Robert "Bob" J. Petrovia Jr., 66, passed away peacefully at home on June 25, 2025, in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, surrounded by the love of his family.

Bob was the devoted husband of Michelle (Miele) Petrovia and proud father to Arianna, Aprille, and Brandon. He was a beloved brother to Debra Dimico (Donald), Tina Mousley, Mark Petrovia (Deborah), Tracey Olszewski (Douglas), and Heather Kimble, and the cherished son of the late Robert and Jacqueline Petrovia.

A U.S. Air Force veteran, Bob served his country with pride for five years. After his service, he went on to build and run his own successful family business, RJ Automotive, for 31 years.

Bob had a love for life that was infectious. Whether he was kayaking, zip lining, snorkeling, or swimming with dolphins, he was always seeking out new experiences and adventures. He especially cherished beach trips to Melbourne, Florida, watching the sunset with his family.

He was a man of many passions—from blasting his favorite rock music (with a little jazz on Sunday mornings), to reading thrillers and watching horror movies with his daughter. He was a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan and was thrilled to see them win the Super Bowl this year.

Bob had a quick wit, a generous heart, and a knack for making everyone laugh. He was known for his practical jokes, big personality, and unwavering dedication to those he loved. He was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and took great pride in doing things the right way.

Holidays with family were among his favorite times, and he especially looked forward to participating in the annual Toys for Tots event—a tradition he held close to his heart.

Bob's legacy of laughter, loyalty, and love will be carried on by those who knew and adored him.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Bob's memory to Toys for Tots .
