I taught Robert in 4th and 5th grade. He had a good and kind heart. Robert always had a smile for everyone. He has always been in my thoughts these past years–Robert is not the kind of student you forget. I am so saddened by this loss.
I had the honor to be able to work with Robert this year at Erwin. He was an extremely polite and generous student with a great smile and a heart of gold.I will miss him deeply. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with his Dad and family members.
Aaron,
I work at the Buncombe Co Health Dept. I always enjoyed seeing you and your son come in here. I am so sorry to hear about your son. My children attended school at Erwin with Robert and they told me how nice and mannerly he was. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I can’t imagine what you are going through right now but I know that only God has the answer and He is here for you.
With Sympathy,
Lisa Dryman and Family
Robert was a very special person and a joy to be around. My thoughts and prayers go out to the King family.
The Lord is Robert’s Shepherd; Robert shall lack nothing. He makes Robert lie down in green pastures. He leads Robert beside still waters. He restores Robert’s soul. He guides Robert in the paths of righteousness for His names sake. Even though Robert walks through the valley of the shadow of death Robert will fear no evil for You are with Robert. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort Robert. You prepare a table before Robert in the presence of his enemies. You anoint Robert’s head with oil. Robert’s cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow Robert all the days of his life and Robert shall dwell in the House of The Lord forever. Amen
robert was a good kid and i will keep him in my hopes and prayers.
Aaron,
I am sorry to hear about your son. You and your family are in my prayers. There are no words that that can make this easier. Just know that people care and are thinking about you.

Dear Aaron and Family,
We are very sorry and just want you to know that you are in our prayers.Aaron,I thank you for your friendship.Please call if I can help in anyway.
Robert was everything in a son that anyone could ever ask for…He was so very special. I remember him being so tiny when he was born, but he grew to be a tall and strong young man…He was always gentle, always kind, so very loving and no matter what, he was always smiling. He loved to laugh and anytime you didn’t have a smile of your own, he was always willing to give you one of his. He was one of the most generous people you could ever meet and he never took anyone for granted. When he left this earthly realm we live in, he took a huge piece of my heart with him, one that can never be replaced until I can be with him again. I LOVE and MISS you so very, very much that words cannot even begin to say what I am feeling. I know that there is one more angel in Heaven and that he is ‘MY ANGEL’.
we are sorry for your loss.please know that your family is in our prayers.

Aaron,
I just heard a few hours ago about Robert. I just cried my eyes out. He was the sweetest boy. I really loved waiting on him when he came in the credit union. I loved the kid. He was the same age as my son, Nichalas. I know you are hurting so bad right now. Just look up to God and He will get you through this. If you need to talk or anything just let me know. You are in my prayers.

my son it will bee soon 3 long years sence you left me i miss you as mutch today as i did the day it happend i love you and always will and wish you were back with me
Robert,
It has been almost 3 yearssince you left this earth, and you are still as much on my mind today as you were the day I found out I was pregnant with you. Not a day goes by that I don’t see something that reminds me of you or hear a song or well just looking at your pictures. You would be graduating this year and I would have loved seeing you walk across that stage and receive the diploma that you had worked so hard for through school. I know you are watching down on all of us and I know you are looking out for your new baby nephew, who you would have had much fun with. He looks a lot like you, I think and he can look at you and some of the looks he has reminds me of those little quirky looks you used to give me. I love you and miss you so much, somedays it is really hard to bear. Just remember that you are always in my heart and that I LOVE YOU.
Mom
Dear Family,
I was new to Erwin my freshman year… and I remember I was so nervous it was such a big school… I was walking up to the second floor when I bumped into Robert… He smiled and asked if I was new and then he introduced himself, asked if I wanted him to take me to my class. I laughed and told him I would appreciate that… He walked me to my class gave me a hug and left. When class ended I walked into the hallway and there he was again… 😀 he walked me to every class for two weeks and never leaving me without a hug. He was my best friend from then on… At the end of the day he’d walk me to the bus and gave me a cookie. 🙂 Lol! Oatmeal Raison… and forst thing in the morning it was bojangles. 😀 but I remember the last thing he said to me… ‘I’ll see you tomorrow.’. Your are missed dearly. 🙁
Robert,
Words can never say how much I miss you. I have such a hole in my heart and no way to fill it. Every day you are in my mind and something is always reminding me of you. I look at Braeden and I can only imagine his uncle Robert playing with him. I wish he could have known you. He makes some faces that remind me of you and how you were when you were just a little thing. I wish I could have you back here with me. I wish I could have kept you safer. I love you so much. You are always with me in my heart and in my mind.
