Robert William Richards Jr, beloved son, grandson, nephew, cousin, friend, and boyfriend, age 26, of Martinsburg, West Virginia, formerly of Augusta, West Virginia, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, January 7, 2023 in the home he shared with his girlfriend and fur daughter.

Robert was born on August 6, 1996 in Petersburg, WV to April Chilcott and Robert Richards. He graduated from Hampshire High School in 2014. He was formerly employed by Trex, BC&C, and Axalta.

Robert loved the outdoors and living life to the fullest. He spent his time off floating, fishing, kayaking, camping, and going to concerts. He was quite the gear head and loved anything with a motor. He always knew how to make an entrance by revving his big Ford truck. Robert was known for his kindness and wasn't afraid to get dirty. He was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone that needed it. He had a smile that could light up a room and a laugh that was contagious. He valued family and loved spending time with them.

Robert is survived in death by his parents, April Chilcott and Robert Richards Sr, of Capon Bridge, WV, sister, Tonya Alonsagay and his two nieces of Lusby, MD and little brother Arlie Richards of Roanoke, VA, his beloved grandma Elizabeth Richards of Capon Bridge, WV, and his partner in crime, the love of his life, Samantha Fletcher with his fur daughter Bella. Along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins and friends.
