In Loving Memory

"You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold, that is how important you are!" Robby selected that quote from The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
Robby had many passions; his loving family, his many friends, hunting, fishing, snowboarding, golf, baseball, inventions and archictectual drafting. He was a creative, compassionate and spiritual individual. When he wasn't with family and friends, he loved to spend time alone with nature and the stars. He touched many lives and will be forever missed by his parents, brother, sister, cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents and friends. He knew how much we wanted to help him but he did not want to burden anyone with his problems. And so, in his pain and suffering, he died alone.
Our hearts are broken now. That is how important he was and always will be to us. God blessed us with you, Robby. We will always love you.

Robby, you are not forgotten. Today would be your 36th birthday. You have been in heaven for 11 years now. We see your friends growing older and we feel the void that remains in our lives where you should be. You were and will always be loved, but there is still a sadness deep in our hearts. Forever, your Mom and Dad. |
For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. -John 3:16
Robby, although you left this world, we know we will be together again in God's Glorious Kingdom.
Sweet Dreams, we love you. -Mom and Dad |
Ten years today our lives were changed forever. So hard to believe. We miss you every day. Love you, Aunt Mitzie |

Thinking of you today as always. Happy Birthday Robby. Love you! Uncle Dean & Aunt Mitzie |
Nine yeas have passed since you went to be with the Lord. I know you are in an amazing place - so beautiful and peaceful. That makes me feel better, but you are missed so much. You are always in my thoughts and in my prayers. Love Aunt Mitzie |
"When we have done all the work we were sent to do, we are allowed to shed our bodies, which imprisons our soul like a cocoon encloses the butterfly and when the time is right we can let go of it. Then we will be free of pain, free of fears and free of worries - free as a beautiful butterfly returning home to God..."
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross |
Just stopping by to let you know you are thought of and missed. It has been 6 years since I have been in your family's lives and I feel truly special to be apart of your family each and every day. Your brother completes me and I wish you were here to see just how much he is loved. He's loved because he is perfect and has great men to look up to. Including you. You have had such an impact on the man that he has grown into and I thank you for that. From the bottom of my heart. I only wish I could have met you at least once, I believe that you answer in your own way when I ask you to guide your brother or to send me the strength to give him all he deserves. I feel you as you watch over all of us, everyday. You would be so proud of Jon and I hope of me too. I am far from perfect, but I think you know that no one could ever love your brother as much as I do. I know out of anyone on this earth, he relies on your support & guidance after all of these years. You have and always will be his #1 shoulder to lean on. He doesn't even need to say it...
I would love the chance to see your face and know the sound of your voice... Even for a second. I believe you know just how much you are missed by all who were blessed to have you in their lives... to call you a brother... son... cousin... Uncle... Brother-in-law... Even the ones who have yet to meet you. I dream of the day, Rob. I pray you hear the advice I ask from you and I feel deep down you have and the guidance has come from you. I can feel it. I believe it. Love to you, Robby. Until I get the chance... |
Just thinking of you, looking at your mountain and blowing you a kiss, as I do on many ordinary days. Still missing your presence in our earthly world. Every day. XOXO |
Today is your 7th birthday in heaven. So much has changed in our family since you left us. For 7 years, we have missed you, and we wait patiently until we will meet again in Paradise.
-All my love, Mom |
Happy Birthday Robby! Wish you were here with us, we are so sad that we cannot spend your day with you. You are always in our heart ~ miss you so much. Love you ~ Aunt Mitzie & Uncle Dean |
We remember you here most often on birthdays and anniversaries, Robby, but you are remembered by all of us every day of the year. We have never stopped wishing we could have you back. But all the 'if onlys' in the world cannot change God's plan.
You were always loved.
You will always be loved. |
Happy 31st Birthday Robby, Celebrating your day with wonderful memories of you. Love always. Aunt Mitzie |
You are in our thoughts today, and everyday Robbie. I would give anything to have had the chance to meet you and for you to have met our children. They remind me so much of Jon, and I know you would be so proud of the man he has become. I think of you often and I have a feeling that you know that :) You are forever missed, but never far from our hearts. Until we meet one day... Happy Birthday, love <3 |
Robby, Thinking of you today as everyday, however, today is a little harder. It is a tough day for all of us. It was the worst day of our lives. I miss you Robby. I wish you were here. I feel good knowing that you are in heaven and in His arms. Love, Aunt Mitzie |
Six long years ago we had the worst day of our lives. Time begins to ease the pain, but the ache and that emptiness will remain forever. We will always remember you Robby, and we hold on tight to our memories of your happy days as there were many. |
"when I get where I'm going, they'll be only happy tears. I will shed the sins and struggles I have carried all these years. And I'll leave my heart wide open, I will love and have no fear. Yeah, when I get where I'm goin', don't cry for me down here."
I wish we were celebrating your 30th birthday with you today, Robby. You were such a sweet boy. I know you would have been a good man and a good husband and father. We will always love you and miss you. Our hearts are forever broken.
- Mom and Dad |
Happy 30th, Robby! You are always in our thoughts. Love, Uncle Tom & Aunt Arla |

