I cannot tell you how many times Rob made me laugh. My heart goes out to his family, especially his mom. He was truly one of a kind, there is not and never will be another one like him. I wish I could have been there at his funeral, but my family and I live in Texas now. I will send flowers for his grave. He finally has his wings.

Rob and family, I am very sorry to hear that he has passed, but I am happy to know that he had a great heart and he is no longer suffering on this earth. For Rob's family ya'll are one of the strongest families I know, which means I know you will make it through this. God Bless all of yall.
Dear Gay and Family,
It saddens me greatly to think that we will never see Robert's smiling face as in days gone by. He was always a very special young man and I cared for him dearly. I bestow my deepest sympathies upon you and the family and we will all greatly miss his special/unique personality and ways. God bless you all.

I don't know where to start or what to say, words fail me now. Nothing I can say really will not do justice. Robert was a great person. He loved everyone, and indeed he always has a smile on his face and a new pair of K-SWISS on his feet. That is just how he would do things. Family was important to him and he made sure you knew it. he would make sure that you knew that he loved you at all time. Even if there was a disagreement or a fight the bottom line was he loved you.
Robert I will truly miss you man. I have shed my tears, now my heart is joyful for the memory that carries on.
I leave you with this :
If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you care for me, and how much I care for you,
and each time that you think of me I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do.
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while,
I’d say goodbye and hug you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realised that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I’d miss come tomorrow.
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I’ve promised you,
Today your life on earth is past but here it’s starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last.
and since each day’s the same, there’s no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do.
And you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?"
So if tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me, please know I’m in your heart.
