Rob loved and lived life to the fullest. He was the best crawfish boiler and was never afraid to add “whatever” to the pot. He was very talented and a hard worker, and he never backed down in the face of adversity. He enjoyed frequent trips to New Orleans andembraced all the city had to offer, from small localbusinesses, a parade or two, or just spending the day exploring something new and different. He loved his family and friends and would try his best to do anything he could to help those who needed him. Able to fix just about anything and always piddling with his “toys,” Rob never met a set of speakers he didn’t like and could often be found switching out something in some car or truck or anything else mechanical.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date yet to be determined. The family wishes to thank everyone who has reached out and for the continued support. We know Rob is at peace and with his PawPaw and his Granny whom he loved so much.
