Robert was really an awesome guy. He is missed.Pancho Saucedo
Where do I begin, Robert and I became friends in 7th grade. We had most of our classes together which made it easy for us to always end up in detention at the end of the day. Trying to get through the week, so the weekends could be used to go to the theatre and hang out on the Old Court House steps.In High School so many fond memories of Robert, his love for his family, football, and wrestling and of course KISS. Fun travels to concerts and tournaments brought us long nights and a lot of laughs. Roberts implementing of the Robert B. end of the week Birthday fund contributed to everyone’s favorite places to party- Pipeline, China Town, and Copper Hills.
Robert was everyone’s friend and my best friend. He was also an usher in my wedding, while he kept the car running with a bottle of Jack in case we had to leave in a hurry.
My last good bye to Robert was a night at my house with plenty of smiles and laughs as I said I will see you soon, right before flying out to boot camp.
Robert’s friendship and the memories he created for a lot of us will be instilled in our hearts and will be greatly missed.
Always Your Bro

Robert was a great guy but then again if your reading this you already knew that, I remember that he would always bagg on me for getting dressed up as we know his daily attire was a concert shirt, blue jeans and tennis shoes. My last memory was a day we spent hunting rabbits behind his house then getting drunk later that evening on Jack Daniels which I have never drank since thanks to our brother Robert. He is greatly missed and always remembered.Joey Cruz

Robert was one of the funniest people I knew....I so remember him in my 7th grade math class with Mr Termaine and my Spanish class with Mr Marin (I remember Robert sitting int he back with Trenton, Andrew, amd Joey). What a bunch of goofs you guys were!Always had a smile on his face and was just a great person....

A great friend that was taken to soon.The 20th year just past and I still think about him on a regular basis. His sister Shanna reminds me weekly of all the pranks and jokes that he and we(Pancho,Joey,Weasel & Trevor)did. A friend,a buddy, and like a brother to the ones that were close to him. Rest in Peace my BUDDY!!!!!Halie Leetham (Garley)
I will always have him in my heart. We went to Noftsger Hill. I will never forget the Halloween he was Darth Vader and I towering over him Princess Leigha. Then there was the jr. high school dance that we were dancing at and I had to suddely offer him a tic tac;) Ellen Beydler was pissed that he was dancing with me not knowing that Robert and I were the best of friends in elementary school and that's all it could ever be. We were to much alike and I would always be "To Tall the Leatham(leathel) Weapon" in his eyes;) God I miss him everytime the Rams are playing and I hear a KISS song. The memories of him will never die.Always in my heart, soul and mind,

I remember going to Roberts house and his Dad making some pretty darn good taco's and how his room was a Kiss/Rams memorial! Being on the D-Line with Robert was most memorable. The guy was a good football player with a heart bigger than the world. I actually saw him cry at a football game when we lost 7 to 6 against Casa Grande! He got kicked out of the game for celebrating a quarterback sack!Alberta Tarango (Mims)
WOW. HARD TO BELIEVE HE'S GONE. HE WAS A REAL GOOD FRIEND! HE COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH & FEEL GOOD IN ANY SITUATION. HE IS TRULY MISSED. WE SHALL NEVER FORGET HIM. REST IN PEACE DEAR FRIEND.Jean Turney (Shaw)
I remember Robert all the way back to kindergarten at Noftsger Hill. My dad coached him in T-ball. He was an awesome person who was friendly to all who knew him. The last time I saw him was at his kick-ass graduation party! I think of him when I hear a KISS song or when I drive by his memorial on Hwy 60. Have faith: We will see him again one day!Richard Tellez
I just started on the website and seeing these pictures of Robert brings back a lot of memories. I remember the years we gave everthing we had on the wrestling mat for 4 years. The battles between him and I and also the fun times we had. I remeber all the times we'd be going at it and he would have to stop, to out his knee cap back in and we would just laugh about it. I remeber the day i was told he passed away and how broken hearted I was, to lose my good friend. Even now, when Im in Globe, I always stop by and say hello to him. I wont ever know why God took him so soon, but I do know why Robert brough many smiles and special moment to all of us. To my friend, you are still missed and loved
