Jeffrey Robert Obituary

Jeffrey W. Robert, 45

WORCESTER - Jeffrey W. Robert, 45, of Worcester, died suddenly Saturday, February 18th during a Fatbike bike race. He is survived by his parents, William R. and Ruth E. (Clark) Robert of Leicester; his brother, Jonathan E. Robert and his wife, Melanie of North Reading and by many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Jeffrey was born in Fort Leonard Wood, MO and proudly served his country with distinction in the United States Marine Corps, serving three tours during Operation Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom I and Iraqi Freedom II attaining the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. Jeff had been employed by the former Bicycle Alley and most recently was employed by Landry's Bike Shop as a bike fitter and sales person. He was a passionate rider and extremely proud of his military service. Jeffrey was active in many charitable organizations including working with veterans suffering from PTSD, Breast Cancer Awareness and the Marine Corps, Toys for Tots Program and had also served in the Marine Corps Honor Guard. His passion for cycling was evident to all that met him. He found joy in introducing the sport to new riders and always shared words of encouragement for his fellow riders. A cycling ambassador and a true patriot, he will be sorely missed by family, friends, and all who knew him.

You have shown many a new rider, like myself, how to be strong and proud of what we can do. You stood behind many, giving words of encouragement, cheering us on. I want to say thank you; you gave a new insight and meaning to riding. My next trip down the road, with my feet firm on the pedals, it will honored to dedicate that ride to you. Well done Jeff. RIP.

Jeff,
Thanks for being my friend at LHS and supporting me every weekend.
You, Lee Dykas and I, I have some great memories of the three of us!
While still in High School we went to the USMC recruiting office every weekend for pre Marine Corps training. One thing was for sure, we wanted and were going to be US Marines, The Few, The Proud.
You were the one that made a career being a Marine, how we envied you!
I will always remember you for the friend and man that you were.

SemperFi Gunny!
Proud to call you my friend,
Randy Roso
