Now you and Jamie can finally be together in Heaven happy and no more pain or stress..... just plain and simply Be and smiling and laughter. Waiting for the rest of us to be together. Thank you for being a fucking real friend and being there when Jamie passed and my best friend Olivia passed not very long after and for being there to listen to my tears and sadness that came from my lips. I'm sorry for not going to your funeral.... I just had been over the course of the past few months to my grandma's baby sister and best friends funerals.... I could barely make it to Olivia's funeral. Butt I'll definitely miss our talks and at times hell most of the time LOL I'd leave you voice messages forgetting you were friggin hard of hearing and every time you'd text me back saying...."I can't fucking hear those LOL!" Rest Easy Bro....you and Jamie.... when I found this pic it made me cry and smile at the same time. That was years ago. Before any of us really had any idea what life and God had in store for us all. Love you and miss you kiss that stupid and beautiful baby sister for me and tell her I'm getting better and stronger for my babies and her babies.

While I knew Bobby. I didnt know him well. Though I can see he was very blessed with love all around him. Heck of a legacy. All my love and condolences to all that knew and loved him and his precious son. Rest easy!

Oh my Bobby… we have been friends since childhood. I think that anyone you met was touched somehow by your life. You were such an amazing person. I remember specifically one year, at our HUGE 4th of July parties we had, you dropped your plans with your buds to come hang out with me cause I was completely distraught. I had a lot of things going on, and you were always there to comfort me. We sat on a round bail of hay out in my grandpas field and watched all the fireworks together. You let me cry on your shoulder and held my hand until I could get myself together. You were so good at that. Making people feel good. You will forever be in my heart. I love you now and forever.

My best memories of Bob were in DUHS marching band. He was the funniest. Always clowning in band and yet at the same time the most extremely serious kid about band. Bob and Nick were wild. Never one without the other, inseparable. When I remember my school experiences with Bob (from what seems like a million years ago), a few words come to mind. Fearless, unique, outspoken, loud, funny, passionate, artistic, musical and kind. Above all else he was kind. The dictionary defines kindness as "the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate." All talents and achievements set aside, Bob defined kindness. He radiated it in school, wherever the marching band was at, or inside any gig/party he could find as a kid. You can not use the word kind to label most kids. Heck you can not use the word kind to label most adults. Thanks Bob, for always being kind and freely giving kindness. May Bobs small town kindness and world wide dreams inspire us all wherever our individual journeys take us.

Bob and I go back too far to recall exactly. Over 3/4 of my life was knowing and playing with him. I’m not sure I was his oldest friend but he was mine. Bob was the type of guy that made you cool. I was a dork. Shy. Unpopular. Bob didn’t care. He’d sit with me at lunch when some others wouldn’t. Because he was the cool kid other kids would sit by me sometimes. Just cause he was there. He told me In Bloom reminded him of me. I loved nirvana after that. We would draw skulls in his room with pens. I liked to draw but I never used a pen before. It was too easy to make a mistake and ruin it I thought. Bob said you can just change it and it’s not ruined. We talked about music. I’d watch him practice his drums. We went a million places together and someone always knew him. Even as a teen I was awkward and sorta shy, nerdy. Bob would introduce me to everyone like he didn’t know or maybe care that I wasn’t cool like him. I never told him but as a kid and teen he was my hero. Musically, artistically, and in so many other ways. I let my creativity go as I got older. He always told me I was wasting my talent. He was big on that. Seeing things. Using what god gave you. He would swing around and get me playing my guitar. We jammed together a lot but I was always feeling like I wasn’t good enough. He was the best drummer next to freschette. But freschette would tell you otherwise. I loved him and I’m cool with saying that out loud. He loved me too. I keep thinking of watching his parents band country thunder practice and Bobby just air drumming along with his dad. Dee dees voice would make me stop everything and listen. We were kids. Dreaming of being adults and all the things we would do. I miss that. I miss him but I know one day I’ll be sitting alone at some table in heaven and he will come sit by me.

Bob... You were more than a friend, you were family. I still cannot believe it. In a world of fake people, you were the most warm, genuine, real, person I've ever known. You were always willing to help others out. You will never be forgotten my friend, my brother.

Bobby was so much fun and such a sweet guy. We’ve been friends since high school and we would touch base with each other about parenting troubles and he made sure to check up on me when my dad died. My (one of) favorite memories of Bobby was at a high school party where he convinced me he could smash a huge can of pineapples (emptied) like a pop can against his forehead, which obviously didn’t end well because he cut himself but he looked at me all covered in blood with a smile and said “well… guess not!” I’m going to miss him

I still can't believe this is real life and that you're gone Bobby. You were my first love, one that has sustained up until this very moment. We grew up together and eventhoug we grew apart were able to continue our friendship. Thank you for showing me the caliber of guy i deserved. Damn it Bobby, so many memories swirl around me...you touched the stars with what you loved the most, music. You'll NEVER be forgotten and deeply missed. Please tell my Dad hi. My Bobby Bear, ill forever be your fish head ❤
