I was just thinking of Bobby today and found this page. I am his late father's sister so I was his aunt. Bobby was a very sweet, respectful, quiet young man growing up. I remember his birthday parties and his smile. It was a shock to learn about his passing. He will always be greatly loved and missed by so many. The world is surely a bit darker without him.

Bobby and I worked together at Greenbrier for several years. He was a great friend and comrade. While there, we went on many calls together, I could always count on him to have my back. Bobby was an extraordinary person, friend and police officer. Bobby and I shared a lot of the same beliefs, when we weren't saving the world, we would sit around listening to Art Bell and play a guessing game of cards. Bobby had an open mind, and was very intuitive. It's been 2 years since Bobby passed, and I miss him bad and think about him all the time.

I want to send my deepest sympathy out to the immediate family and dearest friends of Bobby... I wish we had gotten the chance to know him better, my husband would have been so lucky to have had a friend as great as Bobby was to his friends. We are very sorry for his loss and want to express that we have great respect for Bobby and will hold his memory in very high regard.

Bobby could always make me laugh.I first met Boby when he worked with Greenbrier PD. He always came in Doublebees to check on us girl and stay and chat for a bit. I then became an EMT and began seeing him when he was on shift at UAMS. If it was his break time he never failed to come and chat with me. We would catch up on what was new and have a few laughs. You will be so missed Bobby. It's just not the same to not be able to see your smiling face when I am at UAMS.

I have known Bobby for many years now and I was blessed to have worked with Bobby at Greenbrier PD for four years!. I remember when I had my daughter in 2009 he showed up at my house just so he could see her and congratulate me! I made him hold her and it was so funny because he thought he was going to break her! He was one of the kindest, funniest men I have ever known! I will cherish the many hilarious memories I have with him. Love you forever Bobby!

To a friend who always listened, always encouraged, always made me laugh, and always told the truth even when I didn't want to hear it, I hope you have found peace.

Bobby was an extraordinary man. He was extremely smart. When he was younger, school officials tested him and wanted him in more advanced classes. He loved reading science fiction books. He was so funny, always making me smile. Bobby loved big breakfast. It was his favorite meal of the day, besides a good steak from Outback or cheese cake from Ruby Tuesday. He was a whiz at computers. If anyone had a problem, they called Bobby. He built all his own computers from scratch. I loved cheering him on while he beat video game after video game. Bobby loved music. I can still see him sitting in his chair practicing on his guitar. I was always in complete awe of him; so very proud of him. Bobby was my world and I am lost without him.

I had not seen Bobby in several years. I remember him being the funny little boy that loved his family. I do know that my brother would have been proud to see the man he had become, as we all were. He will most definitely be missed.

Bobby was my best friend for the past 20 years. He was a coworker, a friend, a roommate, and part of my family. The things I enjoy most in life I actually learned about from Bobby over the years - Kevin Smith's movies and podcasts, Dave Matthews Band, and being creative (whether it's producing music, movies, animation, or podcasts). Bobby and I traveled the US together, saw DMB in more states than I can count, and did everything we could to live life to its fullest. Bobby made me a better person through our friendship and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. He is, and will be, missed. It won't be the same without him around, but I am thankful for all the memories we had together.

Bobby was one of the best friends anyone could ever have. He was always there to listen and was one of the smartest people I'd ever met.

We had some fun adventures and I'll miss you like crazy brother. As we used to say, "cya doo."

I worked nights with Bobby when I dispatched at GPD. He was always there to tell you the truth, someone to confide in, someone to bring me Gatorade and junk food in the middle of the night, and conversation to keep us both awake. His sense of humor was contagious. Bobby will be missed. Prayers for friends and family.
