Robert was born July 27, 1983 in Mattoon, IL, son of Robert Lewis Leach Jr. and Clara Robin (Dixon) Leach.

Robert is survived by his parents; sister, Amber (Ian) Hendrickson of Charleston, IL; nieces: Alexis and Elise Gray, also of Charleston; the love of his life, Sarah Carr of Hidalgo, IL; grandmother, Marilyn Leach of Hammond, LA; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Robert Leach Sr.; grandfather, Alvin Dixon; and grandmother, Wanda Dixon.

Robert had worked as a material handler for R.R. Donnelley in Mattoon, IL. In his free time, "Bob" enjoyed taking road trips driving his Jeep Wrangler. Bob had a never-ending fondness for Mexican food. He had a passion for music, and valued 1960's and 70's bands the most. His music passion encouraged him to learn how to play the piano and guitar, self-taught. Bob appreciated humor and comedians, and he loved to find humor in life's circumstances and always made others laugh.

Bob enjoyed living a very simple lifestyle. He cherished many good times with his aunts, uncles, and nieces, and will be fondly remembered as a very kind person who always lent a hand and was always appreciative when his family or friends lent him a hand.
