Robert Don Biesecker III

11/20/1994 - 5/8/2026

It is with devastated hearts that we announce the passing of Robert Don Biesecker III.  He passed away peacefully on May 8, 2026.

Born on November 20, 1994, the life Robert lived during his short time here with us was full and wonderful. He was fiercely loyal to his family and friends, and his spirit was embodied with warmth, humor, and love for those that were lucky enough to have been known and loved by him.

He was an avid golfer and fisherman, and he proudly worked for SKYE Heavy Equipment and Rentals. He was also a gifted athlete, and from the time he was a young boy he immersed himself in the love of each sport he played. Robert graduated from Central Davidson High School, then received his degree in Business Administration from UNCG.

Robert loved High Rock Lake. When he was a little boy, he spent his days in his Jon boat, catching baby turtles in the cove. In high school, he rode a wakeboard behind a boat that was filled to the brim with friends that loved him. As an adult, he loved to fish and golf – both with friends and in peaceful solitude.  He also cherished the simple joy of sitting on his deck, taking in the serene view of the lake before him. We invite you to remember Robert every time you look at the lake, and to feel his presence in every beautiful sunrise or sunset, especially if you are lucky enough to witness his favorite type of sunset – one stretching across High Rock Lake.

He is survived by his parents, Bob and Jackie; His sister, Hannah Beasley (Chris); His brother, Will (Erin); His niece and nephews, Eliza, George, and Henry Beasley; His grandmothers, Margaret Biesecker of Lexington and Dee Anne Fortescue of Advance; and an entire loving family who will miss him dearly. He is preceded in death by his two grandfathers, Don Biesecker and Bill Fortescue.

Robert’s favorite bible verse was Isaiah 40:31 –

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Our world is shattered, but Heaven is rejoicing. Robert’s life will be remembered in a quiet family ceremony.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Larry Rose Memorial Golf Tournament with checks being made to Macedonia UMC (PO Box 190, Southmont, NC 27351), Robert Biesecker in memo.

    Bobby, Jackie and family, my heart goes out to you. May God hold and give each of you the strength that you need. I know how much you loved him and how proud you were of him.

    Bob, Jackie, Hannah, Will and families, I was so saddened to hear of Robert’s passing. I was blessed to see him recently when he was visiting with Evan Allred over Easter. I was walking by and heard, “Mrs. Greene?!”. I turned and saw that contagious, wonderful smile; hugs and laughs quickly followed. I feel so lucky to have that memory! Please know that you all are in the hearts and prayers of the Greene family.

    Dear Bob, Jackie, Hannah, Will and all the rest I didn’t know or see as often, Rob was an inspiration. If he wasn’t beating everyone but Andrew Squishy Dilley in basketball, he was trying to keep up with A-aron Mr Perfection Smith’s moves on the wakeboard. Pretty sure Rob coined all our nicknames too, cause he was so funny and happy and always facilitating a good time. My nickname unfortunately was jizzo but I liked it and was homeschooled, so it’s fine. Rob 3bsicker would play 21 and 50 points in the driveway for hours and then switch to racing go carts and dirt bikes in the woods, then maybe some two hand touch or paintball or fishing or all of the above (noodling included), then take an A/C break with pool, air hockey and video games and of course amazing snacks from Mrs. Jackie B, then Bob would roust us out for a boat ride before sunset. The fun and comradery and amount of friends that loved him and were always by his side was insurmountable. He was always a good time, with an even better heart.

    One time I remember Cameron Cambino Baker, Rob, Aaron, Andrew and I, probably more maybe David Monk and Taylor Currier too were rapping in Rob’s room next to his lake turtle oasis. Most of us were very white and not cut out for that, it showed, mainly me, but Rob just got so many people to try so many activities because he loved so many things and so many people. I couldn’t feel luckier than to have spent so many years on High Rock Lake with him and Will. If I get a little painted lake Turtle one day, I’m definitely naming it Rob. Love you brother, love you all.

