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.”
