Robert was a true cowboy in every sense of the word. His passion was training horses on his ranch, his children and his work. He had a deep love and respect for the company he worked for and all of his co-workers. He took great pride in the job he performed for Devall Towing Company. He was an affectionate and loving man who was taken from his family and friends much too soon. His family and friends mourn his loss, but are comforted by the knowledge that he is at home with the Lord.
