Robert Blakely Obituary
Robert Blakely, 67, of Virginia Beach, passed away on August 29, 2025. He was born on July 17, 1958, in New York to the late Russell Blakely and Mildred Miller.
After completing school, Robert dedicated his working life to construction, specializing in siding. Known for his strong work ethic and steady hands, he took pride in projects that improved the homes and lives of others.
For the past 34 years, Robert shared his life with his devoted companion, Teresa Hamilton. Together, they built a life rooted in love, laughter, and loyalty-rarely seen apart, they spent nearly every day side by side. Robert will be forever missed by Teresa, as well as extended family and friends who knew him as kindhearted and dependable.
Robert lived most of his adult life in Virginia Beach, where he also passed away. In his free time, he enjoyed simple pleasures-time outdoors, good meals, and quiet evenings spent in the company of the people he loved.
There are no services scheduled at this time.
