I extend my deepest sorrows to the family. My wife and I were one of Robert's instructors at ATA in Homewood, some years ago. Robert helped us out in many classes, and was always a joy to be around. He was one of the hardest working kids I have ever been around, and simply put, one of the most talented. My kids loved hanging out with him, and we just loved his personality. This is a huge loss for this world. May he rest in peace, and someday we shall see him again.

I am very saddened to hear about your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I taught Robert at the Taekwondo school, and loved every minute of his company. He was a wonderful young man, who will be deeply missed.

WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY,
I KNOW RIGHT NOW THE PAIN FEELS UNBAREABLE BUT REMEMBER "THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKEN HEARTED; HE RESCUES THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT." SO DON'T KEEP THE SORROW INSIDE YOUR HEARTS, PUT EVERYTHING INTO THE HANDS OF GOD.

My deepest sympathy goes to your family. Robert was one of my "adopted" sons. He grew up with my son "DeShawn", his cousin "Jimmy" and his best friend "Kofi". The last time I saw Robert, he helped me hang some blinds in my front window. He sat down and had lunch with me and my mom. We talked about how we knew he would grow up and become a Power Ranger. He was so talented and gifted. I truly hope you're at piece Robert. I will always, always have you in my heart...

I would like to extend my condolences to the Banks Family. I met Robert when I was in sixth grade at Parker Jr. High and also we took Tae Kwondo together. We became close friends and we used to talk for hours about any and everything and even though we didn't always keep in contact with each other I never forgot him. I will always remember how talented he was and I'll also remember his smile. I will keep your family in my prayers.
Love,
Asia D.
