So sorry to read this I am sending prayers and thoughts during this difficult time

Skeeter, Wendy, Mike and MacMillan Family,
We are so sorry to read of Robbie's passing. Robbie was always a nice young man and very fun loving. You could tell he was a true MacMillan following in his dad's, and grandfathers foot steps. All though we hadn't seen Robbie in years his obituary says it all. Our heart aches for all of you and may you fine comfort in fond memories at such this difficult time. God Bless!

Dear cousin, although we never met in person we shared love of family, caring, laughter, and concern for each other through Facebok and Messenger. You helped me continue enjoying life to its fullest. I watched you and your girls go through good times and bad. We enjoyed the announcement of your fiancé and how well things were going for all of you. As you travel to your Heavenly home don't forget to say hello to your Aunt Judy. She and my dad thought a great deal of you. Your laughter...

Losing a cousin is incredibly hard but I can’t begin to imagine the depth of pain my aunt, uncle, my cousin, his daughters, and his fiancée are going through. My heart breaks for all of them.He wasn’t just family he was a part of our memories, our laughter, our roots. This loss feels unreal, and the weight of it is heavy. I wish I had the words to take away even a fraction of the sorrow they’re feeling right now.To my aunt and uncle, my cousin Michael, his daughters, and his fiancée Melissa I...

Robbie, its Bicey i don't have the words buddy I just spoke to you a few days before but I promise you I will carry all the memories we made together fishing working together or just hanging out. Your girls will always be in ny thoughts and they need anything Uncle Steve is around. Rest Easy brother have one for me. LOVE YA BUDDY

I am so sorry for your precious loss i can’t even imagine your heavy hearts love and prayers.

Robbie was a cousin that loved to have fun. Growing up we would play with match box cars and help grandma with gardening and the yard. He taught me how to swim when we were younger. We always had lots of fun together when I would come up for the summer.
Even though life got in the way as we grew up, I love him dearly and will miss him a lot.

To my aunt and uncle , I am sorry for your loss.
