Robert "Bob" Osborn, 79, of Vincennes, Indiana went to be with his Heavenly Father on October 3, 2025. He was born in Washington, Indiana on August 7, 1946, to the late Carl and Mildred (Brothers) Osborn. Bob graduated from Washington Catholic High School in 1964 and continued his education into college. He proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Bob was a member of the Apostolic Lighthouse Church in Monroe City.

In his free time, Bob enjoyed mowing his yard and was blessed to be able to also mow the Apostolic Lighthouse Church yard. When he wasn't mowing, he often enjoyed walking the dog, cooking his famous enchiladas, watching basketball, drumming and singing, and being a jokester. Bob never met a stranger and loved his practical jokes. He will be deeply missed by all who have had the pleasure of knowing him.

He is preceded in death by his parents Carl and Mildred Osborn; wife Teresa Osborn; son Shaun Osborn; sister Mary (John) Perkins; and brother-in-law Earl Halter.

Bob is survived by his wife, of 34 years, Sharon Osborn; children Michelle (Chris) Burcham and Jan Bailey; grandchildren Olivia and Isabel Burcham; siblings Roberta (Chuck) Wickman and Linda Halter; and several nieces, nephews, and friends.

Goodwin-Sievers is honored to be entrusted with the care of Bob. A graveside service will be held October 8, 2025, at 1 pm in St. John's Cemetery in Washington, Indiana.
