Robert A. Lessack

Robert Lessack, age 75, of Vero Beach, FL, passed away suddenly but peacefully on May 10, 2025. Born on September 17, 1949 in Jersey City, NJ, Bob graduated from Rutgers University with a master's degree specializing in creative arts. After being an art teacher for 8 years, he followed his entrepreneurial spirit and became a life-time business owner. Bob took pride in his creativity and work ethic. He said that he'd never retire and would work until his last day – he achieved this promise.
Out of the office, Bob enjoyed pool volleyball with his closest friends in the pool he proudly designed, joking around on the tennis court and dancing to live music. He travelled the world and always came back with amazing stories, from meeting Pete Townshend of The Who at the private club in St. Jame's (London) and making Bloody Marys for Robert Plant in the airline lounge, to sharing a bottle of Vodka with Zak Starkey after a charity concert in Pacific Palisades. At home, Bob loved to make everyone laugh with intelligent jokes (and goofy ones too) and always laughed along when someone made fun of him.
Bob loved people and always looked after those around him. His friends will all remember his upbeat personality, big heart and generosity in offering help – particularly in construction, design and business ideas. He will be remembered for being the One of a Kind Bob and for living life to the fullest.
Bob is preceded in death by his parents Norman A. Lessack and Cecile Smith. He is survived by his wife Jiachen Lessack, his brother Steven Lessack and wife Sue, his children Seth Lessack and wife Jennifer, Josh Lessack and wife Keri with their children Haylin and Carter.
A visitation and memorial service will be held at 1pm on Thursday, May 15th, 2025 at Strunk Funeral Homes and Crematory. In lieu of flowers and tears, the family asks that you share your fondest memories of Bob who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
