    • Full Obituary

      Robert Lee Dascotte Sr., best known as Bob, passed away on August 3rd, 2022. Bob is survived by his wife Tami, his son Robby, daughters Brandee and Amber, his brother Tom, and sisters Melinda and Sharon. He is preceded in death by his brother Steve. Bob’s greatest joys, his grandkids, are Tanner, Morgan, Megan, Shelby, Carter, Mackenzie, and Carlie.

      Bob was a man born a century after his time. He often immersed himself in his beloved hobbies, like going hunting, fishing, and working on guns to the tune of classic country music. He loved being in nature and spending time with friends, family, and his spoiled Shih Tzu, Mylee.

      At the age of 16, Bob married his high school sweetheart, Tami, and made a living working on diesel engines; he could break one down and put it back together with his eyes closed. He cherished his time spent at “Campo,” a quiet piece of land he acquired and camped at with family and friends. Campo was his happy place where he would go on hunting excursions, or to unwind and spend quality time with those close to him.

      Bob’s desire to move back to Illinois was realized after he retired in 2011 and moved to Albion, Illinois. He immediately befriended Fred, owner of Whistle Stop Gun Shop, and helped him by sharing his endless knowledge of gunsmithing.

      Bob would want everyone to remember all of the good times, and take comfort in those joyful memories. He would ask that we look out for the love of his life, Tami, and check in on her from time to time.

      Bob will forever remain in our happy memories and keep a special place in our hearts. He believed in the Bible’s promise of a resurrection, and we look forward to the time when we will be reunited with him in Paradise.

      I am still in shock over the death of my uncle Bob. His accident just goes to show you that we never know when we may die and that we should cherish every single moment we have with our families. We all get busy living our lives and take for granted the people we love. I lost my uncle Steven Eugene Dascotte when i was around 11. My father Tom Dascotte is left with no brothers in his life. I just cant imagine the pain he’s in.
      My love goes out to my aunt Tammi, my cousins Robbie, Amber, Brandee, and all of Bob’s grand children. It is comforting to know just as Bob did we have the hope of seeing him in Paradise when Jehovah God resurrects those who faithfully followed him.

      This is a really nice description of Bob. I wish he had more time here but he did fill his life with things he enjoyed and he always seemed to be at peace. He will be missed. Our thoughts will be there with you on the day of the service and beyond.

      Bob was one of my best friends ever. We would go off on our hunting and trapping adventures from grade school on, these were the best times of my life. I remember when they ran off and got married, she was so pretty. As time went on we drifted apart. But at the class Reunion a few years ago it was like we had never been apart. He will be missed .
