Robert H. Dudley

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Robert H. Dudley on Wednesday, December 10, 2025. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at VCU Hospital in Richmond, VA.

Bob was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity of a lifetime, a second chance in life, when his heart failed. He underwent a successful heart transplant on May 6, 2025. Unfortunately, he was presented with relentless challenges. He remained optimistic that tomorrow was going to be the day things turned around and he would begin to regain the strength needed to finally come home. He was on the road to recovery until things took a fast turn for the worse the last few days of his life that his body was not strong enough to overcome.

Bob was a proud businessman. He established Signature Series Construction, Inc. and Signature Series Development, LLC. His reputation and success through the years was built through his character, honesty, integrity, and loyalty. His legacy will live on!

Bob enjoyed his social life. He always made a presence. His personality and demeanor were loved and enjoyed by all. His most enjoyable times were spent with family and friends. Bob cherished 46 wonderful years with the love of his life, his wife Gale. He was so proud of his daughters as they grew to be wonderful mothers. His grandchildren then became the lights of his life. He enjoyed watching his grandsons play baseball and his grandchildren dance. Bob also enjoyed playing golf, 4-wheeling with his brothers, tailgating at Redskins games with friends, vacationing with family, friends, and business associates, and spending time in Florida. Every morning, Bob looked forward to going to work to continue to build his company to what it is today!

Bob was born and raised in King George, VA and then moved to Stafford, VA where he lived his life with his family. He is survived by his wife, Gale; daughters, Kelly Stempin and Brittany Alexander; sons-in-law, Bryan Stempin and Ryan Alexander; grandchildren, Robert Stempin, Brock Stempin, Mackenzie Alexander, Maverick Alexander, and Mason Alexander; and brothers Jesse Dudley, Jr. and Daniel Stacy Dudley. He was preceded in death by his parents, Myrtle and Jesse Dudley, Sr.

Robert H. Dudley, you will be forever remembered, forever missed.

The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, December 29, 2025, at Covenant Funeral Service, Stafford. A service will be held at 12 p.m. on Tuesday, December 30, at the funeral home chapel. Interment will follow in Spotsylvania Confederate Cemetery.
