Robert Hurd Obituary

Middletown - It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Robert "Bob" Hurd, 62, of Middletown. Bob passed away doing what he loved best, riding his bike. He was the Owner of GoTo Fitness in Middletown, a passion of his for many years that he made a reality after a life altering bike accident in 2015. He loved to bike, exercise and be with his family. His greatest accomplishment was riding the Mt. Washington Bicycle Ride every year. He loved Martha's Vineyard and anywhere he could ride his bike.

He has left to mourn his passing, his father Robert E. Hurd; his son Kyle and wife Elizabeth and their two children, Hudson and Hadley; his daughter Taylor, and husband Tim and their two children, Kennedy and Kru; his children's mother Karen; his sister Marcie Dudda and husband Eric and their family; and brother Bill and wife Brenda and their family. He was predeceased by his mother Maryann Hurd.

I don't think Bob ever knew how truly loved he was by his family and friends. "Ride the heavens, Bob and watch over us all. More than you know." Services were private. To share memories or express condolences online, please visit www.biegafuneralhome.com.

I knew Bob´s parents, Bob and Maryann, from St. Francis Church. Such nice people. And from what I hear their son Bob was a great person. My deepest sympathy to his dad, and entire family. So sad to hear.

Dear Bobby, We were with you when you were first married, your first house (Bretton Place?) and when you started your business. You and Karen were always a joy to be around and I loved watching the family you made together grow into beautiful young adults with their own families. May angels bring you home (even on your bike!) You will be missed by all who knew you. Watch over your family as I know you will.

So sorry to hear of this tragedy. I met Bob years ago at Snap when I was recovering from an accident. He was a great motivator and always had a smile and words of encouragement . He will be missed.

We met Bobby when he married Karen. Have had many memories of them and their children growing up. The parties and get togethers were always so much fun because Bobby made it so. He always had a smile on his face, was so respectful of his in-laws and extended family. May he ride the heavens and have God as his co-pilot. Prayers for his children and Karen.

Bobby, you were and always will be loved. I'll always remember that you were happy to see me, no matter what. Bonding over rowing and sports all those years ago. I'm so sad that we've lost you and I'm so sorry for the hole that you leave behind, so much bigger than you would have known.

Much love, Christine

Better part of 12 years working side by side everyday was a pleasure. We shared so many personal issues together and supported each other through so much of it. I was happy I was there for you everyday after your accident in 2015. I was happy to be the one who took you on your first walk outside of the ICU and hospital. Not many knew how close we were. The ones that did knew we loved each other like brothers. Keep riding!
"Too bad we gotta get old Stallion" we said it all the time.
You will be missed more than you know.

Ride the heavens and be at peace. Watch over us all. More than you know. Love you always Karen.
