Ive had many many pleasant times with Rob. We shared hiking , backpacking , fishing and family get togethers over the years. It was so nice to spend time with Rob and Barb in Wyoming last month. It brought back many happy memories. My condolences to Barb and the entire Michiels clan. Rob was a great guy and I will miss him dearly.

Most of my memories with the Michiel's family took place growing up. Robert's mom Aunt Jean and my mom Geri Ovyn were sisters and we spent our childhood playing and having fun. The families were always together. He was the baby and I was already 12 when he was born. I remember we had to take turns holding him, he was very special to us. It's hard to understand why people are taken from us so young. I am so sorry for your loss Barb & the Michiel's family.

I have so many memories of Robert. I feel blessed that we are cousins. Over the past several years, Rob became closer with Tom and I and called and visited when he could. Tom and Rob enjoyed spending time together learning about wildlife/nature and becoming an expert Steward of the land. We will miss him terribly. Our heartfelt love and prayers to Barb as our entire Michiels' clan grieves his passing.

Robbie was always so kind to everyone around him. He was so quiet, but could make you laugh with his witty humor. We always had fun, riding and camping out; back in the day with our circle of friends. It's been a long time since I've seen him or Barb. He was always talked about very fondly in conversations with my kids. So sorry for this tragic loss. My prayers to family, friends and loved ones suffering. He will be dearly missed.
