Robert Mass Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Whiting's Funeral Home - Williamsburg on Jan. 19, 2026.
We are saddened to announce the passing of Robert Lawrence Mass, who was born on January 28, 1981, in Inverness, Florida. He peacefully departed from this world on January 8, 2026, in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Robert was the beloved son of Mary Easter and Harry Mass Jr. He also leaves behind his bonus daughter Aubrey, who he truly loved with all his heart and was so proud of her; his sisters, Melissa and Shayna; brothers, Harry, Patrick, D.C., and Robby; nieces, Mariah, Taylor, and Anna; nephews, Mikey, Cameron, Noah, and RJ; cousins, Brittney Mayes, Lonnie Mayes, Kristin Mass, Holly Mass, and Abby Mass; and literally an entire village of "family/friends". He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harry and Evelyn Mass, and Grandpa Robert Damone; his dearest aunt Jeannine Mayes; and his best friend Mia Suddreth.

Robert was a wild child who lived his life his way, fast and furious, and no one could tell him otherwise. He loved his family and his friends dearly, and he was cherished by his many other beloved friends and family members, which is just entirely too many to list, so just know Robert loved each and every one of you!

He grew up in Williamsburg, Virginia, and was a part of the Bruton High School Class of 1999. He grew up working in construction, where he worked on everything from houses to boats. Robert was very social and also enjoyed the atmosphere of working in restaurants, including bartending and serving.

In his free time, Robert enjoyed being outdoors, hiking, listening to music, fishing, a good party, and being by the water. He was a devoted Washington "Redskins" fan. He loved to make people laugh, and we all know the ladies loved him, too. He lived life to the fullest and had a beautiful smile. A smile that, when you caught a glimpse of it, made you smile too. He was a free spirit who loved with his whole heart and gave the best hugs. Robert would want us to remember all the good times, the funny times, the olden times, the highs, and even the lows. He would want us to hug each other a little tighter and tell each other we loved him and that he loved us too!! This one hurts deep. We love you, Rob!!!!

Robert Mass will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

There will be a Celebration of Life gathering for Robert on Friday, January 30, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Williamsburg Moose Lodge, 5429 Richmond Road, Williamsburg.
