Vincennes, Indiana – Robert "Bob" Thorne, a beloved resident of Vincennes, Indiana, passed away unexpectedly on August 24th, 2024, leaving his family and friends in deep mourning. Bob was known for his unwavering willingness to help others, whether it was fixing cars, working on homes, or tinkering on various projects in his garage. His love for his life partner, Holly, his children, grandchildren, and all who knew him was evident in everything he did.
Bob’s passing has left his family facing significant financial challenges, as there was no life insurance in place to cover the unexpected memorial expenses. The costs have been further compounded by the fact that Bob was in Michigan at the time of his passing, and his final resting place is to be in Vincennes, Indiana, alongside his mother and two brothers.
To ensure that Bob’s final wishes are fulfilled, his family has launched a fundraiser to help cover the costs associated with bringing him home and arranging the proper memorial services in Indiana. Amanda Thorne, the organizer of the fundraiser, expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of support they have already received.
As of the latest update, $340 has been raised out of the $6,000 goal, with contributions from several generous individuals, including donations of $100 from Keithy Deisher and Jessie Flores, and $50 from Jessica Bochner and Tiffany Halter.
The family is committed to honoring Bob’s final wishes and ensuring he is laid to rest where he wanted to be. They are appreciative of any contributions, thoughts, and prayers during this difficult time. Final arrangements for Bob’s memorial in Indiana will be announced in the coming days.
