Robert G. "Bob" Render

Robert G. "Bob" Render, age 64, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, July 11, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Bob was born on Sunday, May 28, 1961, in Madison, Wisconsin to Dennis Render and Carol (Airola) Zavodny. He attended Round Lake High School. On May 24, 1983, Bob married the love of his life, Cherie Mastandrea. Together, they built a beautiful life in McHenry, Illinois, where they raised their family and created a home filled with love, laughter, and countless memories.
Bob spent over 30 years as a truck driver in the construction industry before retiring in 2023. He was a proud member of Teamsters Local 301. Known as a "jack of all trades," Bob could fix just about anything-often found tinkering in his garage working on cars, machines, and pretty much anything with an engine. His mechanical skills and generous spirit made him the expert that everyone went to when they needed help. Bob had a deep love for the outdoors. Whether camping in his fifth wheel, fishing, shooting, snowmobiling, or riding his Harley, he cherished time spent in nature. Some of his favorite destinations included South Dakota, Montana, and anywhere out West-especially the mountains, which held a special place in his heart. Above all, Bob was a devoted husband, a proud father, loving son, and a doting grandpa. He was also a loyal friend to many. His steady presence, kind heart, and sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Survived by his loving wife, Cherie; children, Mindy (Eric) Lindholm, Tiffany Judt, Steven (Sharon Johns) Render, Robert A. Render, Thomas (Angelea Campione) Render, Autumn Render; 14 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren; mother, Carol Zavodny; brother, Dennis (Ana) Render; sisters, Debbie Walsh, Stacey Render-Nseir, and many nieces and nephews.
Preceded by his father, Dennis Render; step-father, Steve Zavodny; son, Robert A. Render; granddaughter, Kayla Judt; Brother, Troy Zavodny.