Robby, It is so hard to believe that you have been in heaven for 5 years. We miss you so much. Our family is growing but there is such a big hole without you. I look up at Diamond Mountain or the stars at night and talk to you about Andrea, Jon, Jodi and Kelly and of course the little ones and I know you hear me. My heart is broken that you are not here to share our time with the family. I love you Robby! Aunt Mitzie |

I will always love you, cousin Robby, and remember you the way we were as carefree, crazy kids. I miss you, please watch over us from heaven. |

Robby, we miss you very much, today and everyday. All our love, your Mom and Dad. |
Happy Birthday Robby! I love you and miss you! You share a birthday with Jeff's daughter Laura, you would have liked her and she would like you also. Keep watching over your family. Love Aunt Rhonda |
Hi Robby! I know how random this may seem... the last time we saw each other was probably 1996, 8th grade graduation to be exact. I only heard of your passing just last year, but the news truly hurt my heart. I can't help but feel close to the people I grew up with while going to OLG all those years. I think of you often during this time of year because your birthday falls exactly 1 week before my brother's and mine. So, without further ado Robby, Happy Birthday. Rest well friend. |
In just a few week, we will be celebrating our 10 year class reunion. I have thought of you so often over the past few years and It's hard to believe I won't be seeing you there. I will always remember your genuine and kind friendship and all the good times we had. I miss you so very much.

