Dear Pitts Family,  We were so blessed to have Mr Pitts in our lives.  He was always our go to guy for large and small  trucking jobs here at the farm. What a lovey job he did on building and maintaining our arena. It was so great in these later years to run in to you both out and about town. Enjoyed catching up with him and his friends on early bird count day.  So glad he was in our lives. With gratitude, Sunny Lane Farm

Deepest sympathy to the Pitts family.  Will truly miss Robert.   We always gathered at the McDonald's in Purcellville, laughing and talking together with all the fellows.  Rest in peace my friend.  Richard J Lane

So sorry Kay for your loss of your husband..Know we all love you, if there's anything we can do give us a holler.
Your dedicated customer and bus driver Ann Williamson

Robert Kerry Pitts was, is, and always will be the love of my life.  When we met, he lured me in with his muscles, won me over with his sense of humor, and had me for life with his unconditional love.  He would make me mad and then make me laugh.  Who could stay mad at that?  Once he made me laugh, it was all over.  When I look at some of those photos, he still makes me weak in the knees.  His last words to me were “You’re so good to me, I love you”.  That was the most wonderful gift to me, and I will never forget.  We were married for close to 35 years.  I think it was because we saved the best of ourselves for each other.  I love you Sweetheart, and I always will.  

Your devoted wife,
Angela Kay Pitts

Kay I am so sorry for this unimaginable loss. Kerry was a beautiful human being.  

Sitting around telling stories about him made me laugh and cry but most importantly, they made me realize how fortunate I am to call him my friend. I've lit a candle and will hold space for you. Much Love

Kerry you will be greatly missed. I have so many fond memories. You were always shy but not with me. I was called Little girl by you. That equates to me being your little sister. I remember hanging with you and Kenny at your house while you guys lifted weights. Gosh that loud music you guys lifted too. I remember hanging out at the gas station during business hours and after hours. Lol I guess we couldn’t get enough of that place. I remember going to the shore house your dad owned. That was an adventure trying to stay away from jelly fish. I remember you and Kenny taking turns pulling me around in the inflatable boat. I also remember you living with the guys in the townhouse. Boy was that a mistake. Lol.  Well my good friend until I see you again. Oh tell mom and dad Hi for me. But don’t get caught by mom calling her the bread lady or dad big haus. Lots of love my friend. My condolences go out to your family. He was one in a million. 

Don't be fooled...the comfy camper was approx 10' away.

The three amigos. A little less hair, a little more fluff, but still a minor level threat to quiet country living.

I knew Kerry many years ago when 'our gang' hung out at the station. He was a quiet, friendly soul. We reconnected via a group chat, and spoke of a reunion cookout... Sadly,  he won't get to do that on this side of the door. I will always remember that he told me l gave great hugs . Reckon l'll see you on the Otherside. God speed.

I can't say why, but this is one of my fav pix of you. I think it nails you as everyone knew you then, and Mike being there with you is bonus. Sunny, happy days.

Wish we didn't keep forgetting to take that third photo together as sexy old men. I suppose these will have to suffice. I think the hand on the shoulder at your wedding was a brilliant last minute touch, if I do say so. Being your best man was an honor, thanks again for choosing me to be a part of that great day, one of my all-time favorite days/nights. Love was in the air.

(PART 2) But Kay. For as well as I knew you, who’da thought you were saving your best, most admirable, quality for her. Undoubtedly, she has her own spin on it, but your ability to make Big Love look so easy, so uncomplicated, was awe-inspiring. It was to me anyway. Of course, it necessitated you ditching my ass to be with her, but that was a no-brainer, and clearly the best decision of your life, so no hard feelings. My loveline advice was probably no better than Iago’s (Shakespeare people, look it up), so kudo’s for dodging that bullet too. Besides, you and Kay were the real deal. Everyone knew it. We all cleared our June calendars once we saw you together (sneaky boy, doing it in April).
     Okay, okay, I know, you hate it when I blather on, but that was one of our things, wasn’t it? I talked and talked and you said, ‘Shut up, I like this song’. Or I whined or swooned about some girl and you said, ‘When are we stopping to eat?’ And I worried about the world and you’d wisely say, ‘We need to find a spot to pee.’ I reckon I should’ve listened to you more. Actually, I think I did, probably more than you know. I’ve said to everyone but the mailman that you were often my moral compass when my twenty-something blood was up. But even when you weren’t going all Confucius, you exuded a calm happiness that was an absolute joy to be around as we patrolled Fairfax, Vienna, Clifton and everywhere in between. You know, scratch that, you were the best. Every one of those happy miles would be less so if you hadn’t been along for the ride.
     So, get some rest Kerry, as we said approximately 1.2 million times, I’ll catch up with you later. Don’t worry about Kay, we have a pact to look out for one another, though once she discovers what you endured for years she may seek legal counsel, I dunno, I’ll worry about that later, at the moment I have photos to post of our aforementioned wacky shenanigans. Just wish they didn’t hurt so much now.


     Well, as usual, I’m too lazy to look it up but I’m pretty sure there’s a statute of limitations on referring to someone in the present tense after they pass so I’m just going to speak to you like this. I’m not ready for that past-tense thing. I guess you know you’ve left behind a pretty big hole in this world, with a bunch of teary, snotty people, me included, so thanks for that.
     When I sat down to write this, I figured I’d roll out a laundry list of great memories and wacky shenanigans, but when I started jotting them down it became clear pretty quickly that doing so would probably crash this site. So, plan B. How about a Greatest Hits list? Anyone that knew you, especially back in the day, will certainly remember your great smile, immense kindness, ridiculously stupid jokes (sorry, they really were, we just laughed so as not to hurt your feelings), fantastic taste in music, your propensity to carry the equivalent of a small snack machine in your jacket pockets (Doritos, really?), questionable driving skills on winding country roads in Clifton (looking at you Kenny Mallow), equally questionable beach fashion (those shorts were really snug), your uncanny ability to make even the grumpiest sob concede what a genuinely good human being you are. Of course, as your designated shadow I knew all those things, plus loads more, but I promised Kay I’d keep this PG so we’ll talk later. (SEE PART 2)


I have known Kerry sense I was a kid growing up in Fairfax . He was always a good person and always made you laugh . He will diffidently be missed . Prayers to all of his family and friends .  

I remember our days as little kids on our trip to Canada.  We used to go explore the farm up in Canada I even remember the times we get covered with mud from the pond.

I remember being out on the boat on the bay we would all dive off the top into the bay
I remember when we drove the Jeep cycles around the field across from the house all the neighbor drove the bikes around in circles I remember when you got your first motorcycle 

I remember when we both got our first bikes from dad he had us go on a treasure hunt to look for them he put clues all around 

I remember the time our dad put our allowance out in the snow and dared us to go get it we had so many fun times when we were kids 
I remember when you used to go deer hunting in the old camper 

It’s hurts so much to say goodbye I know I will see you again in heaven you are up there with mom and dad now and will see Muriel Roberta church our sister too that passed 
away as a baby 

Rest in peace 

Love your sister 

Rest in peace my dear brother see you
