Rob’s family and friends are in our prayers! Such a sad thing to see, we wondered why we weren’t hearing from rob since February , to find out this is why is just heartbreaking.. He was a great friend to my husband and myself and not to mention was awesome with our 2 kids!! And was always there and offering to lend a hand when needed.. I could go on and on about days he was one of the only friends there to lend a hand and wanted nothing in return and how he was just an all around “good friend” and “great guy”.. we did only know him since 2017 when he met my husband working at b&b lumber , but we had a lot of great times in that small amount of time! If any of his family needs anything dont hesitate to contact us.. rip rob!!! You’ll be greatly missed!!
