Robert grew up in Crescent and attended Crescent Public Schools.  He was active in Boy Scouts and Little League Baseball.

Robert and Melodee began dating in high school.
     

Robert graduated from Crescent High School in 1997.

Robert married our daughter, Melodee, on September 18, 1999.  He was a young man that every parent dreams of for their daughter.  He treasured Melodee as the princess she was in our eyes.

Robert was employed by Kone Elevator in Okla. City from 1997 until his death.  He was also a member of the Executive Board of IUEC Local Union 63.  In November of 2002, passed his test to become an VTT Mechanic.  His test score was the 2nd highest in the group.

Robert and Melodee traveled to places that many of us only dream of visiting.  In a short, few years together, they accumulated a lifetime of memories.

On February 6, 2003, Robert was fatally injured in an auto accident.  Robert was 24 years old when he left us.  Melodee was 10 weeks pregnant with their first child.

Robert was an intelligent and charismatic young man.

Robert's enthusiastic humor left a smile on the face of everyone he met.

 A trip to Europe during their high school years developed a love of travel.
