Robert Michael McMillan - February 29, 1980 - January 01, 2023

Departed: 01/01/2023 (Lake Villa)

Obituary Preview: Robert Michael McMillan, 42, of Antioch, Illinois passed away unexpectedly on January 1, 2023. He will be greatly missed as a father, husband, brother, uncle, son and friend.

Robert was born on February 29th – Leap Day – in Springfield, Illinois to Bill and Jennie McMillan, the fourth child of six. The family moved to Ingleside, Illinois when Robert was 9. Rob graduated from Grant High School in 1999. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Sacramento, California. Robert worked for EMCO Chemicals and would have celebrated his 20 year anniversary this year.

Robert met Melissa on December 22, 2002, and they were married 4 months later. In their 20 years together, they moved in the north Chicagoland area a few times, spending the majority of their time in Fox Lake and Antioch. Melissa and Robert have 4 beautiful children.

Robert took "fandom" to a whole new level. His love for his hometown Chicago Cubs, Bulls and Bears was surpassed only by the manner in which he cheered on and supported everyone else around him. Within minutes of arriving, Rob would have made friends with everyone within a high-five's reach of his seat in any stadium. And his support didn't end with his favorite teams. In recent years, he could be heard supporting the teams of his friends and loved ones - and not just the easy-to-support Kansas City Chiefs. It even extended to teams that were tough to support - namely the Detroit Lions. But never the Packers. But he still loves some specific Packer fans.

Robert was also an athlete, having lettered in multiple sports throughout his formative high school years, including basketball, football and track & field. He continued his love for basketball as an adult, often playing on weekends against players much younger - though never quite as sneaky-fast - as him.

Rob enjoyed playing video games with friends and family, and actively participated in fantasy football - through which he always enjoyed strengthening existing relationships with his family and friends.

Of all his interests and hobbies, supporting his children (in their athletic - and other - interests) took top priority. He could often be found cheering heartily on the sidelines as both an assistant coach and loving and passionate parent. He was also well known for attending and supporting his nieces and nephews at their activities as well - and reliving their successes with as much passion as a play-by-play announcer on the rides home.

Rob’s absence in the lives of those who knew him leaves a deep void. Robert is survived by his wife, Melissa, children Avery, Zoe, Harper and Weston, mother Jennifer, brother David, and sisters Judy Luther (Michael), Becky McMillan (Danielle), Marcia Linderman (Rob) and Christa Nava. He is preceded in death by his father, William.
