Robert Henry "Bob" Brodbeck, age 66, of York, Pennsylvania, passed away on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at Hospice & Community Care Inpatient Center in Mount Joy, following a battle with stage 4 cancer.

Bob was born in York, Pennsylvania. He was the son of the late Ervin Raymond Brodbeck and the late Louise Mae (Latshaw) Beckman, and stepson of Donald Beckman.

Bob earned his GED and devoted 25 years of dedicated service to the York County Prison, where he worked as a Kitchen Supervisor and Officer from October 26, 1996, until his retirement on May 3, 2021. He was deeply respected and adored by coworkers and inmates alike. Known affectionately as "Kitchen Bob," he was remembered for his kindness, warm personality, and especially for the soups he lovingly prepared.

Bob enjoyed the comfort of his home and cherished time spent with his children and family. He loved watching football, wrestling, and his favorite television shows. A loyal Philadelphia Eagles and Alabama football fan, Bob also enjoyed cooking for family and friends and listening to oldies music. He was a hardworking man who took pride in everything he did.

In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his sisters, Linda Brodbeck (March 21, 2008) and Nancy Covert (April 4, 2023).

He is survived by his former wives, Susan Clemens and Teresa Poley; his children, Shawn Brodbeck, Jennifer Dillon, and Jessica Brodbeck; and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom he loved dearly. He is also survived by his siblings, Maryann Schrum, Charlotte Friese, Randy Brodbeck, and Ervin Raymond Brodbeck Jr., along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Bob's wishes were to be cremated. Arrangements are being handled by John W. Keffer Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date by his children.

Robert Henry Brodbeck will be deeply missed, and his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
