Eulogy for
Robert Joseph Melon
December 1, 1967 - November 21, 2016
Written by John Peter Miller
I shouldn't be standing here. Rob should be the one giving my eulogy, but life and death never happen the way we would expect. And Rob has left us at the age of 48, just 10 days before his birthday. He was my best friend, my lover, and life partner for the last 15 years.
Rob was a quiet person. He rarely spoke loudly, and often told me to keep my voice down, as I'm loud. He had the kindest soul of anyone I have known, and although I will never know why he loved me, I will be forever grateful that Rob did love me and was a part of my life.
We travelled to many places together, as travel was Rob's greatest passion. His greatest joy was to go to the airport and leave for parts unknown. There were so many places he still wanted to see, but I told him to wait a few years, so we could save up and travel when I retired. In hindsight, I shouldn't have waited, as now we will never have the chance to tour the world together. My fondest memories of Rob were traveling with him and sharing the experience.
Rob had a sweet tooth and loved shopping for his favorite candies. He was a diabetic, and although he loved the sweets, he would limit himself, and save some for later. He also loved drinking margaritas. During one cruise, he ordered his first frozen margarita, just because the glass looked so fancy, and from then on, it was his favorite drink.
Rob loved watching his favorite TV shows, and often I would sit with him, so we could watch together. He was an voracious reader, and read numerous books and magazines, as well as sitting at the computer for hours, reading his favorite travel blogs. He had been a travel agent and loved everything about air travel.
Rob also loved his music. His favorite music was from the 1980's though he did also enjoy newer songs. He listened to artists like Annie Lennox, Madonna, Britany, Hazel Dean, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and so many more. He loved collecting CDs and amassed a huge collection of pop music. I still remember the times I would hear music pounding in his bedroom and I would sneak a peek, and watch him dance to his favorite songs, though officially, he never liked dancing.
I feel saddened that Rob has left us, so suddenly, and at such an early age. But I have come to realize since Rob has passed, God gave us the gift of spending time together in Rob's final days. We were able to tell each other how much we were still in love, and we both cried together. Most importantly, God gave Rob the time to make peace with Him.
I think what could have been, and what we could have done, and I cry. But I have come to accept Rob's passing, and even though I am upset, I really feel Rob is in a better place.
Rob has now embarked on the greatest journey of all, and I have prayed that one day, God willing, that we will reunite in love, and we can continue our relationship, everlasting.
