Robert Hayley Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Czopek Funeral Directors on Mar. 9, 2026.
Robert A. Hayley Jr., born October 22, 1973 in Lincoln Park, Michigan to Robert and Jean (Revis) Hayley, passed away on March 6, 2026 at the age of 52.

Robert spent his career as a dedicated dispatcher for a trucking company, where his steady commitment and reliability earned him the respect of coworkers and drivers alike. Outside of work, he was a passionate sports fan-especially when it came to all things Michigan and Detroit. Whether cheering for the Wolverines or supporting his hometown teams, Robert's enthusiasm was unmistakable and deeply felt by those who knew him.

He is survived by his beloved children-Hunter, Shianne, Zoie, and Robert III-who were the pride of his life. Robert also leaves behind his cherished siblings, Cindy Woods and Chris (Karen) Wooten; his treasured grandson, Oliver; and seven nieces and nephews who adored their Uncle Robert.

Robert will be remembered for his humor, his loyalty, and the love he carried for his family. His presence will be deeply missed but forever held in the hearts of those who knew him.

A memorial is being planned for a later date and service times will be updated once available.
