  2. Kelsey says:

    Rob if you have taught me one thing it’s to never take another hug for granted. I will never be able to get another one from you and that kills me because your hugs were the truest hugs i think ive ever known. We will smile for you. We will sing and love and be all we can for you becuase you have inspired us to even in the hardest of times to support one another. Know our love is eternal and gods will hold you till we can again. WE LOVE YOU ROBERT!

  3. Melissa Murray says:

    Robert I still can’t believe you are gone. I have known you and your family for what seems like forever. I dread the day my little brother James comes home from deployment and we have to tell him his best friend is no longer here . He is going to be desvestated because he couldn’t be here with all of your family and friends. I know you are in a better place now but the selfish part of me wants to say you should have stayed with us longer! Rest in peace Robert…

    • Caylene says:

      Hey, idk if you’ve heard of me but I’m Rob & James’s friend from back in the day & I live here in Washington. So I’m hoping to see him a day or so after he gets back & hears the news. Just want you to know I’m planning on being there for him..

    Robert, I was driving down the street a few hours ago, looking at the people just walking along and couldn’t help but think, “Don’t you know what happened today? How can you stroll down the street so non-chalantly?” It still seems so unreal to think that you are gone, I can’t imagine the pain your family is going through if mine is this strong. You were loved by anyone who met you, they couldn’t help it. We’ll miss you.

  6. Vito & Karen Vitale says:

    Robert you are SO missed by so many. We have watch you grow from a little kid to a young man..We just cannot imagine you not coming in the house and me teasing you about your hair..James will be so devestated when he finds out..he lost his best friend,his partner in crime a person he called his brother..Please know that ypu are loved and missed by so many friends and family and watch down on us as we say goodbye to you may you touch James in someway to know that you are okay and help him deal with losing his best friend..We will miss you RIP Robert… our other son

  7. Philip says:

    Robb, I have more memories of you than I could possibly think of having in a lifetime with almost anyone else. I’m gonna miss your crazy antics, that uncontrollable laugh that you get when I say one of my lame jokes and the countless qualities that I always seemed to take for granted. I still can’t truly get a grip on the fact that we’ll never get to sing along horribly to music, play video games, watch the superbowl rooting for opposite teams, watch your exaggerated reaction when someone scares you, or just sit down and talking about life in general again. You were always someone I knew I could count on for just about anything and hope you felt the same about me. I wish I could talk to you one more time, I feel like there’s so many things left unsaid. I guess it’s true that God always seems to take the best people too soon. I miss you already and hope to see you again some day. Goodbye and RIP.

  8. Monica Hicks says:

    Rob through every one that knew you. Loved you and will miss you dearly. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

  9. brandy & james vitale says:

    Robert. I miss you and i know will always miss his best friend and his brother. I still cant even get around the thought that you not with us. I still want to text you and hope you reply. its heartbreaking and i cant even imagine how your parents are dealing with his. I keep tellig my self that your with god and your looking down on us trying to make us all feel better even though we are trying. Rob where ever you are know that we all love you so much and that we all love you and wish you were still here. I know everyone will see you again. rest in peace

  10. Shay says:

    Rob, I dont even feel good enough to leave a comment. You were right down the street. It always seemed like theyre would be just another day to come say hi. It still feels like that…you were the first person i met out of all the knuckleheads. I can still see your little rat tail and giant tuba thing. I cant believe im never going to see your big goofy smile or random bursts of laughter. I cant believe i was so selfish never to come say hello more often like i should have.Some of my favorite memories are from just sitting around your house. Like when you attacked me and wouldnt let me go home. I cant imagine how your family feels, or how James is going to feel. I hope he lets me be there for him,and he can forgive me. I love you my little Yoda friend. Im sorry i wasnt as good of friend as i should have been. Im going to miss you so much Rob. We love you so much.

