In Loving Memory of Robert Yankee

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Robert (Rob) Yankee, a

beloved father, brother, friend, son, and the life of every room he walked into.

Rob had a personality bigger than life and a heart to match. He was the proud founder and

owner of American Rescreening, a business he built from the ground up with his trademark

hustle, charm, and determination. He treated every client like a neighbor and every job like it

mattered.. because to him, it always did.

He was proud of what he built, and he had every reason to be. But it didn't always come easy.

He faced his share of struggles and personal battles along the way. He overcame demons that

tried to hold him back and instead of letting them define him, he used those hard-earned

lessons to lift others up. He knew what it was like to be in a tough spot, and that's part of what

made him so generous.

Outside of work, Rob had a big love for life. He was happiest out on the water, riding side-by-

sides through the mud, or trying his luck on the casino slots or black jack tables.

If you knew Rob, you knew he had "top-of-the-line" taste. Whether it was the priciest item on the

menu or the nicest ride in the lot, he never settled for anything less than the best.

He enjoyed taking trips with family and friends. Time filled with sun, laughter, good food, and

memories that will live on forever. Those trips weren't just vacations; they were reminders of

what mattered most to him: family, fun, and being together.

Still, it was his connection to people that made him unforgettable. Whether it was a close friend,

a total stranger, or someone in the middle of a tough season, he had a way of making people

feel seen, heard, and supported. Many would say he helped them through their hardest

moments and he did it all without ever asking for anything in return.

And while he loved a good time, the greatest joy in his life was being a father. His daughter was

his world. She was his reason, his pride, and the light in his eyes. Everything he did-every

work day, every decision, every dream-was rooted in his love for her.

Rob leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, generosity, and grit. He made an everlasting

impact on those around him.. His countless friends, family members, and clients whose lives

were better because he was in them.

We will miss his laughter, his loyalty, and his larger-than-life spirit every single day. But we will

carry his memory forward by living a little louder, loving a little deeper, and helping others.. just

like he always did.
