Rob was such a special soul - his reach in helping others is immeasurable. Countless stories have poured in on the days following his death of the innumerable lives he touched. Spike, as many knew him as, left behind a legacy of healing and hope. Even in his own struggles, there is nothing he wouldn't do, and he knew no stranger. He was a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Rob absolutely loved spending time with his family especially his daughter, Lily. The way to his heart was chicken wings, he especially loved getting them with Lily. He was an amazing son, brother and dad that gave the best hugs, and even better wisdoms. You could always count on him to be the best friend you could find.

His absence will greatly impact not only his family but also the recovery community. There will never be another like him.
