He will always be remembered for his quiet, gentle spirit who seldom got angry. He was “laid back” and took life as it came. He had a quick dry wit, loved to tease, and could always make you laugh or smile no matter what the situation.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bob Hoerner Sr; Mother Janet Lewis and stepmother Vivian Hoerner.

He will be greatly missed by his wife Kathy of Fairborn; son Shane (Jessica) of Fairborn; grandchildren Izzy, Sheila, Rachel, Mason and Emily of Fairborn; Daughters Janet Hoerner, Betty Bartlett, and Patricia Hanes of Dayton. He is also survived by his sister Christine (Steve) of Fairborn; sister in law Saundy (Larry) Eastridge of West Milton; nephews Steve Holmes Jr, Bryan (Amanda) Holmes of Fairborn; cousins Tobin (Amy) Hoerner and Adela (William) Dickey of Indiana; and a special friend “ like a brother” Mike Collins of Fairborn.

A private memorial service will be held at the convenience of the family. If desired, memorial contributions may be made at the Hospice of Dayton or to a charity of choice.
