Robert Ferguson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 24, 2024.
Robert Richard Ferguson, known to many as Bob or Rob, passed away on April 11, 2024, in Detroit, Michigan, at the age of 37. He was born on July 26, 1986, in Clare, MI.

Bob was a very talented and generous individual. He had a knack for repairing things like plumbing, furnaces, electricity, and automobiles. His skills extended to tattoo artistry, woodworking, and carpentry. His sense of humor brightened the lives of those around him. An outdoorsman at heart, Bob enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and boating.

Tragically, Bob and his beloved Erica were victims of a homicide in Detroit. Their untimely departure has left a void in the lives of many who knew them. Bob will be remembered for the positive impact he had on those around him.

He is survived by his mother Carol Ferguson (Seilicki), father Kenneth A Ferguson, daughter Sofia S Ferguson, brother John D Seilicki & his wife Rebecca, along with his sister Lexi and grandmother Anita Quinn (Saputo), as well as several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Bob was preceded in death by his grandfather Stanley B Seilicki, grandfather Kenneth Ferguson, and grandmother Bess Burdette.

Bob attended Gladwin High School, where he excelled in track and field, winning accolades and setting state records for high jump.

Bob's memorial service will be held on 5/11/24 ant 11am. Call Carol for details. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him.

Many apologies to my first born child John Seilicki. I erred in not adding you to Bob´s obituary. So very sorry!
I remember vividly how when we bright Bob home, you looked at him. Took a minute or two to access this new addition and then declared, "I wanted a brother my size to play with, not a baby!"
You were really pissed off.
