I am truley blessed and lucky to say you where my friend, and i loved you. I will never be able to eat another PB&J withuy thinking about you! Till we meet again some day! Youll we truley missed!!
Wow, just in utter shock. My thoughts go out to Robert’s family. We knew Robert and his sister Heather from our youth group that my husband and I did when they were teens. I remember his big smile, how tough he was and how much he loved his family. I remember our youth group trip to Canada, all the crazy fun at horseshoe and running into him in town with his son and how proud he was. I will never know how someone full of so much potential gets to the point they feel so hopeless but I truly hope he knew how much he was loved by so many. I am glad the family can see how much he was cared for. May your memories help carry you through this sad, difficult time… until we meet again Robert. Love you.
I remember when I first met you like it was yesterday. Not knowing that it was gonna be many years of a good friendship. I miss you horribly Robert. I still dont want to believe your gone. I have never known a man with such a big heart. The world seems smaller without you. Rest in peace my friend!
Your friend,
Maghen Boozer
I will miss you my friend,forever and always
ROBERT I WILL GREATLY MISS YOU , YOU WERE A PART OF MY LIFE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET, I LOVE YOU
I can still see you, as if it were yesterday, on that wrestling mat, determined and strong. Then as an adult I loved the conversations we had about kids and the dreams you had for yours. May the peace that eluded you here wash over you tonight and all those that follow Robert.
Robert we only meant you a couple times but those times were good we spent a whole day with you and had a blast you were a good person and we are very sorry you chose this way but whatever reasons you had to do this they were your reasons so may you rest in peace and god bless your soul
My heart breaks once again a year later. You were Chico’s best friend. Take care of each other up there!
Robert, I wish you knew you had many people you could have talked to. You are and will be missed, forever in our hearts. You have given us memories of happy times with our family. Please know you are loved. RIP and be at peace.
Greg, DeEtta and family.
I wish I knew what to say about this shockingly tragic time. Robert, you are missed by so many people. I hope you know how much you are loved. Be with God and rest in peace.
May you rest in peace.
I had only known you for a short while. We had some amazing times and heart to hearts sitting down at the river, shannon lake, and on the hill laying in the bed of my truck starring up at the stars. You made me feel truly happy again and I fell in love with your eyes smile laugh and personality. You always made me smile. Im gonna miss having you to sing and dance with me in my truck and you laughing at me when I get stung by wasps so I give you my cones. Or how you hand your hand on my pregnant belly and told me I was having a girl way before i found out Everly was indeed a girl. I’ll cheris the Times we shared together forever. Whenever i look at the stars ill always be thinking of you and how amazing You were. I love you and miss you friend.
Robert, It seems so unreal to know that you are gone for good. It has been years since I have seen you cuz of the miles between us but it doesn’t mean I didn’t think of you. Wish you could have came down here to visit. We shared a lot of birthdays together. I love you cuz! Please be a guardian angel for the entire family. You are brave enough for the job! Til we meet again. I love you.
My heart is broken for you. Many laughs and tears we’ve share over the years buddy. From Finney fires and ten acre mud holes to Caskey parties. I will miss those bright eyes and warm smile. Too many words are now left unsaid. You are so so loved and will be so awfully missed. While we will never know why, I pray you have now the peace you weren’t able to find here. Pig I love you my brother from another mother. And in my heart deep down in the box of memories reserved only for those who earned a spot, I will keep you forever and ever.
Rob, you were my world, my heart and my soul… You were my best friend and the best brother any one could ever ask for… We may have had our outs but damn it why did you do this… I would give anything to hug you and tell you how much I love you one last time… My world has been crushed…. Until we meet again, rest in peace Rob…:(:(:(
Rest In Peace Robert, you were and are loved by many.