My Dearest Robert,
You have been gone from me for 4 years now and the emptiness in my heart is today the same as it was this day 4 years ago. I miss you so much. There is not a day that goes by that you are not on my mind and in my heart. I wish you could see little Braeden. He would love his uncle Robert so much. He reminds me alot of you. He is sweet and loving and makes you feel warm and loved. Toya and I talk of you often and we feel you with us. I love you and wish you could be with me all the time. You will always be my angel.
My Wonderful Son,
I miss you more and more as the days go by. I wish so much that I could be with you and that you could be here and see and play with Braeden. He would love you and you would have so much fun with him. In a lot of ways he reminds me of you. He has that special loving heart and wonderful personality and special smile you have. I think of you so much. I love and miss you.
Mom
Hi Sweetie,
I was just thinking about you, nothing new about that, but I was just imaging how it would be to have you here with me. I wish I could take you fishing again. I wish you could see Braeden. In a lot of ways her reminds me of you. I think you and him would be great buddies. Uncle Robert would have him following him around everywhere. Not a day goes by that you are not on my mind. I am still trying to figure out what went so wrong that took you from me. I love you so much an I miss you.
Love,
Mom
My Dearest Robert,
It has been 5 years since you left this earth and not a day has gone by that you are not on my mind. I miss you more than I could ever say. I wish so much that you could be here with me. I don’t think I will ever be able to get over the pain in my heart because a big part of my heart died with you. I pray for the day to come soon that I can be with you again. I have Toya and Braeden, and I love them with all that is left of my heart, but I miss you with a big part of my heart. You never had a chance to experience being able to graduate, turning 21, you weren’t even able to get your driver’s license and I feel that was taken from you. I love you so very much. Your birthday is coming up in a couple of days and I wanted to wish you a happy birthday and I hope that God bestows on you a very special one. You are always in my heart and I will always think of you…love, Mom
to my son you would have been 21 tomorrow I went to your grave on the 24th of april and burned a candle in honer or you I still do not no what happened to you for you to do what you done bobo if fine still takeing care of your dog he is a rotton pooch but I won’t you to know I love you and always will you will always bee in my hart just rember that Robert I love you so mutch love dad
Dear Robert…
I was just thinking of you as I do every day and I am missing you more and more. I still have a huge hole in my heart that can never be filled. I was just looking at Braeden the other day when he was with me and I was thinking about how much he reminds me of you when you were his age. I was comparing the picture of you when you were in Mary’s wedding and he has so many of the querky little looks and smiles and things that make me think of you even more. You would love him and he would love you. I wish you could be here with him, but I feel you watching over him. He is all boy, just like you and he has a smile that can melt your heart, just like you. I miss you so very much. I pray that we will be together again one day. I love you and I will always hold you in my heart.
Mom
My Darling Son,
It is Thanksgiving and I miss you more now than you can ever imagine. I think about how much you always enjoyed this time of year and how you could hold your own at the dinner table. I think about you constantly and I even find myself calling Braeden by your name quite often. You would enjoy hime so much because you were always a favorite with the little ones. He can make you laugh and some of his expressions remind me so much of you. I was looking at some of the photos of you when you were around his age and you look so much alike. I told Toya the other day that it is amazing how much you two look alike. She sees it too. She misses you very much too. I just don’t know how to handle it some days. I know you are in a much better place than we are, but I miss you so very much. You would have enjoyed being here and being able to fish and camp and do the things outside that you liked. I love you so much.
