Robert Cosio Obituary
He was the beloved son of Isabel Molina Cosio and Jose Robert Cosio and he had a deep bond with his family. He graduated from Auburn High School in 1979 and pursued his passion for welding at Rockford Vocational Tech afterward, where he honored his skills.
Robert dedicated many years (17) of his life to Liebovich Bros, Inc, working as a Sheet Metal Cutter and Welder, demonstrating immense pride in his craft.
His late wife, Beatrice, was a cherished partner in his life, and her memory remains in the hearts of those who loved her.
Robert had a green thumb and found joy in gardening. His love for various indoor and outdoor plants, including vibrant roses and flowers, brought beauty to his home, where he spent many hours nurturing the gardens in his front and backyard. Robert was also an avid Chicago Bears football team fan and enjoyed watching wrestling. He also enjoyed working on his home.
He is survived by his loving sister, Sandra L. Cosio of Rockford, his sister Maria L. Cosio from California and brother Richard L. Cosio also of Rockford. Robert's legacy continues through his nieces and nephews: Special niece Francine Jimenez, Teya Gregg Cosio, grandniece Nadeah Jimenez, grandnephews Gary Henderson, and Rafael Mendosa, Jr., along with his aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who will forever hold him in their hearts.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. May his spirit find peace, and may his memory bring comfort to those he left behind.
He is preceded in death by Beatrice "Bea" Cosio, wife, who died on March 17, 2002, Isabel Molina Cosio, mother, 03/11/2019, Jose Robert Cosio, father, 08/07/2005.

Although I have not known the family long, I had the pleasure of taking care of Robert through OSF St. Anthony Hospital. It was so nice talking to him and Sandra. Sandra, you took such good care of Robert and I know he truly appreciated you and everything you did for him. I was blessed to get to know him and his family in a very short time. I offer my condolences in his passing. Robert, you have truly gained your wings.
