ROBERT "ROB" FALSO, III

FALSO III, ROBERT “ROB” 39, of Manchester, Ct., and formerly of Springfield, MA, passed away at Rhode Island Hospital with loving family by his side, on Friday, August 8, 2025. Born in Providence, he was a beloved son of Michele A. (Dussault) Simpson and her husband Scott of Exeter and Robert Falso Jr. and his wife Kate of Florida.

He was the father of Javanni Leander of Woonsocket and Kaydence Holden of Cranston. He was the brother of Kimberly M. Falso of North Providence, Zachary T. Simpson and Hunter T. Simpson, both of Boca Raton, Florida. Rob is also survived by several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Robert was the kind of man you never forgot—because once you met him, he made sure you felt seen, valued, and probably laughed until your sides hurt. He had the biggest heart, even if he tried to hide it behind a tough-guy act. Truth was, he was a softy- he’d give you the shirt off his back, even if it was the only one he had.

He was fiercely loyal, funny, and had this special kind of Falso humor—you’d hear him say something wild, pause in disbelief, and then he’d break into that signature giggle that let you know he was messing with you. That laugh? It was contagious.

Robert loved his family with every ounce of who he was. He was their biggest supporter, everyone’s number one fan. He had this electric energy that lifted every room he walked into—a true people person and a charmer, the life of the party who made everyone feel like they belonged. He was a guy’s guy, sure—but the ladies adored him too.

He took pride in his style, always looking sharp, always carrying himself with effortless confidence. His love of music—especially Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald—was part of what made him timeless, with an old-school cool that never faded.

Robert loved cooking, especially with or for others. He was the best big brother and he really was a brother to many. He embodied what it meant to put others first, never asking for anything in return. He made life lighter, warmer, brighter—and now the world feels dimmer without him.  His spark will live on in the countless lives he touched.

Robert wasn’t just loved. He was love in motion. Electric. Irreplaceable. Forever missed.

Rob was employed as a professional Disc Jockey and a VIP Manager at the former Mardi Gras Club in Springfield, MA. He provided music and laughter to many. Most recently, Rob was a package delivery driver for the United Parcel Service in East Hartford, CT. He was a voice and creator of the Street Corner Soapbox podcast.

Services will be private. A Celebration of Robert’s life will be on a day and date to be announced.
