| Shredder | Rob sure was a character and a great person to be around. He will be missed by all. I found a few pics to share over the 3 years I knew him. May he rest in peace. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

| Knee Dragger Joined: Apr 2008 From: Beaverton, OR I Ride: Fijian Style... | I had much respect for his free spirit. I really don’t know how to digest this, but you will be dearly missed my friend. I remember him saying something like if you are a rider, you are my friend, if you ride with me, you are my family, and he meant it! Will miss you bro! This is really hard to come in terms with…… . |

| Pit Crew Joined: Jul 2006 From: PDX I Ride: Hypermotard | Loosing Rob is surreal and hard to really wrap my head around. Thank you Rob for being such a good friend over the years and always the positive guy that you are. I remember that you used to always say that ridding motorcycles was like getting the BMX gang back together, just with real motors. I always felt that way when I rode with you. You made ridding fun, with all your crazy shit like throwing the horns, holding up traffic on burnside to let a 100 bikes through, and hanging your sun burnt ass crack out of the back of your jeans. Thank you for having that kindred hooligan spirit. I am honored to have been part of Rob's last ride. I will always think of you when I'm out on those roads. I miss you my friend. |

How can this be? How can something so unthinkable have happened? Go swiftly Rob. Fun in 2009 on a fine sunny day just begging for some squidding around. ![]() |

| Endorsed Joined: Apr 2012 From: Hillsboro I Ride: While texting, in a banana hammock. | Rob was one of the first guys i met on my first day of joining PNWR. I thought i would feel like the new boyfriend at a wedding. Out of place and ignored, left out of photos as if not to belong, and soon forgotten. But Rob instantly treated me as a friend, comrade, and brother.I WILL NOT forget that. He was one badass, metal, sweetheart of a man and will always be missed. I beg everybody to show up on Tuesday, to show with a black band on their bike, and to have at least $1 for a continuing charity pot for his wife. We owe it to such a great man, pillar of our community, as well as to Shannon (for it is her loss more than ours). R.I.P. Rob, we ride your honor, and you will have a procession to rival the hells angels! i know you will see it and smile. ![]() Last edited by Distracti0n; 05-20-2012 at 10:38 PM.. |