  11. Sam says:

    Rob, you are my best friend! You were there for me through thick, and thin. Anytime i needed you, you would rush to be there for me no matter what. You were a great person who lived his life to help others through their pains. That is a quality most people can’t fathom having. You had it more than anyone. I can’t believe i will never b able to sit around while you all drink and scream dream theater at 3:30 in the morning. We will never go Geo Cashing again. I LOVE YOU BUDDY!!! I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU!!!

    “Live As If You Were To Die Tomorrow,
    Learn As If You Were To Live Forever.”

  12. Mrs. Bubley says:

    Rob, I will always embrace and celebrate your life. I still hear you call my name “hey Mrs. B”. It’s as if I have lost one of my own. you left us all way to soon… You left big footprints on many hearts including mine. See you up in heaven “CURLY TOP”…. save me a seat.

  13. Brittany says:

    RIP Robert… You will forever remain the greatest friend I have ever had.

  14. Cassandra James says:

    I do have to say, it is weird to think that you are gone…. more like unbelievable i must say…. Someone I went to school with, since middle school, someone who always greeting me with a hug and a big smile. I’ve known you for years, and never knew how unhappy you were. I hope your in a better place, a place that you want to be. Good bye Rob, have a peaceful sleep.

  15. Momma says:

    My dear son Robert I miss more than words can ever say. You brought warmth and happiness to my life every day, my momories of you are all I have left. But you will always be with me in my heart and my mind and most definately my soul. I love you stinky

  16. crzymomma says:

    I will never forget the time Chris and I were at your house with your momma (childless at the time)and you were just a little thing….you kept jumping up and running around….you wouldn’t sit still! I asked your momma why and she said if you sat still to long you would fall asleep and you didnt want to miss the party! Having 3 boys of my own–I have told people the same thing to people about my own boys when they dont want to miss the party….I pray for your family and you everyday…..

  17. Rachel says:

    I still remember the fun that Rob, James and Philip brought to the lunch table in middle school. His laugh was so infectious. I haven’t talked to him in so long, but I can still hear it. Its so hard to believe that sound will never echo through the world again.
    I hope you are in a happy place now, Rob. A place where worldly struggles are far behind you. Where all you feel is the warmth of the sun. No pain. Rest in Peace Grr…

  18. Shelby says:

    It still hasn’t completerly registared that you’re gone. We weren’t the best of friends, and soe people would say we weren’t friends at all. But I always have and always will consider you my friend. You had the coolest hair ever, and when you cut it off it was pretty depressing. You seemewd to always be smiling when I saw you. Especially around Nefris… All I can say is this. You will always be in so many thoughts, so many prayers, of everyone who you met. Rest in Paradise

  19. Momma says:

    It has been one week today that I lost my Robert and I still can’t believe it. I miss him so much. My heart hurts, it feels as if it will implode. Today is the first day wihout a houseful of friends, its just me and Trevor, and with every look or smile from Trev, I see Robert and my hearts hurts that much more.

  20. Sabrina says:

    Saturday as I sat at my little cousins memorial service I asked him for a sign to show me he was here with us…. all I saw at the time was a little aunt walkin all over me, didn’t think much of it…. the next day was 4Th of July and I felt weak and helpless but I got up and went about my day thinking… my family in heaven wouldn’t want me to be feeling so bad. I went that night to watch the fireworks and I was taking pics with my phone and sending them to my husband and daughter it wasn’t till later i saw my sign…. inside the smoke of the firecracker was perfectly shaped heart….THANK YOU ROBERT FOR MY SIGN I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AND MISS YOU….

  21. Sabrina says:

    I remember when you were born, it snowed that day. I remember the day you came home you were so small and Grandma was yelling at us NOT TO TOUCH THE BABY. You brought in this light into our lives, you signified something pure. There was four of us and you made number five because I don’t think any of us looked at you like a cousin but more like our little brother.

    I remember your mom always yelling at us “give me a diaper for the baby” or “Sabrina get a bottle for Robert” and Grandma yelling at your mom they aren’t your slaves you do it then they would just go back and forth, by the time they were done arguing about it we were all playing outside.

