Robert Anthony Motley was born on June 28, 1965 in Indianapolis, Indiana to Laura Motley and
James Motley.
He attended Howe high school in Indianapolis, Indiana. He later worked seasonally at the Indiana
State Fairgrounds throughout the years.
Robert (aka Rabbit) loved interacting with people, and made friends very easily. He was quite the
jokester, and it didn’t matter who you were, he would find something to say about you, that would
have you laughing non-stop. He loved all genres of all types of music, and man did he have this
too cool charisma way about him! You might not like him sometimes, but you loved him all the
time!
Rabbit loved being around his family. He had a special relationship with each of his nine brothers
and sisters. For example, he called his sister Denita (Nudy) his twin and always called her to pick
him up. He was party buddies with his brother Tunce (Pete), you never saw one without the other.
Each of his brothers and sisters had a special place in his heart and no matter how much time went
in between them, when they got together, you could see the love of brothers and sisters come
together. Yes like any other family, they would disagree, but they were the Motley crew!
Rabbit spent 38 years with Tammy Kaufman, his high-school sweetheart, who is not only the
mother of his children, but a woman who stuck by his side until the very end. They have two
children together: a daughter; Naomi Rene Motley and a son; Robert (G-money) Motley Jr. He
also loved his three grandchildren, especially his heart (Amiah).
Robert departed this life on Friday, March 4, 2022 at 56 years old. He is preceded in death by his
father; James Motley and his mother; Laura Motley-Woods.
Robert leaves to cherish his daughter; Naomi; his son Robert Jr and his three grandchildren. He
also leaves his brothers and sisters: Tunce Motley (aka Pete), Janice (aka Crickett) Withers
(Gregory), Pearl Paicely (Kerry), James (aka Jimboy) Motley (Cheryl), Shirley Motley, Denita
Motley (aka Nudy), Charles Motley, Rochelle Warren (Miles), John Woods Jr. and a host of nieces
and nephews who he loved dearly.
Rabbit, you will truly be missed. You were one of a kind and we will remember the fun times and
can’t wait to see you again.
Humbly submitted………… The family
