Robert H. Ball's Obituary
Robert H. Ball, age 59, of Muskegon, passed away peacefully on May 31, 2025, at Trinity Hospital in Muskegon, Michigan.
Born on March 12, 1966, in Wabash, Indiana, Rob was the beloved son of the late Ernestine A. Johnson and Robert Greene. He was also preceded in death by his grandparents, Frank and Rena Dutcher; his son, Matthew Ball; his brother, Bruce Pingleton; and his sister, Shelly Ball.
Rob was a proud and loving father to six children: Thomas (Amanda) Munafo, Robert (Shiana) Ball, Riley (Taylor) Ball, Tyler (Claudia) Ball, Rebecca (Harold) Ball, and Brittany(Kris) Ball. He cherished his role as a grandfather to 21 grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in his heart.
He is also survived by his brother, James (Linette) Ball; and sisters, Ginger (Arkie) Welch, Pamela Ball, and Lori Cruz.
Rob was a man who found joy in life’s simple moments. He loved gathering with friends, enjoying music, having a drink, and playing a good game of pool. In his later years, one of his favorite pastimes was taking long drives in his truck—just him and the open road.
Robert will be cremated in accordance with his wishes. A Celebration of Life will be held on July 19th from 1 -4 PM at the White Lake VFW Post 3256 in Montague, Michigan, where friends and family will come together to honor his memory.
He will be remembered for his fun-loving spirit, his loyalty, and the love he shared with those lucky enough to know him.