    To the family, I send my sincere condolences. Bob, Jackie, Hannah and Will I will be praying for you all in these hard times. I’ll never forget the days of us playing driveway basketball, playing pool in the basement and video games all day. Taking the boat or the jet skis out to tube and wakeboard. I made some of the best memories I had with this family so I will forever thank you for treating me like family. Robert was such a great friend to me and many many others. Such a kind and genuine person. I remember always asking Robert to use a pair of shoes to play basketball in because he always had the coolest basketball shoes. And it would get so annoying playing with I’m sometimes because he could shoot so good you would almost never get the ball. I could type about so many more things but just thinking about the memories is hard already and I can only imagine what that means for you all. Robert will be missed and thought of by so many people and that just goes to show how many people he had an impact on. I love you guys and will be praying for you.

    Robert, I’m gonna miss you man! Love you brother, Spartans for life 🖤❤️🖤❤️

    Only the “Good Die Young” and why? In researching, there are multiple reasons and my conclusion is as follows: In simplicity, the good die young because they have had few years to sin, therefore our Lord calls them early to do his works in heaven! Robert’s psalm below is utopic!

    Isaiah 40:31 …. but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
    They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

    My condolences to those who loved him and as a family member I pray you know he will always be with us in spirit!!

    Yours in Christ, Garland Powell

    I enjoyed being Robert’s chauffeur when we carpooled to soccer practice. I laughed while listening to his conversations with Daniel and Kyle. It was also fun being his algebra teacher. Robert brought so much joy wherever he went. I always appreciated his ability to recognize the humor around him, and how he could laugh at himself as well . Thank you for sharing your son as a student and an athlete. Traci and I will continue to keep you all in our prayers.

    Robert,
    Cameran couldn’t have said it better. I still tell stories to this day hanging out with you. Going to ball games, hanging out on the lake, and just being dumb fun kids. The best memories of my life come from those days. You have always been a great friend since elementary school no matter how much time had passed, non judgemental, and a genuine guy. I will miss you brother.

    Some people leave such a lasting impact simply through the way they treat others, and Robert was clearly one of those people. It’s heartbreaking to hear of the passing of a fellow classmate.
    Reading everyone’s memories and stories over the past few days has made it so evident how deeply loved, respected, and important he was to so many. He was truly one of the good ones, and even years later, I still remember him as such a genuinely kind person.
    My heart breaks for his family and all who loved him most. He will be remembered always. 🤍 Sending prayers

    My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this heartbreaking time. There are no perfect words for a loss like this, but I will always remember Robert as the smart, athletic, and charming fourth grader at Southwood who brought so much joy to those around him.
    Thanks to Robert and that class, I still smile every time I see red socks and think back on one of my favorite years as a teacher. Although his time here was far too short, Robert left a lasting footprint on this world, and I feel truly grateful to have known such a wonderful young man. He will always be remembered with love.

    Robert was one of a kind. He touched a lot of lives and will be missed by everyone that was fortunate enough to cross paths with him. I don’t know of a person that Robert met that would’ve considered him a stranger. He was loved by all.

    Dear Jackie, Bob, Hannah, Will and the rest of the family. I am truly sorry for your loss. Rob was such a blessing to all of us and he will be missed. My son, Beckett, will get to learn plenty of stories about Rob when he’s old enough to understand. I will never forget all the memories we made together growing up and I hope Beckett gets to experience a friendship like the one we shared.

    Rob is and always will be one of my best friends. He was truly like a brother to me. We would always be competing against each other or against others as a team whether that was in basketball, soccer, pool, tube wars behind the boat, racing a lap in the pool, or playing halo in the basement (rockets or swords only). I always loved how we brought out that banter when we competed against each other. It was friendly yet challenging because we both hated to lose so much that the games would get intense. I still remember many times of 1 on 1, 50 pts, 21, or knock out in the driveway. Or the time when Rob landed that insane double barrel roll airborne over the wake of Marvin the Moomba (complete mayhem)!!! The man was fearless with the water sports. He was by far, the best goalie to come out of Central Davidson HS (sorry not sorry to any other CDHS keepers). He kept us in so many games with his acrobatics in front of net. I strongly remember the game against Asheboro at their place while we were up 2-1 he had double digit saves to keep us ahead to win the game. It’s been fun seeing Rob get into the game of golf over the years since college when we would go play Gillespie (the budget friendly course near UNCG). He was playing better than I am right now. I’m sure he’s watching each round now wondering when I’ll finally break through to improving my game to the next level. I’ll try my best to make you proud Rob, as a father, husband and friendly competitor.

    Love you brother,
    Dilley
