    I always thought of him as a straight up guy,.... he'd do anything for you if he could. He would always bring great vibes every time I was around him. He will be greatly missed and both my wife and I send our love and prayers to his family and children. This is not "Good-Bye" Robbie, we will see each other again. Love you Brother.

    I am Robbie’s aunt, sister of his mother. My condolences to Robbie’s children and grandchildren. I have some great memories and fun times with Robbie when we lived closer. I know my sister is overjoyed to be with him again in heaven.

    Worked with him at Jay C. Loved alot of the same music. He let me use a mic stand for lip sync one year at the Persimmon Festival. Rest easy, Robbie. 🤘🏾

    I only got brief moments with Robbie, but being a fellow Stryper fan those moments where rememberable. I always felt that if Robbie and I ever had a chance to seriously hang out and jam we would have become quick and very strong friends. It saddens me that I won't have that opportunity here on earth, but looking forward to seeing him in Heaven.
