Robert Charles

Welch

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert Charles Welch, aged 67, who departed this life peacefully on November 7, 2026. Born on September 21, 1959, in Mariemont, Ohio, Robert was a cherished husband to his beloved wife, Venus Sue Welch, and a treasured member of a large and loving family.

Robert was the son of the late Charles and Virginia Welch. He leaves behind a legacy of love and resilience, celebrated by his siblings: Kenneth (Diane) Welch, Larry (Danielle) Welch, the late Gary Welch, the late Sharon (Ron) Hammonds, Karon (Roger Shannon) Mott, Kevin (Amy) Welch, Michael Welch, and Tracy (Ron) Hooven. His expansive family includes many nieces, nephews, and friends who will remember him for his kindness and a gentle spirit.

A dedicated technician at Cincinnati Bell, Robert's contributions extended far beyond his professional life. He was an esteemed member of the Milford Masonic Lodge #54 for 35 years, where he served as Past Master three times and held the position of Past Grand Tyler of the Grand Lodge of Ohio. As a proud 33rd degree Scottish Rite Mason and the Past Most Wise Master of the Rose Croix Valley of Cincinnati, he devoted himself to the principles of brotherhood and service. He was also a charter member of the Masonic Widow Sons of Ohio and actively participated in Senior DeMolay and several other Masonic bodies.

Robert was a man of many passions. He achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and held a deep love for the outdoors. Riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle brought him joy, as did spending time boating and camping with family and friends. Known for his unwavering energy, Robert never shied away from hard work, whether in his garden or during projects with loved ones. His humor, laughter, and the warmth with which he treated others created lasting memories for all who were fortunate to know him.

Robert's love for good bourbon and a good laugh made him delightful company, and his humility and kindness exemplified the very best of humanity. He will be dearly missed by all whose lives he touched, leaving a heartwarming void that will be remembered fondly.

A visitation will be held at Evans Funeral Home in Milford on Sunday, November 15th from 2 PM until funeral services that include Eastern Star, Masonic and Scottish Rite Services, begin at 4 PM.

In this time of mourning, let us gather to celebrate Robert's remarkable life, remembering the joy, laughter, and love he shared with us all.
