Robert Michael Obituary

Visit the Flanner Buchanan - Memorial Park website to view the full obituary.

Robert Lee Michael, 43, of Beech Grove passed away unexpectedly on July 3, 2024. He was born on April 13, 1981, to the parents of Wilfred and Ann Michael. Rob was a skilled auto mechanic, which was not only his job, but his passion. He was a kind soul, generous with his time, and always willing to assist anyone in need. 

Rob married his childhood sweetheart, Erin Michael. Their life spent together was filled with strong love and happiness. Most importantly he was a father to Robert Jr. (4 days old), Quinlee (12 months), Katelyn (21), Mariah (24), Kailah (26). His children were his meaning to life and his motivation. He also was a very loyal and caring son to his mother, Ann. 

Rob is preceded in death by multiple family members whom he dearly missed. 

A visitation will be held on Monday, July 15, 2024, from 1PM-3PM at Flanner Buchanan—Memorial Park, 9350 E Washington St. Indianapolis, Indiana, 46229. A graveside service will begin at 3:30PM. Due to his son, Robert Jr. being a newborn, the family kindly asks after your viewing you proceed outside or in the lobby of the funeral chapel to limit his exposure to the public.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Indianapolis Animal Care Services. 

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