    Grandma use to brush your hair and she just loved your curls in the back, you had that Billy Ray hair cut cause that’s who your mom was into at the time. Grandma would put colon on you and tell you to run to your mom and ask her “do I smell pretty or what”?? your mom would get a good smell and tell you mm mm you smell handsome!!! and you would get so happy and go tell Grandma what she said.

    When I would walk you up and down the street in your stroller so could fall asleep I would always tell you all my problems, no one knew my counselor was a 2 yr old 🙂 Had to do something it take 15 or 20 minutes for you to fall asleep that was alot of walking. I wish we can have just one more walk together.

    Just wanted to share some good memories with you Robert. I’m sure Ill come out with some more.
    I LOVE YOU.

  22. Erle2bed says:

    When Jim and Vanessa moved in next door to us, they had 2 boys. Robert, (a year younger than my Ashley) and little Trevor. James and little Tony lived across the street and between our houses and the driveways they played almost everyday. The air was filled with the noise of the children playing games and all their antics. Brian lobbing water balloons from the roof, us playing Greek with the kids, (us adults played too you know) football, bikes and skates or skateboards (not to forget Pokemon.) Then came the Razors. One vivid memory I have with Robert is playing Playstation. I was playing Tekken with the kids. I would move around a lot when I played. Robert was sitting next to me and when I went to make this one move I swung around with the controller and smacked Robert right in the forehead. We looked at each other with a stunned looked and all started laughing. I gave him a big hug and said I was sorry. He was always a real good sport. His tail… He started growing this tail on the back of his head. I use to tease him about this. Then he colored his hair. 🙂 He always just shrugged his shoulders and smiled. I look back now and he knew I thought it was cute. Then he grew his hair out. I really got him for that, but inside he reminded me of my daughter’s father who had ringlets just like his. And when he started playing the Tuba, (I think it was a Tuba) I was so proud of him. He looked so cute as little as he was carrying that huge instrument. Then one day they grew up. The boys found themselves doing what boys do and Ashley was growing into a young lady. High school came. Jim and Vanessa moved and eventually we did too. Ashley and Robert still were in contact periodically. She had talked to him recently when he got his new phone because she has the same one too. Life is short…too short for 19, too short for life. Love and take care of each and everyone. Robert, you will always hold a special place in my heart. All of you kids will. I love you boy. Susan

    Rob i miss you! I cant believe your gone!

    One of my favoriate memories is when You, Jamie, Adriana and I went to the movies to see white noice. I can remeber You and Jamie made us girls (who for once were on time) late so that we showed up just when the movie was about to start. Sense you guys had made us late we gave you the money for the candy and drinks that we wanted and sent you boys to go and get them. You guys came in right as someone was getting killed and jumped. For some reason you guys thought it was a good idea to sit in front of us two girls after you brought us back a large popcorn and 1 soda, after we had asked for 2 sodas and two boxs of candy. Being us girls we desided it would be fun to scare the two of you as many times we could through out the movie. By the time we had desided that we couldnt eat anymore of the popcorn and you boy could have the rest you both a jumped/sreamed many times. I had never see two boys eat so much popcorn so fast after that. Then when the movie was just getting ‘good’ you both turned to us and said “were out of popcorn and you guys didnt get any candy. We should go get you two candy.” And then you guys were off. Adriana and I didnt see you guys untill about 10 minutes before the movie had ended, with our candy and 2 almost empty cartens of popcorn.

    I still laugh everytime I think about that day! I can still picture the two of you when you left that theatre. I dont know what you guys did for the last 45 minutes of the movie but by the time you had both come back you both had big smiles on your faces!

