Obituary of Robert Howard Button
Robert Lee Howard-Button, 35, of Winamac, IN passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, November 11, 2020 from a heart attack at Advocate Trinity Hospital in Chicago, IL. He was born on September 15, 1985 in Knox, IN and was the beloved son of Jerry Ray and Sharon [Howard] Button. He was fondly known as “Big Bob” or “Tiny” but many just knew him as “Bob”.
Bob graduated from Winamac High School in 2004 and was currently self-employed. He was an avid dirt track racer and fan. Bob was a friend to everyone on and off the track. He enjoyed the outdoors and working on anything with wheels. More than anything, Bob loved spending time with his friends and family. He loved his fiancée, Nicole, and his daughter, Raeleigh, who was the light of his life.
Although he left us way too soon, Bob has left us with wonderful memories that will last forever.
