Robert G. McKinley, 65, husband of Diane (Jacobs) McKinley, passed away peacefully on Monday, February 3, 2025, at his residence surrounded by his family.
Born in Germantown, PA, he was the son of the late Edward G. and Patricia (Aulds) McKinley.
Robert took a lot of pride in being a material transportation specialist, as a professional truck driver. But his biggest pride was being a member of the Royal British Legion and the Loyal Orange Lodge, along with being part of the Philadelphia Ulster Scottish Pipe Band as a snare drummer. His other hobbies included being a history buff and a car enthusiast throughout his life.
Surviving in addition to his wife Diane are his children Matthew McKinley, husband of Mindy; Samantha Shantz, wife of Tyler; Chase McKinley; Heather, Matthew, and Michael Quinn; grandchildren Phoenix and Peyton Shantz, Owen McPherson, and Brianna McKinley. He was predeceased by his beloved dog, Piper.
