Robert “Bob” Moon
Robert “Bob” Moon, age 60, of Hillsboro, Missouri, passed away peacefully on May 15, 2026. Born on November 12, 1965, in Waukegan, Illinois, Bob grew up in the Zion and Joliet areas.
After high school, Bob proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he dedicated several years as a police officer in New Lenox, Illinois, where he received numerous commendations and went on to complete his Master’s degree. Bob’s passion for service and education led him to a long career with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) as a dedicated educator and expert marksman. He ultimately concluded his professional career serving fellow veterans at the VA.
Outside of his career, Bob was a lifelong, avid fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. He cherished every moment spent with his family and his beloved boxer dogs. Known for his kind heart and great sense of humor, Bob left a lasting, unforgettable impression on everyone he met.
Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Jerry and Madge Moon. He is survived by his loving wife, Diana Kidd; his daughter, Caitlyn Moon; his sisters, Lori Toth and Shannon Ahern; and a large, loving extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

My condolences to all of Bob’s family. He was larger than life – all who knew him couldn’t help but smile in his presence. He was always funny and the first person to make fun of himself. He will be missed, cherished and loved forever.
Gary served in the Air Force with him. He was such a huge part of our lives then. It was nothing for us to come back to the apartment to a note that said I ate that dead banana, or whatever. He knew he was always welcome to whatever we had. I’m thankful we stayed in touch with him. He will be missed.

Bob was a great friend growing up in Joliet. He stood up as one of our groomsmen in our wedding back in 1987. Always fun to be around and make you smile and laugh. We lost touch for a bit then we’re reconnected through facebook. So sad to hear this news of his passing. He will be greatly missed!
Caitlyn, Lori & Shan, Si sorry to hear the loss of your dear father and brother, Bob. He would have made his parents, Madge & Jerry , of his fabulous careers. USAF and Federal services. Aunt Jackie told me he was the number one marksman . Just another Campbell / immediate family member gone-His Creator got the best. !
His dog , also will miss him. Rip 🙏- Kathi Furdeck – old neighbor on Cayuga.

I attended Joliet East High School with Bobby, he was the nicest friend always smiling.
