Gary & family,
My heart aches for you with this tremendous loss. If there were a way I could help ease the pain I certainly would. Rest assured, your family is sending peace and calm and wrapping their loving arms around you.
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Thank all of you, who have made entries in here sharing your thoughts. I know Rob appreciates it. Any pictures you could post on here would be great because, I have stage 4 cancer and will be unable to attend his funeral. I am bed ridden. Rob always tried to think of others first and I love and miss him so much. my heart is crumbled over him passing. My Preacher is saying his goodbye's for me and I know his cousin Richie is saying loving goodbye's too. My cancer is setting in fast so I know I will see him soon. He always looked out for me as I looked out for him. The day he died, we made plans to see each other, then he was gone......I really don't understand what happened. I am just an empty shell waiting to see him, so, like I say, any pictures would be great. God Bless You All!

To the Family of Rob Poteet. I myself and my family have not seen any of you in a long time but I would like to express my extreme condolences to Gary and Brad for the loss of Rob. I know that it may not mean anything but I personally would liked to have know you longer that I did, and have a deep sadness in my soul for this when i heard.

No matter what I love, and miss you,

I am so sorry Brad, and family, the loss is epic and not something you can comprehend unless you have experienced the loss of a sibling/child.

Death, be not proud

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
