On Thursday November 13th, we lost our Dad, Bob Wallen.

A loving father, husband, brother, and friend to so many here in Northern California. Bob was a staple in the Chico community for the last 50 years, whether it be his time with Spark N Cinder, concert producing and promoting around Northern California, pioneering the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, or passionately watching his beloved SF 49ers, Giants and Golden State Warriors with close friends and family, Bob was always known as a kind and generous man that was the life of the party!

Bob is survived by his two sons, Mitchell and Shane Wallen, his granddaughter Mallory Wallen, his brother Tom Wallen, and his beloved wife Sharon Wallen.

Any and all money raised will go to support his wife Sharon, who will begin navigating life without Bob after 25+ years of marriage, and incoming medical/hospital bills and burial services.
