Robert Wayne Kirker

Robert Wayne Kirker (“Robbie”, “Bob”) of Rockville, MD, passed away on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, at 69 years old. A lifelong resident of Montgomery County, Bob met his beloved wife, Mary, of 45 years in 1976.

An avid Nats fan, he loved taking in the games with his family and friends. After a 40-year career with Giant Foods, he flourished in retirement, enjoying plenty of golf and fulfilling his dreams of traveling the world. But, his favorite past times were spending time with Mary, his children and grandchildren, and enjoying Friday night bourbon with dear friends.

Bob is survived by his wife, Mary; his children, Victoria Kirker (Andrew Connors) and Robert Kirker (Melissa Pavilack-Kirker) and his adored grandchildren, Sam & Cora Kirker-Connors and Avery Kirker. He is also survived by his brothers, Craig Kirker (Mary), Dean Kirker (Linda) and Linda Kirker (Jim), 13 nieces and nephews, great aunt Linda Cockrell and cousin Robert Cockrell.
