Robert Bainter Obituary
Throughout his life, Robert faced challenges with dignity and courage, and his long battle with cancer demonstrated his remarkable strength and resilience. Those who knew him will take comfort in the thought that he is now at rest, free from pain, and perhaps enjoying the celestial melodies he so cherished on earth.
He is survived by his father, Robert (Karen) Bainter; his sisters, Tennille Moloch and Michelle McKee; his brother, Chad Bainter; and his sister, Elizabeth Minet. He was preceded in death by his mother, Anna K. McKibben, who no doubt welcomed him with open arms.
Indiana Funeral Care in Indianapolis, Indiana, is providing support to the family during this time. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Robert's memory may be made to Indiana Funeral Care, in recognition of his life and the care he received. Robert will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his memory will be cherished forever.

I went to school with Rob and I remember a year where he and I and his bf at the time and mine would sit together at lunch and talk about how we were going to have an elephant ear stand and get rich. The 4 of us were going to build it and run it. Lost touch over the years but I always laugh thinking of those lunches. So sorry for your loss

My favorite my time with my brother is when we went to Panama beach. It was very chill and relaxing. Seeing dolphins on the boat ride and walking the beach with Tennille and Robbie. I love you Robbie and you are missed

Robbie is a childhood friend. I have a few memories with him n his sister Michelle living beside them on N.Delphos st. Robbie always like to play like private investigators.lol It was really a lot of fun. He had this old type cassette recorder n he'd record us. Boy,would he get mad if we wasn't listening to him n goofing off n he'd have to rewind it n tape it again.lol Another memory was sitting on our porch around Halloween time, telling ghost story's. He was a good story teller.
Rest Well my friend

Robbie absolutely adored Madonna...this was taken at her concert in Chicago. We couldn't get an Uber for the return back to the hotel so we got on a carriage that was pulled with a bicycle! It was great....I'll cherish that moment forever!

I met Rob at McDonald's where we worked together for many years. We became friends, roommates for about a year, did some traveling and had some crazy times. He could always tell a good story. He produced and starred in the Robbie Bainter Show where he had memorable interviews. Rest easy Rob, you will be missed. I am sure you will be the first to welcome Madonna upon her passing.
