Robert Eugene Anderson, lovingly known as Bobby, was born in Norfolk, Virginia, on April 15, 1968, and went to be with the Lord on August 31, 2025.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents and his father.
Bobby leaves behind his beloved wife, Robin Anderson, and their two sons, Kaleb Ray Ballard and Logan Michael Ballard. He is also survived by his two daughters, Brittney Anderson (with her partner Travis) and Christina Anderson (with her partner L.B. Withers), along with his cherished grandchildren: Robert, Brett, Payton, Bradyn, Mason, Annalynn, Sawyer, Joseph, Nathan, and Skylea Rae.
Bobby had a faithful love for the Special Olympics and was a dedicated coach who cared deeply for his players. He was an avid fan of the New York Giants and the New York Yankees. A faithful member of Cornerstone Church of God in Norfolk, Virginia, Bobby also shared a special bond with his favorite pet of all time, "Chewbacca".
He leaves behind many nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles, all of whom will carry his memory in their hearts. Bobby will be truly missed and forever loved.