    I love you Rob! The world will never be the same with out you!!
    Megan

  24. Britanie says:

    Robert, 9 days have passed, and i still cant believe your gone. The memories of you run through my head day to day. Like one time we were at the movies, and you were playing the star wars video game, and right as you were about to beat the entire game, a little 3 year old boy ran behind the machine and unplugged it. you got so mad, it was pretty funny. well at least now im sure you can laugh at it. I know once me and sam split i didnt get to see you as much, but every time i would see you in a random place my face would light up and i would scream your name. your smile puts so many other smiles on peoples faces. i cant believe your no longer in my life, but u will always be in my heart and thoughts. Your an amazing person with the sickest hair and biggest obsession of star wars ive ever seen. I miss you so much robert. Your face will never be forgotten. I love you. I hope somehow, someday, I will see you again. Until then buddy, rest in peace. Love you Rob!

    – Love always, Britanie

  25. Beth says:

    Robert, I will never forget you. When I think of you all I can remember is all the things you did to make me laugh. you always put a smile on my face. Its hard to believe that someone I knew so dearly left this earth so quickly. I know your famly must be in alot of pain, I know I am, but I know you went to see the Lord. You are resting with God. You were a sweet boy and I miss you so much.

  26. Ben McClary says:

    I had the privilege of being Robert’s youth pastor for a couple of years in high school. He was a good kid and I really enjoyed getting to know him. My prayers go out to all of his friends and family.

    “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit.” -Psalm 34:18 (NLT)

    “Jesus told him, ‘I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.” -John 14:6 (NLT)

    It’s not goodbye forever for those who have given their lives to Jesus. It won’t be long before we see you, again, Robert! Rest in the presence of Jesus.

  27. renevigil73 says:

    I’ve been waiting to post something until I could find the right words, but there are no words for your loss. I love you and your family and I will keep all of you in my prayers.

  28. Mrs. Bubley says:

    Rob, i hope you are able to see your friends and family and i hope and pray you feel the incrediable love we all have for you. I am trying to be there for your friends and your family but today it is becoming harder to hold back the pain in my heart. It has been a few weeks since i last saw you and heard you call me Mrs. B.. I didnt realize how much thos 4 letters ment to me. I see the heartbreak in everyone left behind including me amd mr. B …. You touched more lives than you may ever know and not slightly but deeply…You are so incrediably missed… I feel it is a bad dream and i just want to wake up… I miss you and even though you are no longer here you gave me and your mom a very special gift and bond forever. Thank you so much for being you and being there for my son when he needed you. He truly loved you.

  29. Angel Brown says:

    Awwww I am very sorry for your loss. )= R.I.P. Robert Earl Weaver .

  30. Sabrina says:

    My heart hurts and cries when ever I think about you I cant seem to move forward not even one step. When ever I think of your Mom and Dad’s pain my heart hurts for them. I picture your brothers in my head and how they need their big brother right now, and I just cant take it. You meant so much to so many people we all loved you so much Robert. Only now you can realize how much you were adored, wanted and loved. If I can wear my heart on the outside and if my heart had a voice the world would have to cover their ear’s cause my heart would scream and yell and cry for you…

    I think back when we started talking again on myspace, I got to tell you how much you meant to me and how much I always loved you. I told you how proud I was of you and how I wanted my boys to be just like you. Before we started talking I looked for you for along time. You have always been in my heart and always will be.. I didn’t mean to stay away I just needed to find myself.

    Grandma told me one time that you told her “If we can go back into time I would want us to go back to the Girard house when we were altogether” I love you for that because that means our time with you there at that house meant just as much to you as it did for me… thinking of you today and everyday for ever…

  31. KAREN VITALE says:

    Oh Robert how we still cant believe you are gone it has been 3 weeks and I still feel like it was yesterdaywhen I got the terrible news…Oh how we miss you…today your best friend James returned from deployment and his wife Brandy had to tell him the terrible news that you are gone..Please Robert know that James is in so much pain ..let him know you are ok and as the days go by give us all the strenght ..you guys are a couple of nuckleheads with so many years of memories and our families have an empty spot right now but know ..we love ya and miss ya so much ..I still cannot grip that you are gone.. but I also smile when I see your face .. a smile that can never be replaced RIP

