Help Rob Fight Cancer and Support His Family

Rob is a devoted husband, father, church parishioner, and proud military veteran. He’s spent his life serving others—through deployments in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan, and through countless hours volunteering with organizations like the Civil Air Patrol, Knights of Columbus, VFW and the American Legion.

Now, Rob needs our help.

In 2025, Rob was diagnosed with Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin Tumor), a rare and aggressive bile duct cancer caused by toxic exposure during his military service. He’s endured multiple hospitalizations, surgeries, and treatments, losing over 70 pounds in the fight to become eligible for a high-risk surgery that could save his life.

Rob is currently out on disability and will remain so into 2026. The financial strain is immense—between mounting medical bills, college tuition for his son, and ongoing care for his adult daughter with special needs.

Despite everything, Rob’s spirit remains unbroken. He continues to put his family first, even as his health declines (this is the hardest part of he illness to see). He won’t ask for help himself, so we’re asking on his behalf.

How You Can Help:

• Donate to support Rob’s medical care, family needs, and recovery.

• Share this page with your network—every share helps.

• Pray and send positive thoughts to Rob and his loved ones.

Rob has had to step back from volunteering with beloved organizations like Civil Air Patrol and Knights of Columbus, and more—but his legacy of service lives on. Let’s show him that his community stands with him now, just as he’s always stood for others.

Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support.

With gratitude,

- Erika, family and friends
