Robert Steven

Beasley

Robert Steven Beasley was born on April 2, 1953, in the beautiful Bluegrass State of Kentucky. He was lovingly raised by his parents, the late Doris Virginia (Painter) Beasley and Robert Murray Beasley. His family later moved to Virginia. Bob graduated from W.T. Woodson High School in Fairfax, Virginia, and earned a bachelor’s degree in information technology from Strayer University.

Bob spent many years working in information technology at CACI. In later years, he enjoyed working as a greeter at Home Depot, a role well suited to his friendly, outgoing personality.

In his younger years, Bob sang in the men’s choir, coached high school basketball in Northern Virginia, and enjoyed dancing with Cecelia. He also participated in Civil War reenactments, and his regiment was featured in the film Glory. He enjoyed fishing and crabbing from the pier in Ocean City, Maryland, with his parents. In later years, he enjoyed relaxing at the pool and beach with Cecelia. Bob also enjoyed watching the Washington Redskins/Commanders and especially treasured family game nights.

Bob shared 47 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Cecelia. She was the love of his life, and he cared for and provided for her through every season of their lives together. Cecelia, in turn, lovingly cared for him, preparing his meals and tending to his needs. Their devotion to one another was at the heart of their marriage. Their daughter, Christine, and their grandchildren were their greatest joy.

Bob loved the Lord and cherished his faith and church community. In earlier years, he especially enjoyed teaching Sunday school to young children alongside Cecelia and participating in men’s Bible study.

Bob is survived by his daughter, Christine Lauderdale; his son-in-law, Jerry; his grandchildren, Brittney, Nick, Dylan, Ethan, and Skylar; his sister, Kathi Cash; his brother-in-law, Randy Cash; and his nieces, nephews, and cousins.

United by love for 47 years on earth, Cecelia and Bob are together in heaven, where their love will continue for eternity.