Mom
Robert,
It just doesn’t seem possible that you are not here. I know that you are here in spirit, but that doesn’t fill the hole in my heart. I miss you so much and I wish you could be here with me. I love you so much…Merry Christmas and know that you are never off my mind. Love, Mom

Robert, the more time passes the more It hurts to know you are not here with me. I cannot tell you how many times during the day that you are on my mind. I miss you so very, very much. Braeden still reminds me very much of you and there are even days that I cannot help myself for calling him
Robert. I miss you and love you. I pray that one day we can be together and I am hoping it can be soon. The loss of you has really taken a toll on me. Toya is still doing well and her and Braeden are here with me. Missing you my baby…love you….Mom

Dear Robert,
Christmas didn’t seem the same without you as usual and the New Year only brings more heartbreak because you are not with me. Words cannot express the loss I have in my heart and the hole that never seems to get smaller only bigger. I miss you so very much and I do not know what to do sometimes because the hurt is so great. Just to let you know, Toya is well and Braeden, seems more like you somedays that is possible. He reminds me so much of you in a lot of ways and I slip up a lot and call him Robert. I love you so much and I will always love you. God be with you and keep you until I can be with you again. Mom
My Dearest Angel Robert,
It is almost Easter and then it is coming up on 7 years since I lost you. I miss you so much that words cannot even express. I having been thinking even more of you than usual, even though you are never far from my mind. I see things and do things and I remember things that you like and I say to whoever I am talking to ‘my son would have loved that or Robert was just like that’. And, your little nephew Braeden looks so much like you that I still catch myself calling him Robert and he does thing like you did and he likes a lot of things you liked. You would have so much fun with him. I wish you could be here with him, but I know you are close by. I love you baby and I miss you. I know God is taking good care of you and I know that your are with Daddy and Granny and uncle Paul and Aunt Mary and Aunt Edna, and Aunt Sallie and Buddy. I know you are all together. Toya is going to be a mommy again. I wish you could be here to give her a hard time. I keep telling her it is going to be twins just to get a rise out of her. I know you would have fun doing that too. We Love You so very very much.
Mom
I went today to fix my memorial to you. I miss you so much, no one would believe how much you are constantly on my mind. Every time I look at Braeden, I see so much of you, it both joys my heart and breaks it at the same time. I wish so much that you could be here to see him. You would have a great time with him. I feel like if you were here that you would have probably had a beautiful family of your own as well. God knows I wish I could turn back time and do something that might have changed things. I love you so much baby….love Mom
well son it has been 8 long years sence you took your life I gess you are with mom she is in heven she had brain cancer and died of it so youall are together and we are having another turkey day and you are missing out on it I love you son I just wished you had come and talked to me about what m was bothering you so I could have done something thay will not tell me nothing at the school I no I tried to find out why any way I love you with all my hart and won’t you to no I would not let anyone hurt you love you son until we can bee together again
I miss you more and more as time goes by. Every day there are so many times that I look around and expect you to be there. Little Braeden looks a lot like you and is some comfort to me and i know the two of you would have been great buddies. Toya is getting ready to have a little girl and eventhough I know you already know that, I know that you will be watching over her like you do Braeden. I do not believe what some people have said that you took your life intentionally and nothing they could ever say would make me believe that. God in Heaven knows what happened and come judgement day, those resposible will have to answer for it. I hope that we can be together one day soon, but until then, know that I love you dearly and you are always on my mind. Say hello to the rest of the family for me. I love you….Mom
It has been 8 long years since you went to Heaven. I miss you so very much it hurts my heart. It should have never been this way. I love you son and I know that you are watching over us all and you are never off my mind. I hope to be with you soon.
love,
Mom
Another year has come and gone and you still as much on my mind as ever…I miss you so very much….I wish you could see you niece and nephew so bad…they would love you so much. I find myself calling Braeden by your neme so often because he reminds me so much of you….Aubrey on the other hand is just a little stinker. I want you to know that I hope I can be with you one day soon, but until then, know that I love you with all my heart.
love,
Mom
Today makes 9 years since you passed. I cannot believe that it has been that long and yet it seems as only yesterday. i miss your smile, your laugh, your kind heart and I just miss you. God apparently had some other plan for you and I pray that one day soon that we can be together once again. In a week, you will be 25 years old and you are still my baby. I know I have told you this before, but your nephew, Braeden, looks so much like you and he reminds me of you in the way he makes silly jokes, the way he laughs, the little odd things that he finds funny and alot of the things he likes. I mess up quite often and call him by your name but he doesn’t seem to mind. he is like you, he is smart and he knows and understands things that people wouldn’t realize. Please look in on him and little Aubrey from time to time. I love and miss you so very very much.
