Robert Maxey Obituary
Bobby graduated from St. Agnes Catholic School, Sacred Heart-Griffin High School in 2006 and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2010. He worked for the State of Illinois for about 10 years, including at the Illinois State Comptroller's office, the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal and the Elizabeth Parsons Ware Packard Mental Health Center, all in Springfield.
He was a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer and was devoted to personal health, fitness and wellness. He loved visiting Colorado, hiking and cycling, and he enjoyed astronomy. He also volunteered locally with the Fishing Has No Boundaries program. Bobby loved spending time with his family and friends and was always concerned about others.
He is survived by his parents, Bill and Kathy Maxey of Springfield; two sisters, Emily K. (husband, David) Drennan of Sherman and Elizabeth L. Maxey of Springfield; one niece, Eloise; one nephew, Eli; one aunt, Mary (husband, David) Moreland of Chatham; three uncles, Steve (wife, Fran) Durako of Silver Springs, Maryland, Jim Durako and Bob (wife, Deb) Durako, both of Springfield; and one cousin, Chris Maxey, of Austin, Texas.
A private family burial will be held at Calvary Cemetery in Springfield. A celebration of life gathering will be held at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be made to Animal Protective League, 1001 Taintor Road, Springfield, IL 62702 or the Mary Bryant Home for the Blind and Visually Impaired, 2960 Stanton St., Springfield, IL 62703.
