September 1943 – March 16, 2025
With profound sadness, we share the passing of Robert G. Wekell, a cherished leader, mentor, and lifelong steward of the Daffodil Festival. Rob served the Daffodil Festival community for 51 years, joining in 1974 and serving as Sir Boss of the Daffodilians in 1983 and President of the Board in 1992.
His unwavering commitment to the Festival, its mission, and the youth of Pierce County leaves an enduring legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.
Memorial donations in Rob’s honor can be made to support the scholarships he championed.
