Robert Eugene Merryman, Jr., 47 of Joffre, PA, affectionately known as Bobby to his family and friends, was taken from us all too soon due to a motor vehicle accident on August 23, 2023.

Born in Washington, PA on October 20, 1975, Bobby’s vibrant spirit illuminated the lives of those around him for 47 years.

Bobby was born to Robert Eugene Merryman, Sr., and the late Margaret Diamond Merryman. He grew up alongside his siblings, sharing in the joys and challenges of life. A graduate of West Allegheny High School, Bobby made a name for himself as a dedicated wrestler, displaying his determination and commitment on the mat.

Following his high school graduation, Bobby pursued his passion for culinary arts, attending Culinary Arts School. Despite his culinary aspirations, Bobby found his true calling as a handyman.

Bobby’s legacy lives on through the memories he shared with his loved ones. He is survived by his father, Robert Eugene Merryman, Sr.(Denise); his siblings, William “Bill” Merryman (Kayla) and Cassy Jo Merryman (Eric).

He leaves behind his fiancée, Jessica Harris, who stood by his side through thick and thin, offering unwavering support and companionship. He also leaves behind his children, Fantasia, Victoria, Christopher, Isabel, Ayden, Rebecca, Tristan, and Mikiya. He is also survived by his grandson, Harlan Lance

As we mourn the loss of Bobby, let us also celebrate the vibrant life he led. May his memory serve as a reminder to cherish our time with loved ones and to hold them close in our hearts. Though he is no longer physically with us, Bobby’s spirit will forever live on in the stories during his time on this earth.

Bobby will be cremated and laid to rest with his mother.

A Celebration of Bobby’s Life will be held at a future date in time. In the meantime, please share stories at www.grecohertnick.com

  2. Candle Selection 3Jessica, you and your little girl is in my prayers. I’m glad that I got to meet Bobby because he made my cousin Jessica very happy.

  3. Candle Selection 2You will be sadly missed… Enjoyed all our lil chit chats when we had time in this busy life… Prayes to all the family

  4. As everyone sits here and says how you will be dearly missed. This is the first time in my life I feel peace knowing you are not putting yourself or others in harms way. As I never wished death upon you, I’m glad you can now be the most pure version of yourself. The best version to meet, the one you always tried to be but failed due to drugs and addiction. Weather it be your fault or a shitty past none of that matters now. I pray that anyone who loves you reads this and gets clean does the right thing and moves forward honoring your memory making better decisions when you lacked the ability to do so. I will continue to build bonds with the siblings you blessed us all with. I pray they all can find peace in their hearts for lives they endured due to your decisions. I pray they never become anything like you, I pray they all strive to be like anyone but you. As I’m sure there are plenty of amazing things about you its unfortunate that your children didn’t get to experience just that. I pray you are at peace and we can all move forward with less hate in our hearts knowing we will meet the best version of you one day and be at peace together. Until that day fly high. I’m sorry I can’t say you’ll be dearly missed as I never knew you to miss you. 🙏
