Robert "Bob" McDonnell Obituary
Bob grew up in Hesperia and enjoyed helping his dad on the family farm. He loved to keep busy, whether it was working on cars or riding his Harley around the backroads of West Michigan. Music was also one of Bob's passions; he played bass in the cover band Brimstone at many local bars back in the day, and in more recent years he enjoyed classic rock and roll and country.
Bob is survived by: his children, Robert (Heather) McDonnell-Douglas and Wesley (Gina) Douglas; sister, Cathy (Tony) Herin; and good friend, Jim Craner.
Bob was preceded in death by: his parents, Robert Sr. and Marlene McDonnell; and brothers, David McDonnell and Dean McDonnell.
In accordance with Bob's wishes, cremation has taken place and no services will be held at this time.
Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service, Hesperia Chapel, is in charge of arrangements.
