Hello 

My name is Bronwyn (Bronzy) and I considered Robbie to be one of my best friends.  I'm so sad to only just have learned yesterday that he I'd gone and has been gone for almost 2 years from another one of Robbie's dear friends after he found this memorial online. What a shock this has been. 

I'm so sorry for your loss,  condolences to the family.  I think I only met you once,  Lola, but myself and Robbie were very kindred spirits and close friends.  I hadn't seen him for many years but he was always on my mind and I was always wondering about where he had been.  

I was always just hoping that he had run off to Spain with his grandmother like he always said he had plans to do.  I just figured he would've gotten ahold of me by now if that were the case.  I guess I knew in my heart that he was probably gone, but in my head it hasn't set in yet.  

I'm sorry I only learned of his tragic loss now, I wish I knew what happened as he was way too young for this.  I'm sorry I couldn't be at his funeral to say goodbye and pay my respects. And I'm sorry for the loss of your son,  your brother,   your grandson.  I was lucky enough to call him my friend.  And now 2 years after his passing I'm only just now understand I must now learn how to say goodbye to my dear friend. 

Love you Robbie, you'll be forever missed. I'll never forget the love of music we shared, the once in a lifetime experiences we had,  the shoulder each of us had for the other to cry on and vent to,  the things we both thought were so funny, how no one else understood either of us, the late nights, the comraderie we shared.  You were one of my favorite people on the planet and now my friend, I'll have to learn how to deal with the fact that you're gone.  

Miss you forever,  and once again to your family,  I'm so terribly sorry this happened to Robbie. He was loved & he is missed by many more than he ever knew.  

​Dear Lola, Mike, Joey, Tori, I am thinking of you all, I don't know what to say, I am shocked and saddened and offer my sincere condolences. I remember whenever I saw Robbie come into the classroom, playground, lunchroom, I would smile because he was always a bright, BRIGHT light, bringing joy, and that giant, exuberant, free-spirited, open-hearted, smile and laughter! And his curiosity was inspiring - he had this way of listening with such wonder, in such an engaged and deeply curious way, he loved to be challenged, you could see his brain learning and making a bazillion quirky connections, a joy to witness. He had incredible depth, not just for learning, but for the people around him, very aware of how others were doing, genuinely interested, warm, caring, and again, the sincere open-heartedness, the kindness. Robbie will be missed, he made the world a brighter place, and I'm so fortunate I had the opportunity to know him. Needless to say, if there is anything I can do, do not hesitate. -Seth

Mike and Lola, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I am praying for you and the family. I remember when Robbie first started attending the youth group, Johnny Burroughs commented to me that Robbie would worship God so passionately. We were all encouraged by his desire to seek God. 

Another story that comes to mind, we used to do a chocolate pudding fight at the church and the kids would be covered head to toe in chocolate pudding. When it was done Robbie and his friends would walk into the convenience store near the church and walk around like everything was perfectly normal. I don’t think the owners knew how to respond to these kids covered in chocolate. I always found that story funny.

Praying for God to comfort you during this time.

I truly have no words, they all seem so are so inadequate.  The memories of hanging out at your house and practicing for plays and the kids just being with each other and being kids.  I am sorry very very saddened and sorry for your loss.  I wish I could say more but I am sorry.  For the distance over these years.  May God give you strength.

No words. 💔 omg 

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart truly hurts for you all. I pray that God gives your family strength through this time and peace in knowing that he has Robbie in His arms now. 

Dear Lola, Mike and Family,

Bob and I were so sorry to hear of your loss.  It is so hard to lose a child.  Our son passed away this past February.  

Our family and friends have helped  us throughout our son Matthew's illness and passing and continue to offer their support.  Please know if there is any way we can help, don't hesitate to let us know.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. 

With love,

Bob and Jan Martinez 

I’m so sorry for your loss. Loosing a loved one in death is extremely hard to deal with. In the Bible, God promises to bring our dead loved one’s back to life. (John 5: 28,29) During this difficult time, a strong hope in God’s promises will help you to endure. And through endurance, you will experience that grand future in which Jehovah will “give you the requests of your heart.” He will satisfy “the desire of every living thing.” (Psalm 37:4) Things will get better soon.

Robbie was a beautiful child when we knew him and we enjoyed his bright and happy personality. Steve and I and Joel and Tim send our love and lift up prayers for Mike and Lola and family during this very difficult time. May Psalm 139 be a comfort to all of the Crowley Family.
