Robert Earl Weeks, age 60, passed away on January 22, 2019 in Cleveland, Ohio after years of serving as an inspiration to those around him as he battled numerous health challenges. The “Energizer Bunny”, as many thought of him, is finally resting.
Beloved husband of Rhonda (nee Goldsmith); loving father of Amanda; son of Jeanette (nee Ruskey) and the late Merle; brother of Lois Shuptar (Doug), William "Irvin", Steve and the late Sandra Weeks Rosas.
Bob grew up in East Lansing, Michigan, and after graduating from Michigan State University’s School of Hospitality Business, began working in hotel management with Helmsley Hotels, holding positions in Lansing, MI, Huntsville, AL, Atlanta, GA (where he met Rhonda) and ultimately, Cleveland. From there he moved into retail supermarket management for several years with First National Supermarkets until deciding to venture out on his own as a small business owner. Starting in 1999 with the Week’s End Tavern, he subsequently purchased a car wash, two storage units and then circled back to his original passion of hotel management by acquiring the Comfort Inn & Suites in Streetsboro, Ohio.
He was an example to many of what it means to work hard and make something of yourself, and he will be dearly missed by all those whose lives he touched over the years.
