Granite City |

Robert Douglas “Rob” Wallace, 48, of Granite City, Illinois, passed away tragically on Monday, September 9, 2024. Born on December 4, 1975, in Granite City, he was the cherished son of Timothy and Deborah (Hale) Wallace, Sr.

Rob dedicated over a decade of his career to Healthcare IT at Precision Practice Management. A true sports enthusiast, he loved watching football, basketball, and soccer, and every Sunday, he could be found cheering for his beloved Chicago Bears. Rob was also a Civil War buff with a deep appreciation for history. Known for his sense of humor and good nature, Rob delighted friends and family with his goofy impersonations of Christopher Walken and Sean Connery. He was a connoisseur of fountain sodas, always knowing where to find the best Dr. Pepper. Above all, Rob’s life revolved around his family. He will be remembered as a devoted husband and an incredible father. His legacy of selflessness, loyalty, and love will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Timothy Wallce, Sr.

Surviving to cherish his memory are his mother, Deborah Wallace; his beloved wife, of 21 years, Kelley (Williamson) Wallace; his children, Milo Rowan Wallace, Avery Karol Wallace, and Edie Jane Wallace; his siblings, Timothy (Christy Koester) Wallace, Jr. and Joseph (Mindy) Wallace; his mother-in-law, Karol (Mike) Hagnauer; his father-in-law, Edward L.