Its interesting Robby, I was just thinking the other day about you (as I often do). In a period of my life when I often think about the purpose of my life, I found myself thinking about the purpose of your life. I believe we all serve a purpose, including you. I think about all of the people in your life, how many impressions you left in hearts of those who loved you, and the lessons others have learned from your life. I choose to believe you were an angel Robby... an angel sent to teach us all that life is valuable, resiliant, but sensitive. I love you very much old friend, and I think about you constantly. Cant wait to see you on the other side. |
Hi Robby- I am lighting a candle for you. I wish I had the chance to get to know you, Even though I feel like I have.... I wish you got the chance to know me- You were to young to leave-
Your family took me up to Diamond Mountain this weekend. It's a beautiful place. I can see why you and your brother loved it so much. I wish you had the chance to see your brother with his son. He is such a great father. And your cousin & sister too. I know you would have loved all of them and they would have loved you too. I can promise you Brennen will always know how special you were and never forget you. There have been so many happy occasions with the hurt in everyone's heart because you are not there to see it or be there to enjoy the times with your family. I know you were a great person. You had to have been. Your family is so wonderful and your parents are amazing. I love your brother more than words can discribe. Even though there is a void in each and every one of them because they miss you so very much. Your brother especially. He misses you each and everyday and it doesn't get easier. Noone will ever know what or why and there are so many questions everyone wants to ask, but I know you are safe and happy now. Your life will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Robby* |
Robby, just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. I think of you often and every year I see your birthday on my calendar. I especially think of you when I see the cute pictures of Jon's, Andrea's, and Jodie's little ones. You would have enjoyed them very much and been a fantastic uncle. You are so missed here, but your memory is alive and well. Look after all of us, we all need angels on our side. |
Happy Birthday Robby! I Love you, miss you and wish you were here to blow out the 28 candles that you deserve. You are always in my heart. |
Robby - Happy Birthday!! We both miss you and love you very much. Uncle Tom & Aunt Arla |
Robby my thoughts are with you and your family. Happy Birthday |
Robby, Happy Birthday. I cannot believe that have been gone for three years. Time goes by fast but the pain is still so great. Our family will never be the same without you. I think of you every night as I look up at the stars and talk to you. I know you can hear me and I know you are at peace. I love you Robby - Aunt Mitzie |
Dear Robby, Where are you? Today would have been your 28th birthday. But we can only think of you and remember happy birthdays of the past. No cakes. No candles. Only tears. We love you and miss you every day. Sweet dreams, I love you, Robby. XO |
happy birthday, robby! ....its hard to write all the things i have to say, eventhough its been so long, it still hurts, but i love you, i miss you and i think about you every day, happy birthday, your little brother, jon |
Robby,
Tonight we are lighting a candle in your memory and We just cannot believe that you have been gone for 3 years. We miss you so very much. There is a huge part of our family that is missing. We miss your smile each and every day. We love you so much.
Love,
Jodi |
Robby- I hadn't realized it has been three years since you left us. Truth is, it still feels like just yesterday I heard the terrible news and the pain and sadness we all feel remains the same. We all loved you so much and always will. About a week after your passing, you came into my dream, you took off your sunglasses, looked me in my eye, and told me you were okay. I want to thank you for that dream because since that night, I knew you were safe in Gods arms. I want you to know that you were my first love and I will always hold a special place for you and your family in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers. |
Robby, it has been 3 years and we all still miss you so very much. Everyday, I wonder what you would be like now if you hadn’t left us. Where would you work and live, what you would say about the world. You would love your darling nephews and you would have made a great father, too. But, all has been lost. You will never grow up. You will always be 24 and we will never understand why you are gone. We will always love you, Robby. XO - Sweet dreams forever. |
so sorry for your loss. i did not know robert, but my heart aches for those he left behind. |
so many child hood memories ill never forget, its hard to live back in our old neighborhood and not think about you almost every day. miss you bro. |
Robby, I was so sad and shocked to hear the news that you were gone. It's been nearly 3 years and I still can't believe it. I truly hope (and believe you have) you have found peace now. |
I can't believe you're gone. I hope you have peace now. |
Rob, there is so much i want to ask and say, but the truth is i love you and miss you! i think of you every day, knowing your there for me too. Happy Birth Day! love you always, Jonson |
Happy Birthday, Dear Robby! 27 years ago, we were blessed with your arrival. We loved you every day you were with us and we have missed you every day since you left. It has been 2 years and we are no closer to understanding what really happened. If only we could turn back the clock. If only we could have you back. But we can't. So we will do what we can to help save other families from suffering the same terrible loss. We will never stop loving and missing you, Robby. Happy Birthday in heaven. All our love, your Mom and Dad. |
Robby,
I cannot believe it has already been two years that you have been gone. I think of you every day and miss your smile. I know you are at peace and in a better place, but it is very hard here without you. Love you and miss you very much. Aunt Mitzie & Uncle Dean |
Robby, I still cannot believe that you are gone. I miss you more than words can say. I wish you were here so Anthony and Evan could meet their Uncle Robby. I know you are in a good place and are watching over us. We love you. ~Love, Dustin, Jodi, and Evan |
Robby,
Tomorrow we will attend the funeral of your very good friend DJ Lunsford. He has missed you so much and now he's gone to heaven too. So many more hearts are aching. So very many tears. You are forever loved and missed Robby. All my love, always, your mother. |
Robby-I miss you. Plain and simple. It is a good day when I can almost hear your laugh in my memory or when I think about your calming voice. I just try to remind myself that you are in a good place. I will always love you forever and ever. Your friend and big sister, Andrea |
Robby,
What a great son and friend you were to your mom and I. We all miss you so very much that words could never express! Your love, your kindness and your importance in our lives will always remain with us. I love you. I miss you. I thank God for you as our beloved son.
All my love, Dad. |
May the memory of our children, our relatives and our friends, who have passed, live on in our hearts, forever honored and memorialized. May the dreams they had and the lives they lived be remembered always, and may each heart and soul they touched, though forever changed, be healed.
|
Our thoughts and prayers are with you today. |
Robby, I miss you so much. I miss your laugh, your smile, and our talks. I just cannot believe you are gone. Our lives will never be the same without you. I love you Robby. Love, Kelly |
Nearly a year has passed and your family has been very busy Robbie. They are trying to help others though they have lost someone they very dearly love. May the Lord help every person they touch so their loss gives something back to them. May God Bless them all. |
Robby,
It is so hard to believe that you are not with us. We think of you every day. You are always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts. Our family will never be the same without you. We miss you so much. Love You Always, Uncle Dean & Aunt Mitzie |
MAY GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY....LISA-MOTHER OF MY JOY AND HEART, JOSHUA HUSTON |
Robby-I miss your so much. Not a single day goes by that I do not think about your smile and warm hugs and wish we could just turn back the clock to have you here with us again. I love you and always will. Love, Jodi |
Robby, We miss you so much. You left us too soon and so unexpectedly. We have so many unaswered questions. We know how much you loved your family and friends. And you know we will never stop loving you. Sweet Dreams, Robby, I love you. XO, Mom |
Robby, why did you have to go? We miss you every day and struggle to go on without you. We have so many unaswered questions. You will live forever in our hearts. All my love, your mom. |
