Robert Charles “Bob” Schwartz, Jr., 52

July 10, 2025

Grateful Believer. Devoted Husband. Loving Father. Faithful Friend.

Robert (Bob) Charles Schwartz, Jr., of East Petersburg, Pennsylvania, passed away unexpectedly on July 10, 2025. He was 52 years old.
Bob was born on August 12 in Flemington, New Jersey. He graduated from Belvidere High School in 1990. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert C. Schwartz, Sr.; his mother, Linda Zairo Schwartz Booth; and his stepfather, David Booth, Sr.

A grateful believer in Jesus Christ, Bob lived with passion, purpose, and a deep desire to point others to the hope he found in his Savior. He was a bold entrepreneur and spent the last 22 years as the publisher of Home Business Advertiser Magazine—a platform he used not only to help others build businesses but to share his faith and encourage others in their walk with Christ.

Bob was the proud and devoted father of three beautiful daughters: Hannah (14), Rebecca (13), and Ella (10). He adored his girls and set a powerful example of love, faith, and joy—raising the bar for the kind of men they’ll one day seek.

Though Bob and his wife, Jennifer, were married for just under five years, they packed a lifetime of love and adventure into those few short years. Their tremendous love was evident to anyone who saw them. From long talks to spontaneous road trips to peaceful walks around Lake Grubb, they cherished each moment together.

Bob was a member of Reality Church (Hempfield campus), an instructor at Green Meadow Farm, and a man who truly loved being in nature. Whether mentoring others, walking the trails, or praying with a friend, he gave freely of himself and lived generously.

In addition to his wife and their three daughters, Bob is survived by his sister, Jaeme Schwartz-Bogrette; his niece, Elizabethe Bogrette; his stepbrother, Coby Booth; and two stepsisters, Heather Harris and Chellee Booth.

True to his giving spirit, Bob chose to be an organ and tissue donor—ensuring that even in death, his life would continue to bless others.

A Celebration of Bob’s Life will be held on Saturday, August 9th at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543. There will be a time of gathering from 1:00 to 2:00 PM, with services beginning at 2:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, family friends have established a GoFundMe page to help cover funeral expenses and support Jennifer and the girls in the days ahead.

Bob’s life was a light. His faith was contagious. And his impact will echo for generations.
