Robert and Sadie Easley,Becky, Rhonda and children. I had the honor and pleasure of meeting this lovely family more than 15years ago. We shared many conversations with all of you.We had the business next door to you on Campbell Road and you became good friends to us.

I would like to tell you that I now live in Tomball and work with mutual acquaintance of Tiger's.I was shock to hear that his friend who passed was someone I knew and had lost touch with for many years, but am so glad to know that Tiger is in Heaven with his eternity Father. My prayers are with each and everyone of you. God Bless, Nova Parvin

Bob, Sadie, Becky, Rhonda, and children:



I was saddened to hear news today of Tiger not being with us on this old Earth any longer. But I do rejoice that he is in Heaven, seeing His (and our) Saviour face to face!! I praise God that Bob and Sadie had a son called "Tiger"! That they raised him to be a man of God...a man of character and morals. I praise God that Becky was able to share her life with a special brother. I know they were close. Rhonda, you and the children have been blessed to have Tiger as a part of your lives for many years. He'll be very deeply missed! Our hearts go out to all of you during this difficult time and the time yet to come. But Praise God, we'll be seeing Tiger one day soon ourselves!



Praising God for the life Tiger lived and that he "Finished Well!!". Praying for all of you and lifting you up to our understanding, loving Father!

Our deepest sympathy to Rhonda and children, Bob, Sadie and Becky. Karen H. informed us of Tigers illness earlier this year. We were saddened to hear about his cancer. I enjoyed reading about Tiger's life through all of the updates. To hear that he was so fired up for our Lord and to hear how he shared his faith with so many people was AWESOME. Your family will be in our prayers. Our love goes out to you.

Mr. & Mrs. Easley, I just found out about "Tiger" and wish I could have been there yesterday. I did enjoy working with all of you on the shopping center in Montgomery. He will always be remembered by me as easy to work with and a smile evertime. Take care and God bless the family.

I feel forunate to have known Mr. Easley. When he taught me in Sunday School I learned so much. I was praying for you all during his hard time and I will keep on praying. He was a person who helped turn my life around and I will never foreget him. I am sorry that this happened and if Peyton ever needs to talk he can come to me in school or whatever. Mr. Easley made a great impact in this world and I know God is going to use this in some way. I will be praying for you and I am sorry.

Sadie & Robert I didn't have the pleasure of knowing your son but remembering the two of you at Reagan High School years ago I can just imagine how wonderful your son must have been. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Dear Ones, While Mr. Easley was undergoing treatment at Methodist Hospital, each and every member of the Easley family I met was a delightful blessing. You'd have thought "Tiger" was one of the staff - the way he talked with every patient and family member sitting in the waiting room, the way he hugged them, loved them, helped, and encouraged them. Rhonda, I'll always treasure the memory of that great love you and your brother shared. I remember you telling me about the fabulous birthday meal you enjoyed with him! Many times I've shared with other patients how Mr. Easley's heart reached out one day to help another of our patients who had a very urgent need. Robert called his wife, who was able to accomplish what was necessary to fill the need. What a man and what a family! It's a privilege to know you.

Love, Prayers, and Tears

I consider it an honor and privilege to have known Tiger. His infectious sense of humor just made people want to be around him. I am thankful I did get to see him before he went home. It is amazing how many people he touched as evidenced on here and his visitors over the past few weeks. He was an amazing man that has left an amazing legacy which we all admire and will remember forever. I am sure as soon as he reached heaven and the words were spoken "Welcome Home", he had all of heaven laughing. Would we expect anything less from Tiger? Tiger you will be greatly missed. But I know I will see you again someday and look forward to it.



Rhonda, we are and will continue to pray for you and the kids.

I feel so honored to have the opportunity to write to Robert's family. I knew him when I was 12 -15 years old and was going to Landrum Junior High. Even then, so many years ago, I knew that Robert was a good guy, a Christian teenager. We were in many classes together and he was always kind, fun, and very intelligent.



That has been so many years ago and yet the other day I was just visiting the Spring Branch High website (something that I have never done before in 30 years) and read about Robert.

It was saddened to hear that he had left you but I felt glad to hear that your wonderful father, son, and husband affected so many people's lives. I am a Christian too and it encouraged me live the way that he did; to surrender every

day to Christ.

I believe that God guided me to read that message so that I could tell others about how Robert lived his life and how he taught us all how to die. I am excited to see him again in heaven. May God comfort in his arms until you see him again, Brenda Pyle

To all of the family loved by Tiger...Our hearts go out to you and our prayers are lifted on your behalf during this difficult time. Tiger was "one-of-a-kind," and anyone who ever met him will never forget the joy he found in life and in His Lord. God bless you with comfort and peace.

Dear Becky, Sadie, Bob, Rhonda and Children,



I was soooo young when I met Tiger. He was an early example to me of a gutsy Christian. He had the charisma to make it in any walk of life, but he chose the narrow walk. Now, one of us has finally made it! He's where we all are aimed for. I will always think of him as a beacon for the place he now resides. Now eternity is warned. A brigade of saints he has influenced will one day follow Tiger Easley.



Blessings,



Cindy, John, Laura and Julia Gabriel

When one goes home to be with the Lord, their pains and sorrows are over. It is left to the loved ones to find the peace and comfort that only God can give, and to know that we shall see him again. We are praying for your family, that this peace will come quickly by the love of God.

"Tiger" was an exceptional young man. A really

well mannered and kind person. I'm sure he

blessed the lives of all who knew him. God

surely has made a special place for him.

Hello. My name is Sue Seely. I am an alumni of Spring Branch High School and had received word of Tiger's death through some mutual friends. I never knew Tiger personally; however, my older siblings did (i graduated in '79). I lived in Tomball (taught in Klein) and am sorry I wasn't able to know that Tiger lived so close. My thoughts are with his family during this trying time.

Being the reunion coordinator of my class, I have forwarded Tiger's info to my classmates.

Our deepest sympathy to Tiger's wife, Rhonda, and children Peyton, Lacey, and Tenner; and to his Mom and Dad, Sadie and Bob, and his sister Becky.



We were saddened to read this morning in the Chronicle of his passing.



It's a comfort to know he was born again at the age of 9 and is now in Heaven.

Well done, good and faithful servant, as you enter into your rest. We look forward to rejoicing with you again someday.
