Robin like me is the son of a Warrior. He was honest, compassionate, giving, thoughtful, and my friend. I am in deep pain as he came a long way to honor my father as you all can see in the link below. I wish I could have done the same for him.

I am heartbroken once again because I wanted so much to be with Robin and honor this great man. On June 26th our home burnt and is a total loss. Unfortunately I can not personally attend as we are still trying to put our lives back together a day at a time piece by piece. I loved Robins style. He lifted me up and I sent him home with avocados from his dads friends home where we are re-locating. Our prayers and thoughts go out to this great man and all his wonderful family.
Our deepest condolences to all of the Mendez Family and may God protect and guide you in this time of need and always.

Rob was a favorite student of mine at Duffy Elementary School. The last time I saw him he was on his way out the door to enjoy being with a friend. He always had a smile and loved and cherished his family. My deepest sympathy to Rob's family. Prayers that God's love will ease your sorrow.

God needed you on his team there in Heaven, so He called you home. While my heart and the hearts of so many others are breaking right now because we miss you so much, we are forever grateful for having your incredible spirit and energy touch our lives. A personal note of thanks also for the Arizona Cardinals special signs from Heaven. Of course they also continued your unique and clever style! Team Rob continues to cheer for you here and celebrates your triumph now in the biggest league ever! I will certainly keep in mind that love never dies.
