lot of time with his family at his grandparent’s house. From a young age he always cared about

everyone around him and was never afraid to be the one in charge. Any need that was shared

became his to fulfill or solve.

Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. He graduated from Northwood University with

a Bachelor’s degree in business administration on June 30 th , 2004.

Robert lived in Arlington, Texas, where he owned the Old Cocktail Lounge. Not only was Robert

an incredible chef that would feed everyone, but he would go out of his way to make sure

everyone around him felt showered with love, and would do anything to make sure they had a

better day.

Anyone that knew Robert knew that he had a big smile and an even bigger heart. He was a

proud uncle who cherished every second with his nieces and nephews. He loved planning

family gatherings and cooking for everyone who joined. He enjoyed going to baseball games

and football games with friends, as well as hosting big game days at the bar.

Ashley, and Paula, his grandmothers Teresa Porras and Christina Parades, as well as aunts,

uncles, cousins, and friends who all loved and cherished him.
