HealingStrong exists to create a faith-based, volunteer-led supportive environment for individuals facing cancer and other diseases. As a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, it was founded in 2013 with a mission to connect, support, and educate individuals facing cancer and other diseases through strategies that assist in rebuilding the body, renewing the soul, and refreshing the spirit in God’s Word.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in his memory to HealingStrong.
Robert John Clausen was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished brother and uncle, and friend to many. He embraced each day with joy, always carrying an optimistic outlook on life. His greatest goal was to spend time with his family and cultivate meaningful relationships with those around him. Robert’s love for his family, friends, and work was evident in all he did, and he will be profoundly missed.
Born to Pete and Joyce Clausen, Rob grew up alongside his four siblings in the Little Rocky Mountains of Montana, where adventure was always close at hand. He spent his formative years working in the family’s construction business, developing a deep passion for woodworking and stonework. His homes stand as lasting tributes to his beautiful craftsmanship. Rob’s love for woodworking inspired his son, Remington, who has since pursued a career in construction, following his father’s passion.
On Valentine’s Day in 1996, Rob married Rachel on a heart-shaped beach in the Virgin Islands, marking the beginning of a life filled with travel and shared adventures. In 1999, they welcomed triplets: Isabelle, Remington, and Hunter. Although they lost Hunter, Rob is now reunited with him in heaven, where they are surely walking on the beach together.
Rob built a successful career as a financial advisor, starting in life insurance during college and later founding his own firm in 1998. For decades, he helped clients achieve their financial goals, a legacy that was strengthened when his daughter Isabelle joined him as a business partner in 2020. Working alongside her was one of his greatest joys.
In 2006, Rob and Rachel began splitting their time between Arizona and Idaho, savoring 18 years of beautiful Arizona winters and breathtaking Idaho summers. His love for the outdoors and travel took him on many adventures, especially to the Caribbean with his family. He also shared memorable outdoor trips to Alaska and Montana with Remington and his son-in-law, Aaron.
Rob’s life was rich with passions: hunting, woodworking, golfing, and time spent with family and friends. His infectious humor brought laughter to everyone he met. As a proud member of Four Peaks Rotary, Rob was committed to serving the Fountain Hills community, always eager to give back.
In his later years, Rob’s faith deepened significantly. A lifelong Christian, he developed a strong devotion to God, fully trusting Jesus with every aspect of his life. Rob found purpose in supporting others on their healing journeys, offering them hope and comfort through his own experience. He shared the message that God would guide them, providing strength, just as He had been with Rob. Rob helped lead a HealingStrong cancer support group, where he offered guidance and encouragement to others navigating their healing journeys.
Rob passed away on September 4, 2024. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and faith. His kind heart and generous spirit touched many lives, and he will be remembered for the joy and laughter he brought to others. We love you so much, Robert. You will always be missed.
To honor Rob, if you would like to make a donation, please consider giving to HealingStrong to continue supporting those on their cancer journeys.

🍁FALL RECIPE for #healingathome
You’ll want to SAVE this post and recipe!!! We love fall over here, and so does our Founder, Suzy Griswold:
“The vibrant red, yellow and orange colors that dot across the landscape, the cool crisp air, and one of my favorite reasons to love this season is the flavors, especially PUMPKIN SPICE.
Unfortunately, what led me to loving Pumpkin Spice are the recipes that aren’t so good for me. I think many of you know what I’m talking about....I used to frequent the popular coffee hangout that is known for it’s pumpkin spice latte, or donut place that covers a muffin with sugary coated icing. Healing from cancer led me to a mindset that takes the “not so good recipes” and turns them into Good, Better, or Best recipes for my health!
So, here is a wonderful tip on how to turn an “unhealthy habit” during this season, into a wonderful way to start your day. This is one of my favorite and BEST juicing recipes. It’s full of beta-carotene, and rich in anti-oxidants. The combination of truly organic pumpkin spices also includes anti-angiogenic activity. This is not the “fake” pumpkin spice flavoring. This is ALL-NATURAL.”
🍁Pumpkin Spice Recipe:
4 medium carrots
1 green apple
1/2 sweet potato
Knob of ginger (large or small-adds more or less “kick”)
Pumpkin spice to taste

Our battle scars from life have a way of impacting the health of our soul.
Do we allow our emotions of bitterness and unforgiveness to get the best of us?
Scripture tells us that we are to forgive others in the same way that He forgives us.
As an integrated being, our Soul (Mind, Will and Emotion) plays an important role in our overall health. Our feelings, our stress levels, our thought life, etc., will impact our health in ways we could never imagine.
Head to healingstrong.org/renew to hear our dear friend, @chrisbeatcancer share about the power of forgiveness from our 2018 conference and begin renewing your soul through his encouraging talk.
Introduce a friend or family member to HealingStrong and start the journey of healing body, soul and spirit together. Healing is always easier when done in community.
Please share the name and email address of the person that you’d like to invite, and we’ll do the rest.