  32. Sabrina says:

    Today we lay you to rest but you will never leave our hearts. I’m sorry your gone. You will most defiantly be missed.
    I Love You always always…

    Rest In Peace My Dear Cousin

  33. Momma says:

    To my Son,
    I miss you you so much. I want to hear you laugh, I want to hear you ask for $20, I want to be able to yell at you to leave your brothers alone. But most of all i want to give you a hug and pull at your curls. I hope you know how much I love. ALWAYS.

  34. Sabrina says:

    Miss you. I have pictures of you all over my house… I know your home now with Grandma but it hurts so bad… wish it would just STOP HURTING.

    I was looking at a picture of you you must have been a year old because on your first birthday I remember so vividly your mom SO excited because that was the day you stud up all by yourself… I remember your mom saying ” this is his present to me” I remember because I felt for her:)
    That was the year we all got chicken pocks to, and WOW everyone in the house was mad at me because I was the one who brought it to the house and your mom was like now my poor baby gonna have chicken pocks.. but when you got them you never cried or really even got sick, I guess you can say you took it like a champ hehe.

    All the memories I have now and all of them are so vivid I keep them close to me, always remembering you. I keep singing the songs Grandma and your mom use to sing to you… I’m making a scrapbook in your memory, wish you can see it…

    Miss you Robert I’m always remembering you…. love you sunshine

  35. Mrs. Bubley says:

    Rob think about you every day,,,

  36. Momma says:

    Today i look around and everything seems a little off. Your brothers are off in school and I can’t help but hope that you will come through the front door and take over the TV to play the PS3 or just complain that there’s nothing to eat and that I should make you something cuz I love you so much. I am lonely son without you. there is a hole in my heart. I love you so much and miss you terribly. I wish we had more time. I pray for strength. I can’t even imagine going to work at the same place I lost you. I hope you know you saved me from myself 20 years ago. You have been my sunshine since the moment of your existence. I love you so much son, I hope you knew that. I MISS YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.

  37. shay says:

    Rob, I miss you so much. Somehow i think of you everyday. Whether im listening to the Chili Peppers or just walking by your house. I still cant believe..it just feels like you’re gone for a little while. I feel so awful for your family,especially your mom. I wish i could have known her better. and you. Everytime i fight with woody or my family, i always end up thinking about you. SAnd how i miss you so much and just wish you could come back and give me a big laugh session and i realize how much i hate myself for never seeing you. i shouldnt treat the ones i love like that. idk what im saying. i just miss you.

  38. Derek says:

    Me and Robert always knew of eachother. We went to school together for all those years. we hung out with the same people. we did alot of the same things. Growing up, going through school I was always the kid who was having a hard time just shutting my mouth and doing what I needed to do so I could just get out of school go home and hang out with “The Gang”. As alot of you know. Rob as well. I was expelled from Dartmouth Middle school. And I dropped out of Hemet High. I Missed alot of things throughout those years. Things you all got to experiance. Be apart of together. With Rob. It makes me sad that I missed all those times with Everyone. With Rob. But I am so Thankfull, To God for giving me a chance to become a real friend to Rob Towards the end of his short life. I would get so mad, and sometimes its still hard not to get mad. I get confussed. Sad. But im learning to be thankfull. For the great memories Rob gave me. For the good times I was able to enjoy with Rob.

    We never really got the chance to become best friends Rob.
    But through the family you and our friends created.
    I was giving the Chance to become your brother.

    Rest in Peace.
    Forever in our hearts.
    Gone but never forgotten.

