Life Story / Obituary
Robert Dean McFarland, age 60, passed away unexpectedly, Friday, October 11, 2024. He was born in Racine, March 24, 1964, son of the late Robert and Priscilla (Nee: Eland) McFarland.
Robert was a graduate of William Horlick High School “Class of 1982.” He was previously employed in sales by Hals Harley Davidson, and most recently as a driver for Forward Air. He was a long time member of HOG (Harley Owners Group) for more than 20 years traveling and making many friends along the way. He was also a member of The Racine County Line Rifle Club and the NRA. Robert’s pastimes included hunting and fishing. Bobs real passion started when he was 6 years old when he took his first ride on a Honda Z50 our parents purchased. From then on there was no turning back. He was the very proud owner of over 15 motorcycles. His last ride was on his favorite and current Harley.
He will be dearly missed by his brothers and sister, David McFarland, Patrick (Linda) McFarland, Kathy (Phillip) Kucera, Scott (Colleen) McFarland; nieces, nephews, other relatives and many dear friends.
Relatives and friends may meet and greet Robert’s family at the funeral home on Friday, November 1, 2024, from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital or to the American Heart Association have been suggested.
