Robert Jackson McIlrath, 38, of Cary, IL, passed away on August 20, 2018.
Rob was born March 22nd in Waterloo, Iowa to Laurie (Smith) Johnson and Randy McIlrath. Rob loved his family with his whole heart; his wife Haley, his children Addie & Oliver, parents, parent-in-laws, brother, sister, nieces, nephews, and all his extended family. He loved to refer to his friends as “brother”. Rob never met a person he didn’t immediately build a relationship with. He has loved the Chicago Cubs since he was old enough to know baseball and he never faltered and remained a dedicated fan! What a joy when they won the World Series. Rob also loved Harley Davidson bikes and was blessed to work at 2 great Harley Davidson franchises. He even restored a 1980 Ironhead Sportster.
