Rob collapsed from a sudden and unexpected brain aneurysm when going to get ready for a gig later that day. His wife, Kristina, found him and immediately called 911. The first responders did everything they could to figure out exactly what happened and to bring life back to Rob. From there, he was admitted and went into surgery immediately in attempt to relieve the pressure on his brain, doing everything they could to save his life. As the surgery went on, they realized the brain was under a mass amount of stress for too long, leaving the medical staff with an impossible task of relaying the news to our family. After doing everything they could to save Rob, we received the news that his brain suffered long enough and they could not find any brain activity. He was declared brain dead later that night. Due to his circumstances, Rob qualified to be an organ donor and was able to save multiple lives. He touched every person’s life in more ways than just the traditional role he was supposed to play. He truly had a way with words and knew exactly how to make others feel special. He was arguably the biggest part of any community he blessed us with- whether that be Sparta athletics, Dover athletics, a respected and basically home-town famous musician, his kid’s lives, and being a loving husband.
