Obituary for ROBERT ESTEP CHEW
Robert Estep Chew was born in Prince Frederick, Maryland on March 24, 1951 to the late Louis H. Chew and Ollie Chew (Mutter). Affectionately, he was known as 'Estep”. Estep slipped away into eternal rest peacefully on November 14, 2012. Estep attended the Maryland Public Schools. He was a dedicated worker, employed by Ceilings and Petitions for over 20 years. Estep loved his Harley Davidson Motorcycles, Corvette and all of his trucks and cars. He was a member of the D.C. Iron Motorcycle Club and Harley Riders. The life of the party, Estep had to be CLEAN everywhere he went. He played drums and was also a singer in various bands. Estep didn't mind being the first on the dance floor; he loved to dance. Estep enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved spending time with his family; his jokes and laughs kept family and friends in stitches. And if you knew anything about Estep, you knew he loved to eat. Estep would willingly go out his way to help anyone he could, even though he would fuss (the entire time) while fixing your car, 'Don't let your car get like this anymore!' His weekly TV show favorites were Family Feud and Judge Judy. Estep leaves to cherish his memory two sons: Derrick (mother Thelma), Troy (Latosha, mother Joyce); three daughters: Tameka (Tyrone), Marquita (mother Connie), and Che'le (mother Rochina); 12 grandchildren: Dasia, Nevaeh, Kendyl, Kendra, Destiny, Dynasty, Ian, Demarco, Shaamik, Cynia, Mikhalia, Traevan, and Aden Estep on the way; two brothers: Benjamin Franklin and Donald David, Sr., and four sisters: Mildred Harris (William), Mary Mackall, Ellamae Johnson (Allen), and Barbara Jean Gross (Robert). Robert was preceded in death by his father, Louis Chew; his mother, Ollie Chew; brothers, Louis Jr., Alonzo, Oscar James and sisters, Louise, Judy and Hazel. He also leaves to cherish his memories a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends that he loved very much. His best friends Mike Lattimore; Ron Exum, Gilmore Booth and Melvin Jones as well as his adoptive parents, the Stephensons are among the many that will miss him.