Mom
Happy Birthday my baby….
Today is your 25th birthday and I know it has been a wonderful day in Heaven. I miss you so very much. I love you Robert and I hope and pray we can be together soon….Love ,
Mom
Miss you Robert happy birthday budd
Yet another Christmas has come and gone without you…I miss you so very much…it is unimaginable how hard it is to smile and go on some days. Toya is getting ready to have your new nephew..you will then have 2 nephews and a niece in between. I must tell you yet again how much Braeden reminds me of you….he has that sweet loving heart of you and the kind demeanor and the beautiful smile that melts your heart as your does…I pray that you watch over them all. I want you to know that not a day goes by that you are not on my mind and in my heart. I love you so much….until I see you again…loveyou so much,
mom
Happy Birthday !!!
I cannot believe how long it has been since you went to Heaven. I miss you so very much; words cannot express the emptiness in my heart without you here. God must have some special plan for you. He had to have needed just one more angel cause he certainly took one from me. Know that I love you and miss you and I hope to join you one day soon.
Love you,
Mom
Here it is October and winter is coming quickly. I wish you could be with me here for when the snow flies. I think you could have a lot of fun with the young people I work with. They are like you in that you like the trucks and the mud and working on things but in another way, you were always way more diligent in what you did. I miss you so very much and it hurts my heart so bad that you cannot be with me or that I am not with you. I see a lot of you in Braeden and I am sure Emerson will be a lot like you as well. You would love Aubrey too, she is a lot like your sister. A girly tomboy. I love you my baby….love, Mom
It is another Christmas passed without you and the hole in my heart gets bigger and bigger with each passing year. I miss you so very much. It just isn’t the same. I have no great happiness…just sadness. You should be here with me and Toya and the babies. They would love you as I know you love them as you look down on them from Heaven. God Bless you Son….I love you..
Mom
Happy Birthday Son,
It has been 11 long painful years since you left me. I love and miss you as much today as if it were yesterday. Sometimes I feel you are by my side and I hope that is true. I wonder how you are and if you ever think of me. There are so many things I wish I could share with you and I think you would be so happy to be with Toya, Braeden, Aubrey, and Emerson and I was hoping for grandbabies from you, but I cheated out of them. God only knows how much I miss you. I am waiting for the day that hopefully I will get to be with you again. I hope you have a wonderful birthday with all my family that has passed. You are my angel.
Love,
Mom
My Precious Son ,
Here it is your 28th birthday and I miss you more and more as time goes by…the pain doesn’t lessen, the hole in my heart only gets bigger….I had a man come to my work and was talking to me and one of my employees and he asked if we wanted to hear a song and it stunned me at the song he chose to sing which was one you had always liked and as he sang it, the tears welled up in my eyes as I thought of you for the thousandth time during the day…
Happy Birthday in Heaven to my angel. I love and miss you very much….Mom
My Dearest Son,
I am missing you so very much and it is very hard to keep going some days. I try, but it is very hard to through the day sometimes because you are not with me. I see you so much in everything and I see you in Braeden a lot. Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you…love you so very much and miss you even more. Love, Mom
My Loving Son,
It has been so hard these past years without you and today is even harder. I am missing you so very much and I don’t know what to do. You are on my mind constantly and it is like a thirst that can’t be quenched. I want you here with me so very much. How am I supposed to keep going. Day to day is a struggle sometimes and the need to reach out and hug you and tell you I love you is so hard. I miss you and love you … I am praying for the day that I can be with you again. Love, Mom
I miss you so much it hurts. The time we have had apart seems like an eternity. I pray that I can be with you soon. I think about you and blame myself. I wonder how my being there would have changed things. I look at your nephew Braeden and I see you in him in both looks and mannerisms in some ways and it makes me long to be with you even more. I think you would have enjoyed being around Toya’s children and I miss that I will never get the chance to see any from you and I miss getting to experience a lot of life’s ups and downs with you. I just simply miss you. I love you dearly my son and I think of you constantly.
