We are heartbroken and reeling from the death of Bobby “Hobz” Fleeks.
Now we are asking his friends and family, the people who knew and loved him, as well as those who are just learning about him here, to help with the expenses of laying him to rest and supporting his beloved children as they learn to live with their Father’s absence.
Michelle needs our help to get past this challenging moment and guide her family through their grief. We are raising money to cover funeral costs and to help support Bobby’s children in their future education and athletic programs, which we know would be his greatest concern and top priority right now.
Robert M. Fleeks Sr, known as Bobby or “Hobz” to his closest friends and family, was born and raised in Seattle’s Central District, or the “CD”, by his grandparents and belonged to the Mt. Zion congregation. Bobby attended St. Therese elementary school, Eckstein Middle School and Garfield High School. He played sports as a youth and loved to watch boxing. However, baseball was his “real sport" and he was good enough to receive a college scholarship in San Francisco. He was known as a talented rapper ever since his elementary school days and had aspirations of making a career in the music industry. He will best be remembered for his generosity, sense of humor, contagious laugh, and great personality. Bobby was preceded in death by his grandma & grandpa, father, and aunt. He is survived by his two sons (Robert Jr. & Romaree), his two younger sisters, Juliette & Phoebe, and Michelle, the mother of his children and close friend. Robert also leaves to mourn countless close friends and family members from here to the east coast.
Bobby was a loyal friend, loving son and brother, but above all, he was a dedicated father and co-parent who held many close relationships with so many people throughout his life. Bobby was the biggest fan of his sons, Robert Jr. (22 years old) and Romaree (14 years old), with Michelle. He supported their dreams and ambitions with every fiber of his being…he never missed a football game or a chance to throw the baseball at Powell Barnett. And while not his biological child, he also loved Royalty (10 years old) as if she were “his own”, making sure she felt loved, included and supported after the passing of her father.
Bobby exhibited great morals, a tremendous work ethic and strong character, which his grandparents instilled and he modeled for his children at every opportunity, always wanting to be sure they knew how to take care of themselves. In addition, Bobby was always a protector of the people he loved; he was someone everyone could count on when needed. As we all have our own
troubles and triumphs throughout life, Bobby was known to stand tall during his troubling times and remained humble in times of prosperity. He will be missed beyond measure.
Michelle and Bobby’s family are incredibly grateful for any donation you can make…in Bobby’s name and memory.
