Robert L. Park

Robert L. Park, a beloved father, grandfather, and great grandfather, passed away peacefully on June 7, 2025, at Accolade Healthcare of Danville, Illinois. He was 72 years old. Born on November 17, 1952, in Danville, Illinois, Robert was the son of John J. and Lavina O. (Ruggles) Park.

Robert dedicated his life to his family and friends. He was married to the love of his life, Susan L. Sullivan, on June 16, 1972, in Shively, Kentucky. Together, they created a nurturing home filled with love, laughter, and endless memories. Robert was heartbroken by Susan's passing in 2018, but his spirit remained strong, fueled by the love of his children and grandchildren.

He is survived by his devoted children: Lori Jones, Carri (Brian) Baker, Robert A (Jennifer) Park, Nancee (Thomas) Maquet, Mandi (Steve) Crawford, and Kaylee (Adam) Winkle. Robert leaves behind a legacy of love, reflected in his numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and pride. He is also survived by several brothers and sisters.

Robert was not only a family man but also a passionate sports fan. He enjoyed cheering for his favorite teams: The Washington Redskins, The Chicago Cubs, and The Fighting Illini.

Robert is preceded in death by his parents, his wife, a brother, and a sister. He had a unique ability to bring people together, and his laughter and unique sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Memorial Services will be held on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at Hope Unlimited Church First Assembly of God, 428 N. Walnut St., Danville at 10:00 a.m. 

In this time of grief, we remember Robert L. Park not just for the dates that marked his life but for the love he shared, the memories he created, and the legacy he leaves behind. Rortvedt Funeral Services and Crematory are in charge of the arrangements. His spirit will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.
