Hi, my name is Crystal, the eldest stepdaughter of Robert (Bob). Bob has been in my life for 31 years and came into my life when I was around 13 years old.

Today, we lost a good man too fast who has been good to all of us: Heather, Missy, Chentel, Mark, Des'Rae, and Michaela! My mom, Karen, didn't expect when she started working at Freudenberg that her boss would turn into a friend, than start to date….. even though it took a few years (5 years) for my mom to realize he was the one, they tied the knot. He practically raised my two younger sisters as his own (their father was not involved at all).

There are seven of us kids (crazy, right!).

Bob had a long battle of Congestive Heart Failure for roughly 5 years. Those 5 years he continued to work and provide for his family. Bob was the last of his family tree, he didn’t have any other family but his own he created. He got let go of his job a month prior to his passing, which didn’t leave a lot of time to save up much for something like this nor get ahold of his insurance quick enough trying to rummage through his bills and files. My mom doesn’t even know if he still has it as he stated right before passing he had taken it out already.

His heart couldn't keep up anymore as it filled up with fluid to fast, and he is off to a better place. We all love him so much! He will be missed dearly.

funds will be used to help cremate my Stepdad and to get him a proper Urn. He is being cremated 9/15/2025 but until my mom can come up with all the funds he will stay at the crematory till then and can’t return home.

Thank you for anyone that helps and contributes even just $1 ❤️