  39. Ashley M says:

    rob,
    All through my life I find it hard to look someone in the eye and belive them and believe that they are true at heart.Through the years of our friendship, I never knew id meet someone who you could just come up to so easily and just talk to and feel so comfortable around. You would give hugs and the words you said truly meant something and it really felt special and i finally believed. im sorry for not stayin in Cali with you.Im sorry for not hanging out w/ you more or tellin you all the time wat a great friend you were to me.im sorry for ever getting upset w/ you or for never watching star wars with you. You really truly were one of my best friends and im so glad i got to spend my last days in Cali w/ you. i cant thank you enough for acceptin me into your life and calling me one of your friends. Its one of the biggest honors to have met you and been apart of your life and to have seen the beautiful things you have done. You were truly there through some of the hardest parts of my own life and i cant thank you enough for being honest with me even when it hurt and for holdin me up when i felt all the walls fallin down. everday i miss you more and more. i look through my cell phone everyday and see ur name and remember hanging out with the gang, and just being silly kids. Through the tears, and laughter good and bad we always worked things out. because we all truly were a family. Its hard to admit you are gone. those words are so perminant and aches in every inch of my body to say it, but i know you are in a beautiful wonderful place watching over all of us. making sure we are all safe.you’ll always be in my heart. always. thank you for blessing us ur great personality, your soft,fuzzy hair :), and the smile and laugh that we’ll never forget. im so thankful for having you in my life. everytime i hear the song dust in the wind i think of you rob.i think of your love for all of us and how its been such a powerful thing you’ve shared.
    To our brother,son, bff, friend, and truest jedi you will always remain in our hearts, gone but surely never forgotten.

    rest in peace i love you rob <3

Rob, i wish you were still here.. your the only person i could’ve turned to right now…i miss you sooo much. you’ll always be my best friend. not a day goes by when i don’t shed a tear for you. its so hard without you robalob. but i know your here with me, with all of us. its the only comfort i have through all this hardship. its been so hard to connect with people since you’ve been gone…its like i can’t get close with anyone anymore, even with the people i still care deeply about. i’m trying my hardest…i dont want to be a bad friend. I know i’ll snap out of it eventually….its just so hard. i miss you with all my heart. i cant till the day when i’ll see you again my friend. i love you, always

I have that little boy image of you in my head. God I hate this, trying to type I cant help but to let go of tears. As I sat on the beach looking at an amazing view I pictured you there sitting with me and I pictured you healthy young and free. I have and have ALWAYS had a special place in my heart for just you. I love you Robert always always…

  46. momma says:

    I can’t imagine Thanksgiving without you coming in and asking me where your pumpkin pie is. You could eat them faster than I could make them. As I eat my pie I will remember you my son and all the good times we had fighting over the last peice of pie. I miss you so much there are no words to describe how I truely feel. This doesn’t seem possible, a holiday season without you. I love my precious boy.

  50. KD says:

    I just felt the need to come on here and tell you how much I miss you. Nefris and I have become really close the last few months. She’s helped me through a lot, and I wish you could be here for it, too. You’ll always have a little piece of my heart, Rob.

  51. momma says:

    I can’t help but miss you son. Some days I can feel your presence and I am comforted and others I can’t and feel utterly alone. I love you so much and wish I could just reach out and hug you. Someday again I will hold you when its my turn to join you in Gods kingdom. What a wonderful day that will be. I love you son.

  52. momma says:

    Happy Birthday Son, I love you.

    Always missing you. Seems so unfair. I have dreams of Grandma, on those days my world seems so much better. But I wish I could have a dream with you in it. Why wont it happen? Why don’t you visit me? My heart cry for you both and I wish it would heal. I swear I’ve had signs telling me your here with us but it just don’t seem like it’s good enough. Selfish I know but I just wish I could turn back time. Never looked at you like a cousin but my little brother that I didn’t get to see grow up, it really does hurt that I didn’t get to see as much as I wished but I thought about you ALL THE TIME. Wish I could have been there for you in all your times of need. One lesson I have learned..Don’t let anything anyone keep you from the one’s you love!!!
    I love you Robert always always..

