Silas Marion Robertson, III
Had An Extraordinary Love And Zest For People And Life
Silas Marion Robertson, III (Rob, Robby, Uncle Rob) passed away unexpectedly on October 31, 2023.
He was the son of the late Silas Marion Robertson, Jr., and Pamelia Harwell Robertson. He was born and raised in Signal Mountain, Tn., where he experienced a wonderful childhood.
He graduated from the University of Tennessee and spent his entire career with DuPont Industries (Invista/Koch). Most of those years were spent in Athens, Ga., where he made many special, life-long friends. For years, he hosted legendary football tailgates at Café Rob for family and friends. He always pulled for the Georgia Bulldogs unless they were playing his beloved Tennessee Vols. Rob truly was one of a kind, with an extraordinary love and zest for people and life. He loved well and was well-loved.
Left to treasure his memory are his siblings, Pam (Dennis) Moses, Del (Tommy) Francescon, and Ken (Annie) Robertson. He took great joy in spoiling his nieces and nephews, as well as his great nieces and nephews: Lara and Scott Whitaker (Cade), Brandon Moses, Matt and Laurel Moses (Mattie Bea, Henry, Eleanor and Fletcher), Josh and Andrea Moses (Caleb and Maggie), Justin and Emily Moses (Asher and Levi), Zach and Shelley Moses (Rosie & William), T. W. and Laurel Francescon (Thomas, Noah and Bella), Adam Francescon, and Sarah Downs (Carter).
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, Nov. 12, at 2:30 p.m. in the Chapel at Bernstein Funeral Home, 3195 Atlanta Highway, Athens, Ga. 30606. Visitation and reception immediately following.

I am so sad to hear about Rob's passing. Through the years it was fun to keep up on Facebook.Football season was so much fun for him with his tailgate parties. Bill and I told him that we would try to make a UT- GA game down there. Now Bill and Rob along with a number of our classmates will have a Heavenly Party. Rob, rest in peace and one day we will all gather again.

So sad to hear of rob's sudden passing. We grew up together on signal mtn. We attended the same church, schools, and our fathers helped to start the lions club here on the mountain. Rob was always quite a prankster and enjoyed life. I still occasionally see some of his family members around town. I know he will be missed by all who knew him. Hopefully, he will not spend too much time in the "time out" corner in heaven. Rest in peace my brother.
