Robert A. Surber Obituary

Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Robert A. Surber US Army Sergeant. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,

Having lost a cousin in Viet Nam almost 42 years ago, I know that the pain dulls, but it never goes away. Thank you for Robert's sacrifice and for yours.

A true great american hero. All gave some, Sgt. Surber gave all. Some day when i get to heaven, I will shake his hand and give him a salute. God bless all of the Surber family.

Dear Family of Sgt. Surber, You do not know me...nor did Robert but my mother Glyn Asher Surber passed away June 30, 2008 in Knoxville and I was looking through other Surbers' who had passed and as I was signing out this popped up and I read through a few. My thought was that I feel very proud to be a Surber and to know that this young man died for our freedom. I will remember you in my prayers and I only wish I had known him. I am so very sorry for your loss.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Robert, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

To Kerri, Ray, Jenn, and Melody,
A year goes by so quick, On June 3rd America lost a hero. And we are so sorry you lost your son, and brother.

So long my friend

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Sgt Surber and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

Sincere sympathy and love, Pat - R.N.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

To Robert's Family:

My mother was a Surber. I am researching my family tree tonight and came across this book. I stopped my family tree research and began researching Robert. I have discovered that he was one of our finest and was a hero. I am proud that he carried the last name Surber. I'm sure we are related somehow and wish I had had the opportunity to meet him. I appreciate his passion for freedom and serving all of us. God bless his family and his friends. May his sacrifice be held in high esteem by all Americans.

I pray that God will pour out His comfort on you during this very sad time. There are others in this guest book that know your grief and are more than willing to help you in any way. When I lost Jared it was very hard but with each day the Lord is helping me through it. I ask that God do the same for you.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. I HAVE JUST LEARNED OF YOUR GREAT LOSS AND WISH TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES. PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO DO CARE AND YOUR HERO WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR TREASURED MEMORIES THAT HIS SPECIAL SMILE MAY CONTINUE TO SHINE. I PRAY THAT PEACE WILL FIND YOU ALL SOMEDAY. GODSPEED AND SEMPER FI.

I send my deepest sympathy for the Surber family loss. Everyone will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Surber family in the loss of Robert. I did not know Robert, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Robert you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.

May God grant you peace in the loss of your son who sacrificed his life for our country. He is a true hero and we are proud of him.

Dear Family & Friends of Sgt. Robert Surber,

On Saturday my husband and I read in the paper of your soldier coming home and went to honor him as the processional went by. But we had missed him and were saddened, for to pay our respects to you would have been an honor for us.

Today, my friend asked me to meet her for lunch in Inverness and I was stopped by a police officer at a light in order to wait for your son and your family to go by. As I cried with you, I laid my hand across my heart and I asked Jesus to touch you and to let you feel his presence for the comfort that he gives.

Then I said to your son, Sir, I thank you for being one of the ones who has allowed my children and grandchildren to lay their heads down at night without the fears so many others across the seas have to live with everyday.

The sacrifice you and your son have made is huge, unimaginable for us to comprehend, and my family and I are forever grateful to you and the other families who have lost loved ones in order to protect our freedoms.

We pray for God to comfort you, we pray for time to allow you to recall more and more precious memories and for you to know we feel your son is our hero forever and ever.

God Bless You.

On this day when you honored and buried your son, our family welcomed a new baby boy. Perhaps some of your son's spirit will live in the new child. Thank you for your sacrifice and we thank and bless your son for giving his all. We pray that your son's gift to America will keep the new little one from having to die in a far away land. We celebrate two lives today.......one that has just begun and one that ended too soon. The Holmes and Rausch families, Citrus Co., FL

All ways proud of our fighting men

Children are not supposed to leave this earth before their parents. As the mother of a son who also left too early, I grieve with you on your loss. He will always be remembered.

Our hearts and our prayers go out to you in the loss of your son, Robert. He's a hero and we are so appreciative of his service to this country.
Mildred & Wilson Martin

God Bless Robert and his family. So sorry for your loss. May our hero rest in peace.

We thank you for the greatest sacrifice of all.Because of brave men like you we can live our lives in a free country. GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL.

I MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN HIM, BUT I KNOW OF THE BRAVE SACRIFICE, HE AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE BEEN DEALT. I WANT TO THANK HIM AND YOU FOR HIS HEROISM. MY LITTLE BROTHER IS ALSO SERVING OUR COUNTRY, I FEEL YOUR PAIN. MAY GOD BLESS YOUR HEART WITH PEACE, AND BLESS HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS STILL FIGHTING FOR HIS BELIEFS. THANK YOU AGAIN, MY SINCERE CONDOLANCES ON YOUR LOSS.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL DURING THIS TIME OF SORROW

We would like to express our sorrow in the Lost of Your One Sgt. Robert A. Surber.

