I recently heard the news of Rob's passing and wanted to extend my heartfelt condolences. I was on a middle school soccer team with him at Collegiate. He was a couple of years behind us but good enough to play with the "older kids" and even good enough to be a co-captain of the team. I remember Rob as being very friendly, polite and a good sport. I am very sorry for your loss. Matthew 5:4

I am stunned and saddened to learn of Rob's passing. Rob mentored me at Collegiate and was a great Christian inspiration to us all there. He led me to attend my first Institute in Basic Life Principles seminar and was a role model of discipline and grace. I consider having known Rob to be a blessing from God. May God's peace be with you during this difficult time of sorrow. My prayers are with you all.
Warm regards,

Dear Brame Family,
My heart is so sad to hear your lives have encountered this incredible loss. Rob's smile still remains etched in my mind after these many years, for it's beauty and light. As our family has also walked this path, I am comforted in knowing that for you as well, each new day is supplied with God's special grace, to navigate both the joy of special memories with Rob and the ache it brings. I am grateful for the brief time we were able to walk with Rob and your...

Dear Brame family,
When Melissa Britton Raber called me to tell me about Rob's death, I was saddened deeply. I have been reminiscing about high school days when we were all together in youth group at St. Giles. Although I have not seen Rob for 20 years, I count those memories from our formative years as great ones. We were all seeking to know God as we stuggled through high school and the college decisions. I pray that you will know the peace of God even if you don't have...

Bob and Jane Brame & Family,
My prayers will continue to be with you now and in the future as you feel the loss of Rob. To refresh your memory, in Richmond I was a room-mate of Rob with Bob Surine who also died at too young of an age (to our understanding.) Nothing can truly be correct to say but to let you know others also share in your grief and pray for your peace and understanding that only God truly provides.
Love, Warren

Bob and Jane
Don Ward called me today to tell me of your son's death. I can only surmise what a shock this must be and I hurt for you. I'll try to get up to have a lunch in a few weeks to see you (my wife is have knee replacement in a week and I must travel to Detroit to see a cousin who just had serious cancer surgery.
I trust you are truly leaning on Jesus these days!
In the Lamb,
Don

Dear Brame Family,
I am an old friend of Rob's from Kingsway Community Church. We were very close and shared a lot of the same interests. I write this to tell you of what a great man of character that he was. As you know, he was very opinionated and did not hold back. I appreciated that so much. If I was veering from my Christian walk, he was quick to let me know. This is a huge loss for me. I can only imagine what he meant to you. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you as...
