother, father, grandfather, uncle and a good friend. He will be sorely missed.

Rob is survived by his wife of 36 years Sue, (past Arizona State Cowbelle president, advocate on border and endangered species issues and much more) two sons Andrew and Frank, daughter Kyle, two grandchildren, sister Susan Pope and brother Phil and numerous nephews and nieces. Both Andy and Frank are graduates of New Mexico State University.
