My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Robbie.
Such a beautiful person and so fun to be around!
May God provide a special peace and comfort to his mom, sisters, children and family alike during this difficult time.
I hope you find solace in the many great memories shared with Robbie I love you all!
Rest in peace cousin.

I met Rob during my freshman year at ODU in 1991. He was the type of person you loved to see coming; you knew you were about to have a great laugh with a wonderful person. Rest in power my friend.

I only had the privilege of meeting Rob this year, as we coached against one another in AAU basketball in N. Virginia. But our games against each other, and our conversations afterward were always memorable. His voice could fill an entire gym, and his personality and enthusiam were infectious. He knew how to touch the lives of the young men he coached in such a positive way. Rest easy my guy!!

My heart hurts I’ve known Robert since Jr. High. First time we met we were opponents on the basketball court, but our rivalry soon turned into true friendship and brotherhood! We spent so much time together, and I honestly thought of him as a big brother! I cannot express how much I looked up to him! Robert legitimately had an impact on the man I would become, and for that, I will forever be truly grateful!

Though time and the Navy moved me away from VA, there has seldom been a...

"Robbie" ...big brother, protector, comedian, savior, but most of all FRIEND. You had a heart bigger than your body. You will truly be missed! Sending prayers to Mama Bernadette, Tonja, and Hazel. May God send you peace that surpasses all understanding, and you find comfort and strength during this difficult time. Love you all.

Yes, gone too soon. Rob was a person full of love and laughter. Dedicated his time here with his family and other young people. I remember meeting him in high school and talking about his future aspirations. I know he never met a stranger. When I saw him in his adult life after years, still smiling. My condolences to his Mom, sisters,and children. Keep the faith. Always,

Dear Ms. Bernadette, Tonja, and Hazel,
Please accept my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy in the loss of Robert. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this difficult time. May God surround you with comfort, strength, and peace in the days ahead, and may the memories you shared bring light to your hearts when the moments feel heavy.
If there is anything you need or anything we can do to support you, please know that we are here.

With heartfelt condolences.

We were all just talking about all the great memories growing up next door. The days when Disco tried to intimidate everybody with all that barking and chasing all of us around. “Robbie” you will be missed. Bernadette, Tonya, and Hazel - You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord strengthen and comfort you.

My deepest condolences to the family. I’m thinking of you all and sending prayers for peace, comfort and God’s grace. Rob and I grew up together and I will always cherish those sweet memories. You were such a light Robert. You will be missed.
