Robert G. St. Don, 68, of Dartmouth died March 14, 2026 peacefully at home.

Born in Acushnet, son of the late Alphonse Frank St. Don and Louise (Guerin) St. Don, he lived in New Bedford before moving to Dartmouth 3 years ago.

He was formerly employed at Bob's Tire in New Bedford for over 20 years until his retirement. He looked forward to going to work everyday and considered all his coworkers as family.

Robert enjoyed yard work, everything outdoors, car shows, attending dances, car rides, listening to music, singing, and collecting shells from the beach. His most favorite things in life were listening to Barry Manilow, his collection of work gloves and talking about "My Guys" and seeing the Bob's Tires work trucks passing him on the roads. Bobby was one special man with a gentle heart, compassionate loving man, he would make you smile instantly. Bobby was loved by so many people, if you had the pleasure of knowing him you instantly made space on your heart for him.

Bobby attended the Lifestream adult day program where he had many friends and staff who loved him.

Survivors include his brother, William St. Don of Dartmouth; a sister, Carol Vieria and her husband Russell Vieria of New Bedford; 5 nieces and nephews, Linda St. Don, Shannon Vieria Samantha Laubenstein, Jason Sylvia and Joshua Vieria; 5 great-nieces and great-nephews, Hailey Andrews, Hannah Andrews, Paris Laubenstein, Savannah Laubenstein and Gavin Veira; and his caregivers, Amanda, Trish, Emily, Tiera, Adam, Nelly, Carla and the rest of Life Stream Organization.

He was the brother of the late Frank St. Don and Gerald St. Don and the uncle of the late Lisa Daly.

His funeral service will be private.