My Loving Son,
I miss you more as every day passes. You are on my mind and I wish I could be with you. A large part of my life ended when you passed away. I want you here with me so bad. I think you would really enjoy being with the grandbabies and your sister. Braeden looks so much like you in a lot of ways it is scary. He is gonna have your build, tall and skinny. I am going to see your Aunt Sallie for the first time since you passed. We are all meeting in Denver for Christmas and I wish with all my heart that you could be there with us. Emerson has your demeanor and kind hearted way. Aubrey is a girly girl most of the time, but she can be a tomboy. I wish I could have seen your children. I think you would have been a fantastic dad. I am sorry for failing you. I love you so very much. I hope our time apart is not as long as it has been. Merry Christmas in Heaven.
Love,
Mom
Here it is your birthday again. I miss you more today than yesterday. My memories keep me going, but I miss being able to talk to you and be with you. I wish you could be with me and Toya and the grandbabies. You would have lots of fun with them. I pray that it won’t be long until I can be with you again. I love you very much….Mom
Just sitting here thinking about how much I miss you and wish I could see you and be with you. I love you so very much and miss you as much or more today than yesterday. I wish you could be here with me and your sister and your niece and nephews. They would absolutely adore you as much as I do. I am so very sorry if I let you down. It was never my intention. I did what you asked and even though it broke my heart, I tried to do what you wanted and now I don’t have you because of that decision. It has been a hard 16 years since you passed. Not a day goes by that you are not on my mind or that something doesn’t make me think of you. Just know that I love you and miss you with all my heart.
love, Mom
Another Christmas has passed without your presence here on this earth. I just hope you know how much you are loved and missed. I am forever thinking of you and it seems like only yesterday that you were with me. When I looked at the Christmas lights I would think of how you loved to go driving just to look at the lights. I remember how you always wanted the Christmas tree decorated and how you wanted lights around the house. I remember that on Christmas morning you loved having Chocolate gravy and biscuits along with other goodies. Just know you are never far from my immediate thoughts and that I love you dearly.
love you,
Mom
It has been 17 years today since you left this earth and my heart is still empty from losing you. I cannot understand how people say that time will heal the hurt because for me the hurt is as strong today as it was the day you passed. I know that you are in a better place than we are, but that doesn’t make the missing you any easier. I love you and I will always feel like maybe there would have been something I could have done to keep this from happening and it gnaws at me constantly. I miss you my precious son and I pray that the time will come soon when I can hopefully be beside you. Every time I see a “drummer boy” quarter, you touch my heart because it is like you are saying hello or I’m here with you. I love you and miss you terribly.
love forever and always,
Mom
Happy Birthday my precious son…You are 33 years old today…It doesn’t seem possible that I have missed having you with me for that many years…I hope your day in Heaven is spent with family and friends that are there with you. I love you so very much and miss you more than anyone would believe. Until I see you again don’t forget that I am missing you and loving you even more
Mom
My precious, precious boy. How I miss you. The more time goes by, everyone says that the pain eases, but that is just simply not true. I think about all of the things that you have missed out on. I think about all the ways that I miss you. It is kinda funny, but your nephew, Braeden, looks alot like you and in a lot of ways he reminds me of you. It hurts my heart to know that I will never have the opportunity to share grandchildren with you because I know that you would have been a very loving and caring dad. We talk about you frequently because you are on my mind always and Christmas and all other holidays, are just not the same without you. You had such a love of life and family and I just cant get past not having you here with me for the holidays and every day. Just know that I pray that one day very soon I can see you again. I love you so very much. Mom
It has been 18 years since you passed away and it seems like yesterday. I look at your picture and think about the wonderful man you could have been abd the wonderful father I know you would have been and I feel like you were so cheated. I still blame myself for not being there to stop whatever happened and I hope that you know that I love you more today than you could possibly know. Your nephew, Braeden, reminds me so very much of you in a lot of ways like how kind he is and how caring he is with everyone. You would love little miss Aubrey, because she is a tomboy princess and little Emerson, is just a boys boy tht likes everything about being outdoors and they are both very loving too. I miss you very much and think of you so very often. The hurt never goes away. I miss you son. I hope that I can be with you soon again. You have a birthday coming up in a week. It is hard to belive that you would be 34. I love you so very much.
I miss you so very much and I just wanted to say a very very Happy Birthday to you on what would have been your 34th birthday. I love you very very much and miss you every day.
love,
Mom
