Robert Eugene Motsinger, Jr., passed away unexpectedly on Monday, April 24, 2023 at the age of 61. Born on April 18, 1962 to Robert and Nancy Motsinger, in Chillicothe, Missouri, he was the only son of five children. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Motsinger, grandparents Ruby Motsinger, George Motsinger, and Carl and Theresa Ragusa.

He adored his nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews and cousins. Kids just gravitated toward him because he was so ornery and fun.

Rob graduated from Belton High School in 1980 where he was a member of the band, football team, and golf team. He graduated in 1984 from CMSU with a BS in Marketing and where he was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.

Rob loved cars, water sports and donuts. He had special times with each of his children – boating, kayaking, fishing and attending various band activities that they were involved with. He was immensely proud of their accomplishments and was their biggest cheerleader! He very seldom missed family events and attended band performances, golf tournaments, and football games of his nieces and nephews and cousins. He was the ultimate family guy, jokes included. He was a witty, loved to dance and all-around great guy. He will be missed forever.
