Robert L. Burgman, Jr., age 62, of White Oak, died March 3, 2025, at UPMC Shadyside Hospital. Born January 21, 1963, in McKeesport, he was the son of the late Robert Sr. and Nancy (Race) Burgman and was the husband of Tina (Steele) Burgman.  Robert met his soulmate, Tina, while still in high school. Their love story, shaped by time and distance, took a turn when they reconnected years later and ultimately married. Robert's devotion to his family was unwavering, and he cherished every moment spent with his wife, son, and grandson.  A proud veteran, Robert proudly served in the Air Force, a testament to his commitment to service and country. He carried the values of discipline and perseverance, which he imparted to his family and the many young athletes he coached. Robert dedicated countless hours to mentoring girls' softball teams at Woodland Hills, Elizabeth Forward, and McKeesport Area High Schools, where he instilled not only the fundamentals of the game but also lessons of teamwork and resilience.  Robert's love for the great outdoors was evident in his passion for hunting at Linn Run State Park, a tradition he joyfully passed down to his son and grandson. Fishing, too, was a cherished pastime, moments spent by the water reflecting his deep appreciation for nature and time spent with loved ones.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son, Larry Siler; grandson, Jayden Siler; sisters, Kathy, Diane, Donna, and Robin. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Arrangements were entrusted to Jaycox-Jaworski Funeral Home & Crematory. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.jaycox-jaworskifh.com.
