Obituary for Robert "Bob" E. Bushatz Jr.It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert "Bob" E. Bushatz Jr., age 52, of Chillicothe, Ohio, who left this world on May 20, 2025, at 1:26 PM after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on June 14, 1972, to Robert Sr. and Sandra (Miller) Bushatz, Bob was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend whose spirit touched the lives of many.

Bob is survived by his devoted parents, Robert Sr. and Sandra Bushatz; his fiancée, Barbara Zsebik, and her family; his cherished sisters, Tanya (Scott) Graves and Melissa (Trevor) Webb; his brother, James (Amanda) Bushatz; and his grandmother, Betty Miller. He was a proud uncle to several nieces and nephews, as well as great-nieces and great-nephews, all of whom he adored. Bob also held a special place in his heart for a young man, Bradley Daniels.

For many years, Bob worked as a forklift driver at Menasha in Chillicothe, where he was known for his strong work ethic and friendly demeanor. A passionate Ohio State football fan, he also had a deep love for NASCAR, with Dale Earnhardt Jr. being his favorite driver. Bob's enthusiasm for life was infectious; he was the life of the party, always ready to dance and bring joy to those around him. Bob's love for his family and friends was evident in everything he did. He cherished the moments spent with them, often accompanied by his loyal dog, Jake. His laughter and warmth will be profoundly missed by all who knew him. 

He is preceded in death by his son, Michael Daniels, and his grandparents: Doris and Bob Phillips, James Miller Sr., Fred Sr., and Bertha Bushatz. He also mourned the loss of his uncles, Fred Bushatz Jr. and James Miller Jr.In honor of Bob's life and legacy, a birthday memorial will be held on June 14, 2025. The location will be determined and announced at a later date. 

We invite all who knew and loved Bob to join us in celebrating the remarkable man he was. Bob's memory will forever live on in the hearts of those he touched. May he rest in peace, surrounded by love and light.
