I'm unbelievably shocked and saddened to hear about Rob's passing.  Rob and I served in the US Navy FROM DAY 1.  We left the same day from Denver to boot camp.  Went through boot camp together in the Company and then went through CTM A school together in Pensacola, FL.  We had a blast and MANY, MANY, MANY laughs!   Being CT's at that time, we were land based, really never went upon a ship, but we did rent a deep sea fishing boat with a group of other seasoned Navy sailors once.  He and I got so sea sick!  We caught a LOT of fish and had a huge party & great fish fry!  
Wishing all your family the deepest condolences and sympathies!   He was a wonderful person and I'm sure that his memories will live on through his beautiful family!
BTW...he outranked me by 2 WEEKS and he never let me forget it!!  Typical Rob!   What a guy!

Liz and family, so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you...

Sarah, Jackson and Ronan I am so sad for you and you a still constantly in my thoughts.

Sarah, so shocked and saddened to hear the news today of Rob's passing. Tom and Tamara reached us today after we returned from being abroad. We are so grateful that we got to reconnect with you, a Rob and the boys on the 4th. It was so great to have the gang back together, leaving us missing you guys even more, and never dreaming that would be our last visit with Rob. We can still see the boyish delight  as he scurried around lighting fireworks. He was so outrageously original.  We cannot imagine the pain and loss you and the boys are dealing with. Please let us know how we may support, you are already in our prayers. 

Regretfully,
Don, Dymphna & Chase Cordova

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Rob's passing. I only worked with him a little bit; however, he was smart, funny and someone I looked forward to saying hello when I saw him around the office. My thoughts and prayers go out for his family and friends.

Liz,Sarah,Jackson,Ronan and Knapp family. My heart is broken for you and my thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Taken way too early but memories will last forever. I remember happy times at the Mead homestead painting Easter Eggs, the first baby shower fun and many happy celebrations and family get togethers. My love to all, Annette ( Perth, West Australia and Loveland, Co)

My heart goes out to you and your boys Sarah.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers.  May God grant you peace and comfort in the wonderful memories you have.  
Sending you a huge hug from miles away-

Sarah, I am so very sorry for your loss.  I pray that God's comfort, strength and love would overflow and saturate you, your sons and your family at this time.

Dear Liz and family,  words cannot express the profound sadness we feel for you, Sarah, Jackson, Ronan and the family, at the loss of Rob. Our prayer is that God will wrap you in his loving arms and give you strength to get through this terrible time.  Please know we love you and we are here for you. Sending our thoughts and prayers.  Your forever friends,

                                                 Dorothy and Wanda

So shocked and saddened to see this news.  I knew Rob through projects we shared, and his creativity, energy, and humor were an inspiration and a delight to me.  No problem could discourage him - he had the ability to laugh about small misfortunes and to see obstacles as chances to come up with new ideas, and he never hesitated to share his knowledge and time with others.  He and his family are in my thoughts.

I am so sorry to hear about Rob. Fun guy to work with, a man with a great gleam in the eyes. Always looking for the best solution to challenging problems. He will be sorely missed by those who worked with him. RIP - Rob.

 Dear Liz and Stephen: I have such sweet and wonderful memories of times past when the family would come to Missouri to visit Grandma. Always had so much fun, good food and laughter. Precious memories! My heart goes out to each one of you over the loss of Rob. We loved him, he will always be missed. I pray that God will lift you up and give to new mercies each morning to face the challenges that each day will bring. Love you

I knew Rob long, long ago.  He had such a kind heart, and a sparkle in his eye that was shared with everyone. I am privileged to have known him.  My prayers and love to his family.

To my dear friend Sarah and her wonderful boys - words can't express how sad we are for you. You are in our thoughts and prayers every day and we feel privileged to have got to know Rob a little on your trips to the UK. We enjoyed his company, his wit, his intelligence and his sarcasm! With all our love Chantall and Stuart

Dear Liz, Sarah, and family,
My heart is with you. I loved that guy as did you all. Words can't express. Thank you for posting this so Carol F. and I can be with you to remember, Rob and support you in any way we can. 
Susie Groshong, Longmont, Co.

We are so saddened by this news, Sarah and family, and want you to know we are here for you in any way we can help.

We feel privileged to have known Rob and so sad that he will no longer be around for his lovely family.  Our heartfelt thoughts & prayers are with Sarah, Jackson, Ronan the wider Knapp family and will be particularly so on Monday.  Much Love to you all.

I miss you terribly and am still in shock. I love you and there is a void in my life that can never be filled.

Oh Sarah, I just don't have words to express how sorry I am. My thoughts and prayers are very much with you and the boys. Sending lots of love,

We are so sorry Sarah, we never met Rob, but our prayers are with you and your sons xxx

Sad to hear this. He was always into something, looking to be creative. Condolences to his wife, kids, and family, and to his many friends.

I'm so incredibly sad about your loss Sarah. Rob was a witty, intelligent, and genuinely good man, and his presence will be missed. My prayers are with you and the children.  May God bless and give you the strength you need. Hugs!!!

Rob, you are one of the coolest guys I ever worked with.  This is a terrible day.  Sarah, our thoughts, prayers and warmest wishes are with you & the boys.  Although there aren't words to console you, know that you are not alone in grief, nor will you be alone in healing.

Sarah - there are no words that I can offer that seem enough during such a difficult time.   Please know that I am praying for you and the boys and sending you hugs and love!     Keep your faith - it will sustain you.
