Robert Posey Obituary
February 28, 1963 - February 28, 2022
Robert "Handsome Bob" Posey passed Monday, Feb. 28, 2022, at the age of 59, at Lake Norman Regional Medical Center, surrounded by family and friends. Robert died on his birthday and would have considered this a favor to his wife, as she could celebrate and mourn all in one day.
He was born on Feb. 28, 1963, in St. Louis, Mo., to Robert Anthony and Karla Posey, who preceded him in death and have been waiting on him to discuss some of his early life decisions.
He is survived by his wife, Dale, whom he lovingly referred to as "Mama Bear;" daughter, Cynara Johnston; granddaughters, Jade and Ezzie; sisters, Trish (Speedy), Linda; brother, Thomas (Jennifer); niece, Dana; and nephew, Ian, all of whom still claim him as family and referred to him as Big Bear, Dad, Opa, Brother, Uncle and other descriptive references from time to time.
Robert was a local business owner (Fitness on Demand) and personal trainer. He was loved by many in the community and not so loved by many others. The latter part of this life was spent helping people accomplish their goals and reminding them of when they had too much cake or wine. He was the guy who always knew a guy when you needed something, helped make connections among friends and was always willing to lend a hand.
His chaotic early years will be remembered as the bad choices that made good stories and memories. His latter years will be remembered as time well spent with family and friends out on the boat, dining at local restaurants and bringing friends together. Everyday was lived to the fullest and as Frank Sinatra said it best, "He lived life his own way."
A celebration of life will be held at 3 p.m., in the Heritage House at Cavin-Cook Funeral Home, Mooresville, with Eddie Karriker officiating. The family will receive friends from 2 to 3 p.m., at the Heritage House, prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to friendsofthesmokies.org.
