Robert Strausser Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 26, 2025.
**In Loving Memory of Robert A. Strausser** *August 8, 1979 - December

30, 2024*

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Robert A. Strausser, affectionately known as "Rob," on December 30, 2024.

Born on August 8, 1979, Rob brought light and love into the world from the very beginning. He passed away in the home of his devoted parents, Harvey A. Strausser Jr. and Karen M. Strausser (Wright) leaving behind a legacy of kindness and selflessness that will forever inspire those who knew him.

Rob was a man of quiet strength and boundless compassion. He was always ready to lend a helping hand, offering comfort and support to anyone in need without hesitation or expectation. His warm smile and generous spirit were a source of solace and joy, even during life's most challenging moments. Though he faced his own struggles, Rob never let them define him. Instead, he channeled his energy into uplifting others, embodying grace and humility in every aspect of his life.

Rob is deeply missed by his loving family: his parents, Harvey and Karen; his brothers, William Strausser (wife Jessica) and Justin Strausser (Marissa); his adoring sister, Brandi Alfano (husband Craig); his nieces, Caitlin and Ashley Miller, Emily Alfano and Saylor Strausser; his nephews, Austin Miller, CJ Alfano, Alexander and Rowan Strausser; his great-niece, Everly Alfaro, and great nephews, Izaiah and Xander Alfaro, he was adored by everyone. He also leaves behind his longtime girlfriend and love, Karen Pelletier, who was his steadfast partner and saving grace for many years. Rob also had a deep love for his cat, baby girl and his bunny Harry. He had a kind heart for all animals with so much compassion and respect for them, and worked hard to improve their lives. Rob cherished his extended family and friends, all of whom were touched by his unwavering kindness and generosity.

Although Rob is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in the countless lives he touched. May his memory bring comfort to all who knew him and serve as a reminder of the power of love and selflessness. Rest in peace, Rob. You will forever remain in our hearts.
