Robert “Shawn” Repking, age 58, longtime resident of Chicago Heights, Illinois and formerly from Flossmoor, Illinois passed away on November 5, 2021. Loving husband of 32 years to Emily (née Karwowski); beloved father to Jennifer Repking and Sarah Repking. Beautiful son to Ronald J. and Antoinette (née Vagnone) Repking.

Fond uncle and great-uncle to many. 

Graduate of Homewood Flossmoor High School Class of 1981. Received his Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University Class of 1990.

From a young age, Shawn loved to take things apart to see how they worked and put them back together. He loved working on cars and tinkering with anything he could. He was especially proud of his antique clock collection. In good weather, if he was not in the garage working on a project, he would be out driving his “Baby,” a 1973 Triumph Spitfire. In bad weather, Shawn loved to watch classic movies or listen to old time radio shows like “Dragnet.”

    I will greatly miss my brother Shawn – I love him dearly. We had great experiences from singing classic rock together, to his love of fishing on camping trips, and to my eyes wide open watching his axe fall on a chicken’s neck for that night’s dinner at Uncle Ralph’s farm. He deeply loves his Emily and has been very proud of Sarah and Jenny – his family was everything. He was very nostalgic with our old kid’s programs – Diver Dan, Suzy Snowflake, and old radio shows – this rubbed off on me. I am grateful we were able to have a last meal together. We love you Shawn – Dave, Pam, Maddie and Emma
