Robert P. Marley

Robert P. Marley February 18, 1960 – September 9, 2025 Robert Patrick Marley, 65, of Lower Gwynedd, PA, passed away tragically on September 9, 2025 in a bicycle accident. Born on February 18, 1960, in New Brunswick, NJ, Robert was the beloved son of Emmett and Virginia (née DeLuca) Marley. Raised in Edison, NJ in a hardworking and loving home, Robert always put family first throughout his life. He attended Lehigh University, where he studied Electrical Engineering, and went on to Fordham University School of Law, where he met the love of his life, Susan O'Hagan. They married in 1989 and shared 36 wonderful years together, raising 4 children who adored him. He was known among the intellectual property bar as an insightful advocate. He leaves behind a world made better by his life, and he will be so deeply missed. Robert was an avid cyclist since early childhood, a joy he passed on to his family and shared with his cycling team of many years. A true engineer, Robert relished working with his hands, particularly rigging household gadgets and building innovative machinations from scratch to the delight of his family and friends. Robert's mechanical ingenuity was matched only by his silly sense of humor and quick wit, often deployed with flawless comedic timing. He was quietly brilliant, and lived every day for others. He was generous with his time and always looking to lend a hand. He did so much for so many. Robert's memory will be cherished by his beloved wife, Susan (née O'Hagan); his beloved mother Virginia; his daughters, Elizabeth (Joseph Motola) and Emily (Christopher Bragale); his sons, Daniel and Michael; his soon-to-be grandson, whose middle name will be Robert; and his devoted goldendoodle, Rory. He is also survived by his sister, Kathleen Marley-Matts (George Matts); and his many treasured nieces and nephews.
