Robert Ellis Weekley, Jr.'s Obituary
Always Made Friends Along the Way. Rob Weekley 1962-2024
Robert Ellis Weekley Jr. was born in Springfield, Missouri to Judy Weekley & Robert Weekley. He attended Wentzville High School while living in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri and graduated from Sherwood High School in Olney, Maryland. He graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture Business from the University of Delaware and belonged to Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Rob enjoyed a long and successful career in the Pharmacy Industry in Delaware. Throughout his travels and moves, he never stopped making lifelong friends along the way.
Rob thrived as a father to his son and daughter and 'Pop Pop' to his beloved 4 grandchildren. Rob traveled throughout the U.S. and to ocean sanctuaries where he could scuba dive. His soul soared most when he was being of service and helping others. He trained the family dog Simba to be a Therapy Dog at hospitals.
Beyond his greatest love of spending time with his children's families and friends, he soared enthusiastically with the Eagles and helped his Mother after his Father passed. A lifelong dream, Robert retired and moved to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware where his joyous final years were spent volunteering at Cape Henlopen State Beach and hosting his family at the beach. Robert is survived by his son, daughter, four grandchildren, his mother, his sister and her daughter and son.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations in his honor to his favorite charity: Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Delaware.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
