Robert was predeceased by his loving wife, Judith Kirshner Magid, z”l, and lovingly remembered by his son Adam (Dawn) Magid and daughter Jennifer Magid Schiller (Zach Schiller) and his grandchildren Maddie, Sarah, Samuel, Luke  and Brynley.

Robert Magid is part of a long history of Neveh Shalom members, including his in-laws, Hymey and Rae Kirshner. The Magid family had a special relationship with Rabbi Stampfer, who co-officiated Robert’s son’s wedding. Born in Flushing, Queens, Robert met his wife Judy Kirshner in Portland while traveling for the UJA and together they made Oregon their home. Robert was an entrepreneur and a small business owner and worked in commercial real estate. His first business was manufacturing truck campers. Robert also dabbled in politics, running for Congress in the state of Oregon. Robert will be remembered for providing opportunities for those who may not have had them otherwise, including creating a college scholarship.

The Funeral was held Monday, Aug. 31, 2026 at Ahavai Sholom Cemetery.
