Robert Chauncey Hamilton

Robert Chauncey Hamilton, age 66, passed away peacefully on March 20th, 2026, at his home in Vancouver, WA. He was born on April 4th, 1959, in Redwood City, CA, to Pauline and Howard Hamilton. In 1992, Robert moved to Vancouver, where he built a career in the restaurant/sales industry and raised a family that he cared for and loved throughout his life. Robert began his early career as a Busboy for Sizzler in California, quickly working his way up the industry chain. He eventually landed high-level positions as a Market Training Manager for KFC in 1993 and Director of Operations for Pacific Bells in 2006. Robert would then go on to become an accomplished Sales Consultant at McCords Toyota in 2015, where he spent the last nine years of his career before happily retiring. Robert was also an active and valued member of the Vancouver community, where he touched the lives of many. He was well-known for his ability to foster special workplace relationships, his involvement in church throughout all stages of his adult life, and his participation in local athletics. Not only did Robert find a personal community in training and adult sports leagues, but many, including his children, will especially remember his profound commitment to coaching and volunteering for youth sports organizations such as Cascade Little League, where he had a significant impact early on in his time in Vancouver. Our hearts are with all those in these communities whom Robert positively impacted. Perhaps more important than his long career and his community involvement is the family he raised in Vancouver. Father to five children, all of whom have gone on to find success and have begun creating families of their own, Robert’s greatest legacy is the extensive family he took part in creating. His children and grandchildren rejoice in remembering the time they had with their loving father and grandfather. In his heart, a close second to his family and friends was his love for Oakland and the sports team possessed by the Bay Area where he was raised. Robert was the epitome of an Oakland sports fan through his unwavering support for the Raiders and Athletics, even during these franchises’ lowest moments. This love and loyalty for Oakland created a lasting bond with and between his children, who will undoubtedly instill this continued support for those teams in their own children. May the memory of the “Phantom of Oakland” forever live on through the subsequent generations to follow Robert Hamilton. He is survived by his loving children: Rebecca Hamilton, Kyle Hamilton, Austin Hamilton, Dylan Hamilton, and Jett Hamilton; as well as many nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. At the family’s request, there will be no funeral service at this time.