We love you and we appericate what you done for us.

My prayers go out to the family in this time of mourning. My son is also in the armed forces and it pains me everytime I hear about yet another young man sacrificing all for his country. God Bless!
A Soldiers Mother.

We mourn with the family and community for the loss of a truly brave young hero. God Bless You.

I have known the Surber family for more than 20 years, practically one of the family. My love was for his aunt, who also went to her demise prematurely. Perhaps she is waiting with open arms to receive him.
This family has given much to the protection of this country. Herbert his uncle, another hero during Viet Nam and others who have stood tall when their duty called. My heart and prayers are with them during this crushing realization he won't be smiling to their face, but gone he is not, just waiting on the sideline.
To Allen and Carrie, Ollie, sisters, aunts, uncles and all of the family, my deepest sympathies. God will see you through.

"Home At Last"

Alas we watch our comrade approach
Knowing well the expense war has encroached.
The vibrant flag hugging the horse drawn coffin
Are we listening or just standing gawking
With clopping hoof on the road to rest
We are watching one of the best
Why is it Lord we must endure the pain
You know it's a world insane
But here is heroism in all it's glory
Stand up drink in the taste of gory
This man stood for our greatest freedoms
Do not forget we must rid the demons
Alas oh lord, please cease this Malay
ease the pain and suffering of this day.
Now he rests no more combat
There is no shame only conquest.


God bless you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Surber family. Bobby, I remember you as a little squirt on the bus, Jen's lttle brother. I never thought I'd be so proud of you for defending our country. God Bless you Bobby, and thank you!!

I thought I saw his face today, in the sparkle of the sun.
And then I heard the angels say,"His work on earth is done".

I thought I heard his voice today, then laugh his hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angels say, "There's peace dear one at last".

I thought I felt his touch today, in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angels say, "His spirit never dies".

I thought I saw my broken heart, in the cresent of the moon.
And then I heard the angels say, "The Lord is coming soon".

I thought that you had left me, for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angels say, "He left you with his love".

I thought that I would miss you so, and never find my way.
And then I heard the angels say, "He is with you everyday".


The families of the military personnel make a great sacrifice as well. They give up the time with their loved one in order for them to protect our country. So I'm saying thank you to the family for their sacrifice along with his. God bless you.

Battle...Its been tough. But I wanted to thank you for looking out for me and being apart of my life and hope you knew that I had your back too Roomie.
I still remember helping you move out of your old Apt and it was the last boxes you had. It was late and driving back to the new Apt. I told you that It would look funny if we were pulled over because in the front of the cab was two baseball bats, two of your swords, and some rope and all we needed was skii mask.
I had some good times with you. Every Sunday at Hooters and Snowboarding at Crystal Mnt. You caught on to it quick. No leasson at all.
Everything was Florida to you. A Dolphin fan, FSU and of course Florida OJ no pulp. My fav band, you use to tell me, you know there are from Florida right.
I didn't know how you did it but you use to stay up late at nite playing WOW and only going on two hours of sleep. but always made it to work. I think you were running on Sugar; Dr Pepper and candy.
Buddy I am going to miss you. And it hurts bro. But I am so glad to know you and have you as a Roomie.
Rest in peace Sgt Surber
Battle(I know you would laugh at that)But you were right on that part. RIP

I went to school and graduated with Bobby. He was such a quiet, nice guy. I am truly sorry for his family and I wish my condolences to you all...

Subrer,
I don't know were to start I miss you with all of my heart. I think about the long nights we had in Iraq staying up all night to listing to music. Or the time me you and pat made potato guns and shot them off your deck. all the bands we would go to see in Seattle or the time you came to Utah to with pat on your trip home. All you did was tell me how stupid Utah was and that I needed to move to FL. when you got out. Rob I have had allot of friends in my life but your are not a friend, I really thought of you as family..... I'm so lost right now I feel I let you down buy leaving the army the day I left your house in Puyallup to go drive home I had to fight back the tiers because I have never had anyone in my life that I could count on like I did you. And don't you worry rob I will be driving the go carts for you buddy...

To Surbers family,
I am so sorry for your loss I know what a grate person rob was I served with him on his first tour in Iraq and there is no way I would have made it with out him.

From on CHS graduate turned soldier to another.... Thank you for serving to keep my children free! You were always such a nice guy in school. May GOD be with your family at this time.

He is Only Away~
In your thoughts and your heart you are always together, never apart; In your sorrow, remember~ he's only away... though he may not be with you, the memories stay... and in time, when the hurt isn't too much to bear, whenever you look in your heart; he'll be there.
