Oh Bobby – I knew it was always a risk having cancer and going through all the studies and various treatments. I hadn’t considered it actually being a reality you not being here! I love you bro. We’ve shared, laughs, tears, blood, and sweat. You were my brother and I will never forget the moments we shared. You have my word to that I will always do my best to support your family to the best of my ability. I’m grateful for your friendship, mentorship, and yearly commitment in making yourself better in the realm of wellness. Thank you so much, go Cowboys!
May God bless his family,rest in peace Bobby.
I didn’t know Bobby long, but it did not take long to know Bobby was a very special person and great guy, on top of being a great son, brother, husband, father, uncle, friend, neighbor, competitor, race car driver, businessman and so much more! We met on the Pickle Ball Court at Lifetime and although he was newer to the game, he competed like a champion and got real good, real fast. In between games we got to talk and the more I learned the more Bobby’s friendly, kind and considerate demeanor was revealed. When I learned of his illness, I was shocked, he looked great, played great, and his attitude was always bright and positive! The world will be a different place without him. Sending prayers and well wishes to you Loree, Makenzie, Shyanne, Austin, family, and loved ones.
