Rob was born July 3, 1962, to Robert and Nancy (Metcalf) Davie in Mount Vernon, WA. When he was five years old, his beloved sister, Lori joined the family. As a child, Robbie was Lori's protector. He started playing baseball in Little League when he was seven and continued playing pitcher or shortstop through adulthood when he coached varsity baseball locally and in California. Rob taught many life lessons on the field, encouraging sportsman-like conduct and helping each player to do his best, while letting "his boys" know the value of a good education.

Through college, Rob worked in retail, fished in Alaska, and worked at the Sedro-Woolley Lumber Yard. Other employment Rob had, was as a personal trainer and as a bank clerk. Most of Rob's professional career was spent teaching and investing in his students, especially those who were at high risk. Many students received diplomas that were made achievable through Rob's dedication. His students all meant a lot to him.

During summer vacations, Rob enjoyed activities with his nieces and nephew. Rob was a loving uncle. Antique cars and going to car shows also brought Rob enjoyment. Rob liked dogs. In his last years, Duke was his loving companion. Rob treasured life-long friendships with his close classmates who were with him until the end.

Rob was a longtime Seventh-day Adventist and carried out his responsibilities as a deacon even throughout his illness. He loved his small group Bible study and grew in his faith. Rob was a loyal and devoted friend, brother, uncle, son, and church member. He is profoundly missed by his mother, Nancy (Metcalf) Davie; sister, Laura Beuse; brother-in-law, Jeff Beuse; nieces, Kilee (Brandon) Samora and Kassidee (Cody) McKnight; nephew, Kyle Beuse; great-niece, Paityn Samora; great-nephew, Grayson Samora; aunts, Frances (Terry) Pitt, Linda (Joe) Lindholm, JoAnne (Roy) Rathvon and Elena (Mark) Harp.
