Robert (RJ) Hissner was born on October 1, 2010, and unexpectedly passed away on June 5, 2025, at the tender age of 14 years. RJ had so much determination to overcome the struggles that presented themselves due to being diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome (a rare genetic disorder). RJ's greatest gift was his smile with crator sized dimples and his infectious laugh. His smile and laughter would brighten up a room. RJ brought love and joy to so many and his sense of humor always kept everyone laughing. RJ loved spending time with his family and dogs. He enjoyed facetime calling family and friends. RJ enjoyed playing with toys at school, sensory bins, lawn mower, and leaf blower. He will always be missed and forever loved.
RJ is the son of Sarah (Herman) and Timothy Hissner JR. He is survived by his mother and father, his brothers Quentin and Preston, Grandparents John and Rose Herman, Grandparents Timothy SR and Rita Hissner, Uncle David Herman and Uncle Matt Watson, Aunt Tracy Herman and Cousin Kayla Herman, Uncle Steven and Angela Hissner and Cousin Noah Hissner, Jeremy Hissner and Tara Pete and cousin Jax (Hissner) Toler.
Public calling hours will be held on Thursday June 12 from 4-7pm at Cox Funeral Home; 1376 High Street Wadsworth.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Angelman Syndrome Foundation at angelman.org in the name of RJ Hissner.
