It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Robert L. DeLong Jr. at age 65 on December 27,2024. Robert left this world unexpectedly, leaving behind a life full of warmth and generosity. His quick wit, compassionate nature and smile will be deeply missed.

He is also survived by his brother Rick DeLong (Marie), sister Darryl Collins (Ralph), nephews Reagan DeLong (Lydia), Tanner DeLong, and niece Kelly Carter (Brook). Robert also leaves behind a circle of friends who cherished his loyalty, humor and willingness to lend a helping hand.
