Robert Gibbons Obituary

ROBERT B. GIBBONS Robert B. Gibbons, Jr, "Bobby", beloved son, brother and friend, chose to end his pain and suffering on January 13, 2017 in Raleigh, NC. He was 52 years old. He leaves to mourn his death his devastated family: his parents, Luanne and Harry Hege of Nags Head, NC, his sister and brother-in-law, Teri and Tim Podsiadlik of Germantown, MD and his brother, Greg Gibbons of Arlington VA. In addition he was proud of his two nephews, Chris and Josh Podsiadlik. A graduate of American University in Washington DC, Bob previously worked for the Department of the Treasury, TRW, Inc, and the American Chemical Society. He served as a Network Administrator with the Pender Country Government and most recently as a Network Engineer, with Cincinnati Bell in Wilmington. There will be a memorial gathering at a later date. To celebrate his life, the family suggests donations to: Bethel Colony of Mercy, 1675 Bethel Colony Road, Lenoir, NC 28645 in Bobby's memory. He was unique, remarkable and much loved. He is at peace now.
