Robert Manders Obituary

Robert "Bob" Manders

02/22/1979 - 12/28/2025

Robert "Bob" Manders, age 46, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home on December 28, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on February 22, 1979, in Toledo, where he was also raised and spent his life.

Bob was a 1997 graduate of Central Catholic High School. He was a devoted husband and a loving son and brother. He is survived by his wife, Jessica Miller; his parents, Kathy and Bob Manders; his sister, Chrissy Manders; his parents-in-law, Jerry and Lisa Zalewski; and his beloved nephews, Braden Hubbard and Noah Hubbard.

Bob will be remembered for his kindness, loyalty, and the care he showed to those around him. He valued his family deeply and shared close bonds with those he loved. He was a big Star Wars fan and a proud Ohio State Buckeyes fan.

Bob's Celebration of Life will be held on February 28, 2026, from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m., at the Greenwood Park Shelter House, in Toledo, Ohio. Family and friends are all invited to attend and honor Bob's memory.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
