Paying tribute to Robbie

Friends and Family,

Robbie battled most of his life with addiction and lost his fight on October 6, 2020 at the young age of 39.  Although he struggled, he was a great person, friend, and brother. He will be missed greatly. 

Unfortunately, he didn’t have any of his final expenses in order so we are asking for any support here to honor him the way he deserves to be.

We are asking anyone that would like to make a donation to our brother Robbie’s final expenses to please do so here, in lieu of flowers.

Final arrangements will be shared with immediate family at a later time. 

Thank you for your love and support,

 John, Jay and Terri

Dear drugs,

I've never touched, tasted, or craved you,
But I know you.

I've watched my brother
Deteriorate in search of you,
Praying for the oblivion that follows,
Jumping through obstacles of deceit,
Torture and heartbreak
For one moment of relief,
One moment of silence,
One moment of peace.

I've never flirted, danced, or played with you,
But I know you.

I've watched my brother
Stalk, hide, and run from you, all at the same time,
Not wanting to find you
But needing to
For one moment of clarity,
One moment to breathe,
One moment to escape.

I've never listened to your promises, whispers, or songs,
But I know you.

I've heard you in his screams,
Haunting his dreams.
He just wanted to be free,
But he was always getting pulled by you.

I've never touched, tasted, or craved you,
But oh,
Do I know you!

And now you've taken my brother and I hate u!
