Robert Blake

Robert Blake, age 58, passed away on March 5, 2025. He was born on July 12, 1966, in Wilmington, Delaware, to his loving parents, the late Patricia A. (nee Creamer) Cawley and George W. Blake.

Beloved father of Mary Beth (nee Blake) Kiss (Tyler) and John Blake, he shared his children with former spouse, Mary D’Onofrio. Dear brother of William Blake (Mary) and Michael Blake. Treasured uncle of Ashley (nee Blake) Tucker and Brandon Blake. He was also blessed with a lifelong best friend, Donald Bersacola, Jr., who was like a brother to him.

Robert was a man of many passions, including baseball, weightlifting, bodybuilding, and mixed martial arts. He had a deep love for rock & roll music and a special bond with dogs and horses. A devoted fan of Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Indians and the NFL’s Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns, he found joy in cheering for his teams. A 1984 graduate of Midpark High School, Robert spent years driving front-end loader trucks, excelling in skills competitions. His heart was always on the pitcher's mound, where he found his greatest peace. A proud and active member of A.A., Robert valued growth, resilience, and the support of those around him. His life was a testament to strength, perseverance, and love. In his memory, let us carry forward a simple yet powerful reminder: "Be kind, always".

Bob will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
