Help Fund and Support Bob Stiles' Memorial

Donation protected
It is with a very heavy heart I write that we lost a truly irreplaceable soul this past weekend in a tragic and unforeseeable house fire. 

Bob Stiles passed away in his family home on February 27th, 2021, leaving behind his family, friends, and beloved dog Shelby, who was able to escape the fire, alert the upstairs neighbor and lead them to safety. 



Anyone that ever had the absolute pleasure of knowing Bob knows just how charismatic, witty, and smart he was. He was able to have a conversation with anyone, and always did it with an open mind. He was guaranteed to make you laugh if he didn't make himself laugh first. He had a huge heart full of acceptance, but did not live to impress or conform. He was unapologetically himself through and through and we were blessed to have someone like him in our lives for the lucky years that we did. 


He leaves behind many broken hearts but even more unforgettable memories. 


Due to the circumstances of this event, nothing within his unit of the home is salvageable. This, along with his declining health over the past few years,  has left the family in need of support for the cremation and memorial costs.

Donations will also be made to the Sycamore Public Library's Children's Department as he left in his last wishes. This is a tradition that has been passed down for many generations. 

Please share and donate to this cause and Bob's wonderful family in any way you can.
