Bob Eyre, 74, of Sardinia, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026 at his home.  
 
He was born Dec. 25, 1951 in Seaman, the son of Joseph Alton Willard and Thelma Hazel (Shoemaker) Eyre.
 
Bob was a bricklayer for many years before he went to work at Paxico, where he retired in 2015 after 10-plus years. He loved the outdoors and found peace in nature, especially in watching birds. He never met a stranger and valued friendships deeply. His greatest joy was his family, especially his son, his best friend. They spent many Sunday mornings having "church in the woods"cutting and gathering wood together for the wood stove. He was a devoted fan to the Cincinnati Bengals.
 
Surviving are his son, Zach (Ciera) Eyre of Lynchburg; stepdaughter, Angie (Deron) Bolender of Mt. Orab; seven grandchildren, Faith Eyre, Hope Eyre, Isaac Eyre, Jordon (Brianna) Bolender, Hannah Bolender, Caden Bolender and Sydney Bolender; three great-grandchildren, Wyatt Eyre, Wyatt Bolender, and Aiden Bolender; five siblings, Nancy Knabb, Cheryl Jennings, Dave (Melodie) Eyre, Linda (Mark) Paeltz and Joe Eyre; and many nieces and nephews.
 
In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Cynthia Ellen Eyre, who passed away on Jan. 31, 2000; and a brother-in-law, Bill Knabb.
