Robert W. "Bob" Fancher, born on August 19, 1961, in Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away peacefully on November 12, 2025. He leaves behind a loving and cherished family who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.
Bob was a man of many talents and passions, most notably in music. He had a deep love for the art, showcasing his abilities on the keyboard and guitar, often blending his vocals into harmonious melodies. His passion led him to create a recording studio in his basement, where he could nurture his creative spirit and share his love of music with others.
In addition to his musical pursuits, Bob enjoyed spending time outdoors, particularly when it came to camping, where he embraced nature and made lasting memories with his family. His enthusiasm for life and the joy he found in family gatherings were evident to all who knew him. Family was at the forefront of Bob's life; he adored his wife Annette and took immense pride in his children—Robert Jr., Natasha, Caprice (Derek), Courtney, and Tristan. Each of his grandchildren—Serenity, Raven, Piper, Alex, Johnny, Harper, Lyric, and Dominik—held a special place in his heart, and he loved creating cherished moments with them.
Bob is survived by his three siblings: Karen (Ken) Lutz, Kathy (Jim) Shea, and William Fancher, along with many nieces and nephews who will continue to honor his legacy. He was predeceased by his parents, William and Margaret Fancher, whose love laid the foundation for the family values he cherished dearly.
A visitation with family will be held on November 17, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Vitt, Stermer & Anderson Funeral Home in Delhi, Cincinnati, Ohio, where friends and family can gather to celebrate Bob's life and share in the love he cultivated throughout his years.
Bob will be remembered not only for his profound love for music, his family and his friends but also for the warmth and kindness he shared with all. His spirit will live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.
