Bobby was an integral part of my youth - his presence and friendship help create who I am, and as such he will always be a part of me.

Bobby - thank you...Ronnie

My memory of Bobby was from high school and included: Bobby, Donna Williams, Mike Wickham, Frank Braman, and Ronnie Nunn. We would ride around in my car singing Elton John songs. Bobby had the most incredible smile and a zest for life! I can tell from these expressions that he made a wonderful impact on many lives.

Two memorys of Bobby, in alexander graham bell jr high he held the school record for rope climbing, wirey but strong. And at the age of 13 we started lifting weights for football with Dan Howard (Mr. Universe) at the University of Tulsa, Bobby was always able to dig deep and do one more rep somehow, someway. He was a very determined person. Good times, Good friend.

I went to junior high with Bobby, and he always made us laugh. He was so friendly and outgoing, and everyone loved him. My sympathies are with his family and friends.

Brent Gaddy was a person that loved and lived life. He was a caring loving person. I will never forget the wonderful time we had when he came to stay with Dan and me here in Oklahoma. What a beautiful person he was. The relationship that Dan and Brent had was very special. They took care of each other throughout life in their own special way. Brent was always kind to me and has a special place in my heart. The love that these brothers had here on earth was great. In a world of judgement - there was never judgement between the two. Never a cross word has passed through this relationship.

Brent your brother and sister in Tulsa send our love and know that even though you are not here on Earth with us you are still with us. Keep our love close!

We couldn't have existed in Connecticut if we didn't have Brent as our neighbor. We became family and he will always remain a part of our lives. We miss him so -- so many wonderful times....

Brent meant the world to me, and to my family. Words cannot express our grief at his passing, nor can they encompass the enormity of the gift he gave, sharing his life with us. His zest for living, his joy in all he did, his eternal kindness will be remembered with love, and hopefully passed forward as we share his story with those we encounter.
I pray my life is such that he always remains proud of me...

Bobby & I went to Lindburgh Elementary. I remember him being the 1st boy who ever kissed me; granted, it was a quick peck on the lips behind the stage curtain,but that was Bobby; always spontaneous and energetic! He was such a friendly, outgoing, & fun loving guy w/ an incredible personality! Though I hadn't seen or heard from him in all these years, I still have moments where he comes to mind. Gone maybe, but never forgotten! Peace be with you Bobby.

Our family trip to visit my cousins and family in Tulsa will always remain fond memories, I was 7 or 8 & Cousin Bobby was around 10 .

Bobby and a friend, Brad, had come to visit my family in the San Fernando Valley in one of the first Honda cars made, it was small, but not so small that my cousin wouldn't take my little brother and I to Disneyland. Little did my Cousin Bobby & Brad know that keeping an eye on two eleven and thirteen year old kids with no less than an early onset of a raging ADD disorder would lead to a day filled with horror and hours searching for my little brother. That was a conversation Cousin Bobby didn't want to have with my Mom. Through his sheer diligence and determination Chris was found with Snow White and some of her girlfriends and the day was saved.

Bobby's joy for life will live forever in the hearts of those of us who were fortunate enough to be his classmates and friends. Bobby made school and life entertaining for all of us, and his presence on Earth will be missed greatly. How truly blessed are those who knew this sweet, kind, funny and thoughtful man. I am thankful that God shared him with us for these years.
