Robert was a big hearted individual who loved and who was passionate about making sure everyone was happy; taken care of and doing their best. He would most definitely give his last to help if need be. His most treasured assets if you asked him, would be his grandkids. They were the beat in his huge heart! Nothing made him happier. In his final days, what made him the most proud and encouraged; was his granddaughter Maliyah getting her WPRA- Women's Professional Rodeo card at age 12. Watching her every performance via Live Stream was a priority; ALWAYS the first to join! He would always tell her, "This of all in my life, makes me the PROUDEST!" He even admitted he was a much bigger fan of hers, then his "Dallas Cowboys" which we knew he was die hard for!!
