Cumberland, MD-
Sean Austin Robey, 28, of Cumberland, MD, unexpectedly went to be with the Lord on November 23, 2025.
He was born to Michelle Lambert and Todd Robey on November 16, 1997.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Royce and Norma Shatzer, August Robey, and Billie Bowman, all whom he loved and adored very much.
Sean was a jack-of-all-trades. He loved working on houses and cars. He was always asking around, trying to find projects, and posting his finished projects on Facebook for all to see. Sean has a dog named King he has left behind. King loved Sean and it showed. Sean had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. He is already missed so much.
Sean is survived by his mother, Michelle Lambert, and fiancé Shane Thompson; father, Todd Robey; siblings Britney Robey and Dylan Lambert. He had a special love for his nieces and nephew, Ry'Lee Brooks, Amirah Brooks, Milani Robey, and Khyrie Bates. Special family members include Peyton Thompson, Richard Bowman ("Pap"), Cindy Galligher ("Grandma"), Cyndi Bowman (aunt), Becky Bowman (Granny Beck), David and Katie Bowman and family, Nichole Kasecamp and family, Rick Bowman, Jr., Mikey Grimm, and many others. Sean had a few special friends: Danny, Eli, and Ty, who are missing him dearly.
There will be a private service, with Chaplain Paul Demers, officiating.
Condolences and donations to offset funeral costs can be sent to Upchurch Funeral Home, P.A., 202 Greene Street, Cumberland, MD 21502.