  55. Derek says:

    Rob,
    I love and miss you. Thank you for changing my life.

  56. Derek says:

    So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

    2 Corinthians 5:6-8

  57. Derek. says:

    Robert,
    You changed my life forever. I just wanted to tell you thanks, Its such a blessing knowing that toward the end of your life, you were at bible study with Nefirs, learning more about the lord. Its that same bible study I was taken to after you passed away. It was your faith, that gave me faith. We used to go to church togther, by the high school. but I was only there to hang out with all our friends, it was never about Christ. Thats changed now, I finally know who Christ is and what he did for Me, and You. I know in my heart that your in a great place, a place where im going to get to see you agian, and rejoice together in everlasting life, in heaven. Its going to be good to see you agian. im going to be giving testimony at my church in a few weeks, a testimony on how Christ has saved me from this world. Thanks for being Christ soilder and recrutting me. I’ll make sure you get credit for being my gaurdian angel. I love you Rob.

  58. Derek says:

    Rob,
    Im going to be stnading up in church next sunday, giving my testimony of how Christ has changed my life forever, You are a big part of what i will be saying, You have saved me from many things, you brought light to my life, i know you are in heaven with Jesus, and with God, and i cant wait to see you agian brother, you are truly an angel, a soilder in Gods army, and i look forward to being close to you agian someday. Thank you for always reminding me of that.

  63. momma says:

    I miss you so much son. My heart still breaks.

  64. Derek says:

    I waited patiently for God to help me; then He listened and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out from the bog and the mire, and set my feet on a hard, firm path and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, of praises to our God. Now many will hear of the glorious things He did for me, and stand in awe before the Lord, and put their trust in Him.

    Psalms 40:1-3

    Not a day goes by without me thanking God for allowing me to be apart of your life. You mean so much to me Rob, No regrets dude! Just know that your life means alot to everyone, You have been gone almost two years, but you have been more apart of my life in these two years then ever before. My kids will know about you, I will always be thinking about you. Pray for us Rob, ask God to heal our broken hearts, and spirits, ask Him to be our strength. I love you Brother. Ill be in touch.

    -Derek

  65. Derek says:

    Rob,

    Two years ago tomorrow you left us to be joined with our heavenly father, and not a day goes by where we dont think about you, and the 19 years you had spent here with us. I know I only knew you for half that time, but the impact you have had on my life will be everlasting. I thank and praise God for your life. I know your Mom misses you terribly. Pray for her Robert, she needs prayer. I pray for her always but I cant imagien what it feels like having lost a child. Im about to be a father of three. Im having a son, when I think about him, or talk about him, I think of you, and your mom. You have forever changed my life, and my children will know about there uncle Robby. You helped there father be a better man, and better dad. I dont talk about you much, because it still makes me cry, but I am always thinking about you, and praying for you. I hope your enjoying your time with our Father. I cant wait to rejoice in the Lord when my time comes. Keep us in your prayers Rob, we need them!

    Your Christian Brother,
    Derek J. Schalow.

  93. Momma says:

    I think of you every day Robert. I wonder how your life would be like. How many kids you would have, where you would live.

    I had a dream a while back of you and you had 2 kids, a boy and a girl. Your daughter had your curly ringlets up in two ponytails, her name was after my mom Josephine and your son was younger just learning to walk and he was named after you, Robert. You were very happy. I didn’t see who you were married too but it didn’t matter, you and my grandbabies were happy.
    I love you and miss you very much.

  94. Momma says:

    I still think of you every day my son. I love you.

  95. Derek says:

    Rob, I still tell people how much you changed my life. I ended up here tonight because you helped me share the love of christ with another person. You changed my life and for that I am forever grateful. I wish I could sit with you and talk about all the moments in life that we didn’t see clearly. To laugh and cry together. I wish we had more time, but I believe we will have so much of that time together soon. I look forward to hugging you and crying with much joy that the pain of this life is finally over. Until then, I know your with me..

    -Derek
