Bob was my best friend in the whole world. He never judged me or made fun of me, never, not even once in his entire life. I never had one argument with this great man in my entire friendship with him. He always had my back since the day i met him in the 3rd grade. I remember one day after football practice a boy named Lance picked a fight with me. While everyone was waiting to see me get beat up, Bob came out of know where and grabbed Lance off of me. Since that day i knew how special Bob was and how much he meant to me. Bob protected me mentally and physically from harm. He always gave me his ear when i needed to talk, he never interrupted me. He always was in good spirits, always smiling. Every person i have ever introduced to Bob fell in love with him instantly. He mastered anything he wanted to. I remember Bob taking a few guitar lessons and mastering the guitar like it was nothing to him. He could play Hotel California perfectly within two weeks of picking up the guitar. Bob mastered Thai Boxing in two weeks like it was nothing to him. He was a great wake boarder too. He was the best story teller i have ever heard. He was the only one who could make me laugh hard enough to pee my pants. He had an attention to detail i have never seen before. He loved life, he loved his family and friends with all his heart. He never expected anything from anyone in return for his love. Every good experience i have had in life was with this great man. I could talk to him about anything for hours, i could call him at 3 am on a work night and he would pick up. Bob was the only person who trusted me, and i trusted him with my soul. We drove 800 miles up the PCH highway together in California, It was like a dream, i felt like i was in heaven when i was with him. Every experience with him was surreal and we laughed and talked about so much. We saw some of the greatest sunsets earth has to offer together. We talked about space and the milky way when we were kids for hours. He understood beauty and he understood the value of living a good life. He told me the thing that gave him the most fulfillment in life was to help other people see the light. He showed me the light, he was light. He was my brother, my best friend, he was light to everyone. I intend to live my life to the fullest like Bob showed me. I always told Bob how much i loved him while he was here and i cannot wait to pick up where we left off. I know he is watching over me from heaven, I miss you very much bro. Talk to you soon. Love, Ahsan Karim.

One of the many memories I have is his generosity. He flew us to Destin, Florida in July 2015 and he paid for the ocean front hotel room for all three nights because he really wanted to take me. He was a faithful, positive friend to me. I will always remember his humor too. I love you man. -Chad-

Honor, it was an honor to walk beside this great man his entire life. As my cousin and best friend, we shared so many great times together. As his older cousin he looked up to me, but there was a time that relationship changed and I looked up to him. What a loss for us all. I ask everyone this, please carry his light through your life. When things look grim thing about Bob and what he would do because you know he would smile and push through and somehow everything would be just fine. I have been reading what others have written and it speaks to the heart of this great man. Bob, what a gift to us all and I know that if I am lucky enough to make it to heaven you will be waiting on me. Words cannot describe how wonderful of a person Bob was, I guess you just had to know him. I love you always and I miss you greatly. Jordan (my daughter who was 3 at the time) says it best, "Don't worry Daddy Bob lives with Jesus now." Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, I will carry your light the best I can Brother. Love you.

I cannot believe this…I only just found out this evening. I met Bob at Prestonwood a few years ago, and he has the most kind spirit and kind eyes…he cared for people, and had true joy. I had literally just been thinking this past weekend that one time, he did something that most people would find simple, but to me, it meant so much, because it displayed something so many people don't show these days…consideration and care. I'm devastated for his precious family and closest friends…so thankful he is standing WHOLE and COMPLETE in The Presence of Jesus. My most sincere of prayers for y'all.

Bob was funny, kind, thoughtful, highly intelligent, and the most selfless guy I've ever had the honor of calling friend. When we met I was in the process of making some big business and personal decisions and Bob was planning on starting Kent Realty. He offered me solid, Christ minded advice (which I am so thankful I took) and I got to help him narrow down logos and figure out a phone tree and figure out the set up his home office. Looking back I didn't do much at all…but he made me feel like I was doing so much and that it was such a great help! He was so great at expressing his thoughts in a way that made you feel appreciated, respected, and cared for. He was like the brother I never had. When life threw me a curveball, Bob again was there for me offered the best and most solid advice…along with a LaCroix and ice cream sandwiches and the most rediculous movie marathons. It impossible to describe how incredibly encouraging he was to be around. And he loved Jesus. Everyone who knew Bob knew he loved the Lord with his whole heart. If it wasn't for Bob, I would have never gone on a second date with my now-husband..my soulmate. He reminded me that people tend to stick with what they know…and the reason I was feeling uneasy about my now-husband was because he was bringing me flowers and pursuing my heart as only a God-fearing man could. Bob ever so lovingly helped me to see what a fool I was for being scared of a man who was genuinely pursuing my heart with the best intentions. Every day I thank the Lord for Bob's wisdom and brotherly guidance…and that I was blessed with ears to hear that wisdom. It's painful to know that Bob is no longer walking this Earth. Hearing of his passing has been absolutely devastating. But I am very thankful knowing I will one day see my friend again when I go to meet Jesus. Fly high my friend. We miss you already!
