Worked with Bobby for a long time, great professional, but there was nothing more satisfying than getting him to laugh, that laugh is going to be hard to not hear again. One thing he always liked to pass on to our new folks was that easy days left nothing to learn from and the tough ones were an opportunity to learn and grow, but most importantly to strengthen relationships through! Having difficulty understanding the opportunity this one presents, but will do my best to honor his advise and seek it until it is found. Love ya brother!

I worked with Rob for almost 5 years at Universal! I will never forget the time he took to come out to eat with our team to celebrate my birthday and buying everyone drinks! He didn’t have to, but I’m so very appreciative. We will miss you Holman. ❤️

I had the pleasure of working with Rob for almost 6yrs at Cavalry. From working together, to him being my manager. His smile could light up any room! I cannot put into words the impact he had on everyone that he worked with. The most respectful and caring person I've ever met.

I had the pleasure of working with Rob for 6 years. I can honestly say he was one of the kindest and most level headed guys i have ever met. I never saw him act angry or stressed out. He treated everyone with respect and it was obvious he really truly cared about you.
I worked one July 4th shift with him, it was just him and I. So we sat next to each other and he made jokes, made up games, brought us some drinks and snacks and made that holiday shift so fun. I will never forget that.
Even after we were no longer on the same team, we would still talk and keep up, and when we would pass each other in the office he would always stop to talk with me and see how I was doing. He’d also ask me who had the best snacks at the moment so he could go get some. Snacky boy.
I feel blessed to have known him and will miss him a lot.

Rob was my first team lead when I started working at universal. Over the years, I had worked with him several times in different team settings. He would greet me with the same tone every single day when I got to work, “hey Jess!”
He always wanted me to succeed, was patient and so kind. His laugh and the way he smiled with his eyes were unforgettable. I loved making fun of him for the way he would sometimes sit in his desk chair slumped down. It was like he was melting into the floor. I also loved making fun of him because he could never tell when I was actually making fun of him. And he was always snacking. If I had a snack I wasn’t going to eat or finish, I know I could give it to Rob and he would eat it. In fact, sometimes he would beat me to it and he would just ask me if I was going to finish it or not. No food was ever wasted with him around.
He was the first team lead to ever tell me that he would promote me to troop op if the opportunity arose and he made me truly believe in my ability. I learned a lot from Rob. I am so lucky to have known him.

I am deeply sorry for the loss of Rob. I can’t imagine the pain you all are feeling right now. Rob was, without question, one of the most genuine people I have ever known. He was always the first person to ask how your life was going, he was the first to show love and support, and he never failed to show up for the friends in his life. I hope to channel even half the positive energy of Rob in my life. He will be missed by everyone and hope you feel his positivity with you every day forever.

Such a hard loss to hear about. Just doesn’t even feel right to leave a comment as it doesn’t even seem real he’s gone. Rob was my boss the last couple years at Universal. Such an example of a down to earth, genuine, nice guy. You could come to him with anything and would shoot straight with you. Always wanting to make sure others were doing ok first.
Seeing him and Matt at work reminded me of me and my sister’s relationship who also worked there. You could just tell they had that tight goofy brother bond.
Rob will be missed by so many! Prayers and comfort for his family as navigating this trial will be a hard road.

A group of us went to the Georgia vs Tennessee game that weekend. We were getting hyped up for the game at a local place. Rob and Jordan sat together and I was with another person. The Hail Mary was crazy! We all met up afterwards and had the best time!

I worked very closely with Rob over the years. He was always smiling, laughing, and knew how to keep a joke going to get under our buddies skin. We ate lunch together basically every Friday over the last few years. He was such a great guy, and I will greatly miss him.

Rob always was positive and kind. Rob always gave encouragement and praise to his loved ones. He always had a way to make people feel seen. In a recent upsetting work matter, Robs first concern was making sure we were okay. He reminded us how much he loved us. He said he hoped all of our paths crossed again, and I still believe they will. Rest easy.

Rob was genuinely a one of a kind thinker, friend, and person. As my boss, he always pushed me to be better in all aspects of work and life. What he taught me will never be forgotten. I hope to have the same impact on others as he did with me

Rob can best be described as kind, intelligent, and fun to be around. So many people looked up to him for work advice and inspiration. He took pride in building people up. He truly cared for and loved others.

Rob was always such an awesome guy! Although we were not very close in High School, I always remembered how he treated people.
Rob was in my first grade class at Mitchel Nelson Primary school. I remember I had bought the little paper yearbook that year and wrote next to Rob, “always shares his snacks”.
I just remember him always being willing to give up something for someone else. He will be missed. Praying for comfort and peace for his family.

Rob was always such a trooper whenever Courtney would drag him to Alabama football games. We always had so much fun together.
