Robert Eugene Mroczek Jr.

Robert Eugene Mroczek II passed away on September 13, 2023 in Warrenton, Virginia after a brief illness. He was the son of the late Robert and Marie Mroczek, and was born in Columbia, South Carolina on June 18, 1958. Mr. Mroczek grew up on various military bases and in various cities along the eastern seaboard and near Frankfurt, Germany during his father’s career in the Army. After his father retired from the service, the family moved from Arlington, Virginia and settled in Culpeper in 1971. Mr. Mroczek graduated from Culpeper County High School in 1976 and joined the Navy where he was trained as an aircraft electrician and then stationed in Rota, Spain. After leaving the service, he utilized his training and invested his talents in long careers with IBM and Lockheed Martin before retiring as a coordinator of facilities management in 2020. He met the love of his life Debbie Oberfeldt, during his years with Lockheed Martin and they were married in 1990. Mr. Mroczek was a follower of Jesus Christ, and a faithful member of Bethel United Methodist Church. Bob, as he was known to family and friends, often volunteered to serve this active congregation in various projects and during events. He was not known as one who looked forward to planning meetings, but rather as one who wanted to get straight to the work or task at hand. He enjoyed sharing his talents and giving back to the local community working on the Mom Project to fix homes for community members. Bob’s voice was instantly recognizable to his friends and family on any jobsite or in a crowd, he laughed well, and the high quality of his work was known and appreciated by all. All his life, Robert enjoyed hiking and fishing in the great outdoors and simply taking in the beauty of God’s creation. He was an accomplished fly fisherman and enjoyed epic fishing trips with friends throughout the US and Canada including trips to the Arctic Circle. Robert now joins that ancient band of fishermen from Galilee and by His grace alone has entered into the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Robert is survived by his wife, Debbie, his sister Christine Harrer of Culpeper, and his brother Dirk Mroczek of Southport, North Carolina. Also left behind to celebrate his life and memory are his three nieces and a host of friends.
