Robert Alan Matthias

Robert Alan Matthias age 63 of Crown Point, In, passed away on Thursday May 30, 2024 with his loving family at his side.

He was born and raised in Beecher, Illinois, then settled onto a five acre farm in Crown Point, Indiana. Above all, Rob’s life was defined by sharing his love and time with his family. Robert is survived by his wife of 21 years, Cammille, his children, John Freyek (Michelle), Luke Matthias, Annie Matthias, and Adaire Matthias; his grandsons, Riley and Remington; his parents, Wilbur and Rose Matthias; his sisters, Patti Headrick (Ron), and Deb Zych (Don); his sisters-in-love, Charmayne Champion-Shaw (Kevin Sr.) and Cassandra Champion; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Robert was a well-respected Artifact & Antique Dealer. Owner of Roberts Relics. He was a longtime member of the Central States Archaeological Society as well as Archeological Societies in Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Tennessee, and Kentucky. He was a long-standing member of the Redwing Crock Society, Lightning Rod Collectors and Even Marbles. His collection spanned far and wide.

A lifelong learner, Bob was accomplished in carpentry, car care, sign-building, golf and so much more, but most of all, he was incredibly proud to be an American Farmer. He and his loving wife, Cammille, created an incredibly kind and caring family while restoring life back into a big red barn that now stands as a testament to all that he built. (UtterClutterBarn).

A celebration of life will be held on Friday, June 7, at Fagen-Miller, 8580 WIcker Ave in St. John, Indiana. From 10am to Noon with a Prayer service at Noon.

To his Rock Buddies, be mindful. I know he will have a hand on your shoulder leading you to THE SPOT in the Fields.
