I will not ever forget this tragic day we lost you. My days will not be the same without you calling to check how everything is. I had the opportunity to hold your hand one last time on the day of the funeral and got one last glimpse of that gorgeous red hair. You impacted my life in so many ways that will be stuck with me forever. I love love love you, Bobby. Fly high.

I want to share that I feel like God blessed me beyond measure to give me almost 29 years with one of the most beautiful souls that ever walked this world. Bobby was caring and loving and always wanted people to feel valued. He always ended all his calls with “I love you”…there won’t be any more of those calls but I’ll never forget them. I love you Bobby in Heaven as I loved you here on Earth, until we meet again son, take care and Rest Easy.

Bobby was such an amazing soul. He was so much fun to be around, always so hype. His energy was everything. The first time I met Bobby was at his place in Alexandria with my husband and I was cleaning his kitchen, I mean I was literally washing dishes and all. He told me I didn’t have to but I wanted to help. Bobby and his mom that day helped my husband get his truck back because it got towed that night I was doing dishes, I’ll never forget that. Bobby you will be forever missed and loved by us all. Until we meet again. Travis misses you Bobby, just so lost for words.
