Robert “Bob” James Rodibaugh, Jr., 65, of Cranberry passed away on February 7, 2025 at UPMC Northwest surrounded by his family after a long, hard battle with cancer.

Born on March 1, 1959 in Oil City, he was the son of the late Robert James and Shirley Mason Rodibaugh, Sr.

For many years, Bob was a truck driver for Heath Oil.

Bob was passionate about motorcycles and spent the majority of his time not only riding them but also working on them.  He enjoyed working on any motor that needed fixing. Oftentimes, if you couldn’t find him on his Harley Davidson, you could catch him riding on his boat, camping, or just enjoying the outdoors.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Helen Gothard Rodibaugh of Franklin, his children Robert J. Rodibaugh, III and his wife, Christina, of Bethel Park and Andrew Rodibaugh of Gainsville, FL; his step-children Lisa Shreckengost of Oil City, Chad Martin of Franklin, Colton Bucholz of Cranberry; his grandchildren Ella Rodibaugh of Bethel Park, Connor Martin of Oil City, Ava Martin of Oil City, and Levi Bucholz of Cranberry; and his siblings William Rodibaugh, Catherine Rodibaugh, Barb Heckathorn, Shari Krouse, and Mary VanWormer.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Carol Nichols.

Guests will be received on Friday, February 14th from 2 pm to 3 pm with a Celebration of Bob’s life immediately following at 3 pm with Rev. Mark Rusnak officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in Bob’s memory to the Fallen Rider’s Memorial Fund, PO Box 94444, Erie, PA 16505.
