October 5, 1965 – September 18, 2017
Robert ‘Bozo’ Gene Ball, 51, Noblesville, passed away on Monday, September 18, 2017 at home. He was born on October 5, 1965 to Bobby and Pauline (Hendricks) Ball in Chicago, Ill.
Robert relocated to Noblesville in 2002 to be closer to his family, whom he loved profoundly. He had been a professional truck driver for 20 years, most recently driving for Martin Transportation. He had also been involved with the family business, T-Ball Dogs, in Noblesville. He was the life of any party or gathering, especially family functions. You could always count on him to make a joke and make everyone smile. He loved his dog, Diamond, his Harley Davidson motorcycle and the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs.
He is survived by his mother, Pauline Ball of Noblesville; son, Zachary Alan Ball of Troy, Ohio; brother, Harold Ray (Melissa) Ball of Conover, N.C.; brother, Alfred Thomas (Shirley) Ball of Noblesville; sister, Loretta Lynn (Irvine) Thomas of Gilbert, W.V.; nieces and nephews William (Samantha) Ball, April Landel, Aaron Ball, Anthony Stapleton, Bobby Thomas, Ashley Ball and Joshua Thomas; and a host of extended family and friends. Very special friends Tony, Timmy, Murphy and Ziggy will miss him greatly also.
In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by a son, Anthony Michael Ball; a sister, Sally Jo Ball; niece, Tabitha Ann Ball; and great-niece, Caitlin Rose Williams.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, September 21, 2017 at Randall & Roberts Funeral Home, 1150 Logan St., Noblesville, with visitation beginning at 11 a.m. Mr. Thomas Ball will officiate. Burial will be at Crownland Cemetery in Noblesville.
