Robert Janak Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Matz Mt. Prospect Funeral Chapel, Inc. on Oct. 15, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Jason Janak, beloved
father of Christine (Eric) Zimmerman, Jacqueline (Shane) Tierney, Nicholas Szypulinski,
and Valerie Janak, grandfather of Rebecca, Emily, Henryk, Benjamin, Finn, Harrison,
and Charlotte, and brother of Edward, Richard and Mark Janak. He left us peacefully on
the 14th of October 2025 at the age of 64.
Robert was a man of boundless kindness, unwavering care, and a heart full of love for
his family. His laugh, loud and unmistakable, was a soundtrack to the many memories
we hold dear. Whether it was a silly joke, a witty one-liner we lovingly call "Bob-isms", or
just his infectious sense of humor, he had the unique ability to make anyone around him
smile. His jokes, crazy and clever, were legendary, and his playful spirit kept everyone
on their toes.
Above all, Robert loved his family with all his heart. He was a constant source of
support, guidance, and joy, and his love for those he held dear was the foundation of
everything he did. His caring nature touched all who knew him, and his presence will be
deeply missed by all whose lives he touched.
Though he has left us, the laughter and love he brought into our lives will remain with us
forever. He was preceded in death by his father, Edward Janak, and mother, Irene
Janak.
Rest in peace, Dad. Miss you forever.
