Robert "Bob" A. Egyed

Robert “Bob” A. Egyed, age 60, died peacefully on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at Serenity Hospice and Home in Oregon, IL, surrounded by his loving family.

Bob was born September 29, 1965, in Rockford, IL, the son of George M. and Ann Marie (Soukup) Egyed. He graduated from Oregon High School in 1983. On April 18, 1998, he married the love of his life, Marcy DeArvil, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Oregon. Together they built a life centered on faith and family.

Bob built a long and successful career in the automotive industry, beginning in car sales and advancing into the finance office before transitioning into banking. Through dedication and integrity, he became a respected VP Indirect Lending Relationship Manager, ending his career with Huntington National Bank. He valued the relationships he built and took pride in serving others well. His work ethic is unmatched.

He faithfully served his community as a member of the Oregon Ambulance Service for five years and with the Oregon Fire Protection District for 26 years.

Bob attended Calvary Lighthouse Church in Rochelle, where his faith remained a steady foundation throughout his life.

He enjoyed coyote hunting, fishing, golfing, woodworking, and sports photography — especially capturing his daughters’ athletic events. He was a loyal brother, friend, husband, father, and grandfather. Always the first to lend a helping hand, he was a multi-talented DIY’er with a heart of gold. He told the best (and longest) stories and had a genuine smile that reached his eyes. He was simply a great man who will be deeply missed by his family, devoted friends, and business acquaintances.

He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Ann Marie Egyed, and his infant brother, Joseph Paul Egyed.

Bob is survived by his loving wife, Marcy; daughters Ellie Egyed and Kaitlyn Egyed (Myles Miraglia); his cherished granddaughter, Mileena Bobby, all of Oregon, IL; siblings Marjorie (Bill) Lindenmier of Oregon, IL; James (Cathy) Egyed of Oregon, IL; Barbara (Tony) Kubat of Roscoe, IL; Mary (Larry) Bull of Leaf River, IL; Andrew (Christy) Egyed of Oregon, IL; and Michael (Tricia) Egyed of Oregon, IL; along with many nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at Calvary Lighthouse Church, 14409 E. Henstock Rd., Rochelle, IL 61068, with Dr. James Horvath officiating. Visitation will be held from 5–7 PM on Friday, February 20, 2026, at Farrell-Holland-Gale Funeral Home, 110 S. 7th Street, Oregon, IL. Burial will follow at Daysville Cemetery near Oregon.
