Funeral services for Robert “Bob” C. Gibbons, a former member of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors, will be held on Friday, January 25, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. at St. William of York Catholic Church, located at 3130 Richmond Hwy, Stafford.
Gibbons, who recently passed away, dedicated more than 34 years to serving the citizens of Stafford County, leaving an indelible legacy of leadership and commitment. He represented the Rock Hill District on the Board of Supervisors from 1991 to 2007, serving multiple terms as Chairman and Vice Chairman.
In addition to his time on the Board, Gibbons served on the Board of Zoning Appeals for four years and the Utilities Commission for two years. His contributions extended to the Planning Commission during two different periods, where he championed key initiatives, including the Transfer of Development Rights Program, the expansion of Transportation Impact Fees, and the creation of a Historic Interpretive zoning category.
“Bob Gibbons exemplified dedication to Stafford County,” said Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Deuntay Diggs in a press release. “His passion for education, libraries, and community advancement inspired those who worked alongside him. On behalf of the Board and the citizens of Stafford County, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and gratitude for his years of service.”
Gibbons was known for his ability to listen and apply community feedback to local government objectives. Even after his time in office, he and his wife Lois remained involved in the community, frequently attending ribbon-cutting ceremonies and special events, reflecting their deep love for Stafford County, the press release states.

As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
