Robert Anthony Slagle

Robert Slagle was born in Ibague, Colombia, on September 27, 1987, and became part of the Slagle family in 1988 in Juneau, Alaska. Robert was bright and curious during his Juneau school years. He loved soccer and played from kindergarten through high school. He was fiercely loyal to his teammates and friends.

Skateboarding and rapping were among his passions. It tied in with his quirky sense of humor and quick smile.
