Robert (Rob) Benedict Roettig, 51,of South Yarmouth, died on Tuesday, June 30 of complications from heart surgery. He was born on July 13,1968 to Curtis and Judith Roettig of Nyack NY. He graduated from Evanston Township High School in Evanston Ill,  attended Mankato State University in MN, and received a degree from the School of Culinary Arts in Chicago, Ill.  He is survived by; his beloved children, Samuel Roettig, Caroline Roettig and Andrew Roettig, his mother, Judith Roettig, his brother, Michael Roettig, niece, Nora Kate Roettig, nephew, Jack Roettig,  and many aunts, uncles and cousins across the country. He was predeceased by his father, Curtis Roettig on  November 14, 2019 and his uncle, James F. Kimpel on February 22, 2020.

Simply put by a former employer of twelve years," he was a very good man, a very good person and a very good Dad with strong and honest values”.  He had a successful 23-year career in the food and beverage industry. His devotion to his children, family, friends, his work, and Boston sports' teams were first and foremost in his life. He was a coach and President for two years of the Dennis Yarmouth Youth Baseball League. He actively supported other youth sports played by his children including baseball, hockey, soccer, and lacrosse.

A private service is being held for his Cape Cod family on July 13, his birthday. A celebration of his  and his father’s life is being planned for later this year. Should you wish to donate in his memory, please consider the Dennis Yarmouth Youth Leagues of baseball, hockey, or soccer.

Rob and I became good friends in college and were roommates for two years. He was a great friend and I have many great memories of the great times we experienced. While he was a great friend it’s apparent that he became a better father.

Rob was a kind, compassionate person whose love for his family was so admirable. I am very saddened to hear of his passing. Rest in peace my friend. Condolences to his family and friends.
