Robert John Lafond, 56, passed away on September 28, 2024 at Norfolk General Hospital surrounded by his family and friends. He was born September 21, 1968 in New London, Connecticut as the youngest son of Paul Arthur LaFond and Patricia (Jaquish) LaFond.
Robert was a loving husband, brother, father, and grandfather. He is survived by his wife of twenty years, Victoria (LaCava) LaFond, daughter Hannah LaFond and her husband Joshua, grandson Beau LaFond, and a large extended family, including his four siblings, Paul (Jeanie) LaFond, Gillette (Herbert) Johnson, Raymond (Angela) LaFond, and Renee (Patrick) Irons, and many nieces and nephews, all of whom love him dearly.
Robert was a devout Christian, skilled tradesman, avid outdoorsman, proud patriot, and friend to many. He spent over thirty years as a career electrician with Kittrell Electric, establishing deep and meaningful lifelong friendships and a wealth of success and achievements along the way.
Robert enjoyed taking trips with his wife and family, sharing wisdom with loved ones, playing his guitar, and 'nuggling' with his dogs. He will be missed by everyone who knew him; especially those who carry on in his name.
A service of remembrance will be held at 6PM on October 7, 2024 at Hollomon-Brown, 1485 Kempsville Road, Virginia Beach.
