Robert W. "Bobby Wasabi" Weidler, Jr., 56, graced the world with his infectious spirit on July 29, 1969, in the vibrant city of Denver, Colorado. A beloved son, brother, and uncle, Bobby's journey came to an unexpected close on Monday, January 26, 2026, leaving behind a tapestry of memories threaded with laughter, generosity, and a remarkable zest for life.
Bobby grew up in Drexel Hill, PA. He attended St. Aloysius Academy and St. Dorothy Elementary. Then St. Joe Prep in Philadelphia, PA. He graduated from Holy Name High School in Worcester, MA, in 1987. Bobby's academic journey led him to earn a bachelor's degree from Penn State, enriching his life with knowledge. His love for learning paralleled his passion for music—a love that resonated deeply in his soul. An ardent Grateful Dead Music enthusiast, Bobby could often be found at Terra Fermata, surrendering to the melodies of live performances that stirred his spirit. His eclectic taste in music expanded beyond the Grateful Dead; it embraced nearly every genre, creating a soundtrack for a life well-lived. Bobby was a colorful man, embracing all the colors of the world, and especially enjoyed writing short sonnets.
Forever the embodiment of warmth, Bobby was known far and wide for his outgoing personality and his unwavering eagerness to lend a helping hand. His career as a dedicated drug and alcohol counselor, coupled with his role as an insurance placement provider for children with autism, reflected a profound commitment to nurturing others. He approached every challenge with an open heart, offering support and understanding to everyone he encountered. His latest career was driving for an auto parts company and driving people with his personal livery service. He loved being a free spirit.
Among the gentle waves of the beach or gazing into the stars, Bobby found solace in both the nature of the beach and astrology, capturing moments of peace that mirrored his free-spirited nature. With an excitement for life that was contagious, he inspired those around him to embrace their true selves and seek joy in the everyday.
Bob lived and worked in Pottsville for 20 years before coming to Stuart, FL, in 2017, until January 26, 2026, when his journey ended
Bobby leaves behind a loving family who will carry his memory in their hearts. He is survived by his mother, Ruth Emma Weidler, and his father, Robert William Weidler, Sr.; his brother, David Harry Weidler; and his cherished nieces, Delaney and Ella, and many valued friends.
As we gather in remembrance of Robert W. "Bobby Wasabi" Weidler, Jr., let us celebrate the legacy of a man who lived passionately, loved fiercely, and impacted countless lives along the way. His spirit will forever echo through the melodies he cherished and the lives he touched.
