Robert R. Sharkey

February 10, 1982 - November 18, 2016

Robert Sharkey 34, of Manteno, Illinois and native of Southern California, passed away on November 18th 2016, from complications arising from a recent fall.  He is survived by his fiancée Samantha Minnich of Manteno, Illinois, his parents Carole and Jeff Fortenberry of Manteno, Illinois, Jay Ranney of Southern California, Grandmother Patricia Sharkey of Anaheim Hills, and 3 brothers, Steven Sharkey, Kevin Fortenberry and Andrew Fortenberry, all of Manteno, Illinois, numerous Aunts, Uncles and cousins from across the country.  Robert was born in Laguna Hills, California on February 10th, 1982.  He graduated from High School in Southern California before enlisting in the Marine Corps for 4 years, where he was a heavy machine and boat mechanic.  He also worked at a large distribution center in the South Suburbs of Chicago for many years as a Supervisor.  He was a huge Spiderman, Star Wars, Walking Dead and pretty much any Marvel/DC superhero fan.  He was also inseparable from his dog Bowser, whom he loved dearly.  Robert was a loving person who would pretty much help anyone who asked. Robert’s personality was infectious and he was usually the life of the party.  Robert was the type of person that would not want his friends and family being sad by his life ending, but rather, celebrate the loving and happy memories that we shared.
