Mr. Trebilcock passed away peacefully at 6:28 p.m., Tuesday, November 10, 2026 at his home.

Bob was born June 3, 1939. He married the love of his life, Belva Gene Ball, on June 28, 1968, in Denver, Colorado. Belva preceded him in death on March 26, 2023. Together, they built a life filled with family, hard work, adventure, and countless memories. Bob was a man who believed that anything was possible. If someone told him something couldn’t be done, he was likely to take it as a challenge and prove them wrong. He was a builder in every sense of the word. He founded and built Supreme Showcase, now known as Supreme Marble and Counter Tops, and took great pride in creating things with his own hands. He also designed and built the homes where he and Belva lived, including an earth home in Caulfield that incorporated his own ingenuity in creating the surrounding lake and water system. Bob proudly served his country in the United States Army as a paratrooper. He had a curious mind and a creative spirit, and over the years he enjoyed writing, building, and rock hounding. He loved to travel, especially alongside Belva, and some of their favorite adventures were trips to explore old ghost towns. He never seemed to lose his sense of wonder or his desire to see what was around the next corner. Bob’s faith was an important part of his life. After a journey from atheism to Christianity, he became deeply committed to his faith and spent many years serving as a Sunday School teacher. He was a member of His Place House of Worship and found joy in sharing what he believed with others. Above all else, Bob was a devoted husband and father. He loved his family deeply and took great pride in the lives of those he raised and those who came after him.

He is survived by his children, Karen Gruender and Michael Goure and wife, Annette; nine grandchildren; nineteen great-grandchildren; and many great-great-grandchildren.

In addition to his wife, Belva, he was preceded in death by his parents; two sons, Larry Goure and Gary Goure; and two grandsons, Nathan Goure and Robert Goure.

Burial will be at Oak Lawn Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Wounded Warrior Project or Shriners and may be left at or mailed to Robertson-Drago Funeral Home, 211 W. Main St., West Plains, Missouri.
