Robert “Robbie” Dale Oser, 36, of Marysville and formerly of Westerville, died Thursday, Dec. 28, 2017, at the Ohio State University Ross Heart Hospital.
He enjoyed his family and friends, and will be remembered for his fun-loving sense of humor and appreciation for music. His dancing always led those around him to smile and dance along.
A graduate of Westerville High School, he was an associate of UCO Industries for more than seven years. While in high school, he was a participant in the Special Olympics, where he played basketball and baseball. He later went on to bowl for UCO’s Special Olympic teams.
An avid fisherman, he was fond of St. Mary’s lake in Celina, where he often fished accompanied by his loving grandfather, father and brother. A true outdoorsman, he enjoyed gardening, hiking, camping and spending time with his family. Most of all, he adored time spent grilling and cooking, and was known for his delicious barbecue ribs, smoked chicken and famous macaroni and cheese.
He was born in 1985 to Robert K. Oser of Columbus and Brenda (Tim) Preston of Marysville.
He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Robert L. Oser, Dallard Osbourne and Everett Preston.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his brother, Kyle Oser of Columbus; sisters, Codie (Jason) White of Marysville and Lynsie Oser of Columbus; and grandmothers, Phyllis Preston of Dublin, Carol Oser of Westerville and Gloria (Tom) Stocker of Columbus; and many other cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends, including his loving girlfriend, Tammy Norwood.
