Robert W Preece Jr's Funeral & Burial Fundraiser
Donation protected
This morning, my Dad lost his battle with cancer. His diagnosis and decline occurred over the course of just a few months, leaving all of us in shock and heartbreak. Because of how sudden things progressed, there was never time to make any arrangements or set aside money for covering the expenses. This GoFundMe is intended to raise the money to help cover the cost of the funeral home's services, transportation, burial, and headstones.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1961, Robert W Preece Jr spent his life settled in SE Michigan, his roots firmly planted in Kentucky soil, and his soul connected to God. At 7.22a on Wednesday, September 21, he took his last breath on Earth and went to be home with Jesus after a short, but aggressive, battle with lung cancer.
He was surrounded at his bedside in his moment of death by his wife, Karen Marie Preece (Herzog), his daughters, Felicia Marie Preece (Joseph Weir III) and Tabatha Kristine Rodie (Herzog), and his siblings: Michael Allen Vernon Preece (Sherry Preece), Cindy Lou Preece, and Cheryl Herzog (Arthur Herzog). In his transition from this life to the next, he leaves behind a mournful family including aunts/uncles, nieces/nephews, brother/sisters, an extended family of rednecks, five granddaughters (Aurora Rain, Pepper Nova, Raven Lousie, Moira Elizabeth, and Penny Lane), and finally a host of friends and coworkers who loved and cared for him. He was preceeded in death by his father (Robert W Preece, Sr - d.2009), mother (Lou Ellen Preece - d.2018), and grandmother (Grace Andrews - d.2019).
At this specific moment, no further arrangements have been made.
