Robert John (Butch) Stauffer, passed away at home in Melbourne, Florida on March 23, 2026. He was surrounded by his son, Bobby, and his daughter, Niki, as he had wished.
Preceded in death by his parents, John David Stauffer and Veronica Gach, his beloved wife Eileen, and his brothers Billy and Buddy Stauffer. He is survived by his son Bobby Stauffer (Akemi) Murrysville, PA; daughter Nicole Stauffer, St. Cloud, FL; Granddaughters Fiona, Nadia Eileen, and Madeleine Lane (Maddie Pickles); sister Susan (Klemann) St. Petersburg; numerous nieces and nephews.
Butch grew up in the small town of Barnesboro, Pennsylvania- the same place where he and Eileen raised their two children. He was a coal miner for 30 years at Greenwich Colleries before he retired, and he and his wife moved to Melbourne. Butch loved to fish; his fondest places to go were the Florida Keys and the Kenai River in Alaska.

He may have been a man of few words, but his sincerity was a meaningful part of who he was. I can see that some of his good qualities live on his son, Bobby and daughter, Niki. My deepest condolences to all of you.

Oh boy I just don't know where to begin see Butchy, Bud and Billy we're more brothers to me than cousins we all grew up in a close knit family back then sharing what we had, which was mostly laughter. He was always the elder always the one that you could sit down and talk to that had a level head
And even a bigger heart but one that shared laughter on another level
We lost touch for quite a time..lives get busy but i have never stopped thinking about you and the kiddos..rest easy my brother...

Although my time with uncle Butch was short, my time with him was educational, and was one of the best ball busters that made me laugh. But anyone in the family of Stauffer knows, he cared about everyone. He didn't necessarily show it, or spoke of it, but the ones he truly held dear in his life knows this. I am filled with sorrow for all my family back home, and you are in my prayers. Love you Uncle Butch.
