Robin N. Copley

Robin N. Copley, age 71, of Water Street in Ovid, passed away on March 4, 2025, at Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca following a long-term struggle with cancer.

Born on March 25, 1953, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a son of the late Frank and Bertha (nee Tesh) Copley. Robin spent many of his years as a resident of the Syracuse area, before settling down in Ovid for the last decade of his life.

Throughout his career, Robin was known for his commitment to his work, spending many years as a truck driver. His understanding of the open road and dedication to his family was a testament to his strong work ethic and determination.

He leaves behind a loving partner of over 40 years, Pamela Swank. Robin is also survived by his daughters: Crystal Harrison of Syracuse, Dawn (Jamie) Copley of Cazenovia, Cayse Copley of Albany, and Cory (Justin Wright) Copley of Ovid. He was a proud grandfather to: Yazmeena, Kristiana, Damien, Akiel, Corrianna, Ayden, Akayla, Cameron, Raymond, and Arabella and by his brothers, Steve and Randall Copley. He is preceded in death by his siblings, Bunny and Tony Copley.

A private service will be held by the family, and a Celebration of Life in the Syracuse area will be announced for later in the summer of 2025.
