Robert Evan Horsey, 73, of Columbia, NJ, passed away peacefully at his home on July 2, 2025.
Born on November 15, 1951, in Melrose, MA. Robert was the beloved son of the late Eugene and Emmerett (Fordham) Horsey. A man of strong work ethic and deep compassion, Robert dedicated much of his life to serving others—both professionally and in his community. He worked for many years as a truck driver for Horseless Carriage in Paterson, NJ, and volunteered his time and skills as a certified EMT. He had a passion for singing.
Robert had a lifelong passion for building and working with his hands. Whether through woodworking projects or tinkering with machinery, he found joy in creating and restoring. He was also a devoted history enthusiast, a proud collector of many things, and a motorcycle lover.
Faith played an important role in Robert’s life. He was a member of the Lutheran Brethren Church of Mount Bethel, where he found fellowship and spiritual grounding.
Robert is survived by his brother William Horsey and sister-in-law Lindsey; and sister-in-law Karen (David). He was predeceased by his sister, Dr. Joan Parks, and his brother, David Horsey.
A memorial visitation will be held on Friday August 1, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, with a service to follow at 11:00 AM at the Lutheran Brethren Church of Mount Bethel, Mount Bethel, PA.
Robert will be remembered for his generosity, curiosity, and the enduring care he showed to family, friends, and community alike.
