Robert M. McCarrick Jr.

Robert Mark McCarrick, Jr., age 73, passed away peacefully on October 8, 2024 after a seven-year battle with health complications from stroke. He was born and raised in New Jersey, spent most of his adult life on the West Coast of sunny Florida, and later devoted most of his retirement to his grandchildren in Delaware.
He was a devout and repentant Christian, proud father, doting grandpop, hilarious "Uncle Rob," talented drummer, and skilled brick mason. He was a lover of sunshine, music, culture, style, knowledge, and family. With his blessed, talented, and strong hands-he created music; built churches, schools, and homes; supported his family; and prayed daily. He will be remembered for his generosity, humor, laughter, many talents, faith, and contributions to church, state, and community.
He is survived by his beloved granddaughters, Addison and Ainsley; his children Jamie Clarke of Delaware, Dr. Jessica McCarrick of Delaware, and Jason Jessup of Virginia, whom he shared with his ex-wife Patricia Tatick Beauchamp; his siblings Elaine Rhoades, Susan Page, William "Bill" McCarrick, Gary McCarrick, and Elizabeth "Betty" Silvestri; and a host of dearly loved nephews and nieces. He is predeceased by his parents, Robert M. McCarrick, Sr. and Marie Dolores Colavito McCarrick.
Dad, we know that you are singing and drumming in heaven, hugging Granny and Pops, surrounded by all the dogs that you have ever loved. You were the best dad any kid could imagine. We miss your dad jokes, drumming on the car dashboard with your fingers and cheering us on no matter what we pursued.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make donations to your favorite charity in his honor. A celebration of life is planned to take place in Florida, date forthcoming. Please contact the family at jamieclarke910@gmail.com for more information.
