Bobby was a true Holy Man 
Thank you 
Mike Franco

Bobby had a profound influence on my life. He was always working to get the best from me during my time playing baseball at Eastwood.  He always stayed late after practice to challenge me to preform at a higher level.  His motivation and encouragement made me a better athlete and a better person. He truly cared about the person well as the ball player.  I will miss him. Thanks Bobby.  Rest in peace.  

Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with the world, Bobby.  Singing on the mountain top with you  will always be one of my dearest memories.
Thank you for sharing your heart and joy with the world.  Those of us whose lives you touched are greatly blessed.  

Many blessings to your family who will miss you always.

Miss you Bobby, and will miss your Tiger Butter!

Our deepest sympathy and prayers for the family during this time. Very blessed to have known Bob and have him as my neighbor.

To my dear and loving Ashworth family:
My heart goes out to each of you.  I am sad that Bobby is no longer with us - he will be sorely missed.  Bobby always could make one laugh, a caring and loving individual with a heart of gold and a beautiful smile.  Bobby was a blessing in so many lives, including mine, and will be missed beyond measure.
           Thinking of You
Those we love don't go away.
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard.  But always near.
Still loved, still missed, and always dear.
Wish I could be at the Memorial Service this morning.  
All my love to each of you, and prayers sent.......

My fondest memories of Bob are from our high school days when "Bobby" played 2nd baseman for our Eastwood Troopers baseball team and was a huge contributor in making our Troopers a championship team our senior year.  As others have said, heaven now has a new angel playing second base and he is awesome.   He will be truly missed.  My sincere condolences to the Ashworth family.
Rest in  peace Bobby,
Glenn Gothard


I knew Bobby from his involvement with the Long Dance, a ceremonial gathering in NM that he attended each year.  He had a rare gift for making you feel immediately accepted, and yet at the same time, challenging you to do your best.  I didn't see him very often, but I was proud to be his friend, and was glad every time I saw him.  I will miss his presence in this world.

My deepest condolences for the lost of your loved one. Bobby was the best mentors  I ever had with such a kind heart. He will be missed dearly, may he rest in peace. May the Lord give you tranquility and peace in your heart.

My heart goes out to Pam, AJ and Melissa. Bobby was a great man and will be missed.. Bobby is my lifelong friend and mentor. He saved my life by guiding me into recovery, and showed me how to live one day at a time.  He has been instrumental in setting me on a spiritual path of my life. He was always there for me to listen, guide me and show by example what it looks like to live an honorable life.  Even as time passed and we went about our lives, I could call and talk to him, as if no time had passed. I will miss him, and will try to live the gift that has been imparted to me by knowing him. God Bless You and Keep You Bobby. I will see you again.

My sincere condolences are sent to Pam and family.  When i saw Sunday's newspaper it broke my heart to see Bobby in obits.  This could not be!!!!

I met Bobby, along with Dan Leonard, and Richard Prospapio in 1986 at Charter Hospital.  This entire team was fantastic as I was led to the most fantastic journey of my life.  Not only was i taught the Ropes Course but i was introduced to the magical journey of the Spiritual Red Road Path.   The many years of meeting up with Dick and Dan in sweat lodges, but continuing to meet up with Dick and Bobby at Long Dance in the infamous Magdalena Mountains.   These memories can never be taken away from me.   Though Bobby was quiet natured what he shared always had an impact on me and others.   There were many a times he would be walking alone thinking and meditating in his deep thoughts; thus afterwards producing words of wisdom.  How many times i would run into him only to be greeted with that toothy smile wearing his sunglasses/and cap.    I will share a tear for my brother as I will miss him.  He was loved by so many.

Dear Pam,
I am so grateful we were able to enjoy a family reunion in El Paso many years ago. It gave my Bob, my children, and me the chance to know you and Bobby better. What a gift. Your love for each will continue to bring comfort and joy for so many. I pray that this love brings solace to your heart as you bear the pain of grief. 
Peace be with you dear cousin,
Debbi Thomas and family

  Dear Bobby, you are now with The Good Lord, Who, will employ you with & amongst All the other Saints that assist God with Great Deeds, Spreading Love & Helping Others.
 You ALWAYS did Have those attributes.           

                 "I’M FREE"
Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free,
I’m following the path God laid for me
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found that peace at the close of day
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life’s been full, I’ve savored much,
Good friends, good times, my loved one’s touch
If my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.



Dear Pam and Family 
I can visualize Bobby’s smile and laugh and will always  remember him that way. 
 He did so much for the students at the residential treatment center for the state of  
New Mexico, where we both worked.  
I wish you peace in your hearts, knowing what a good man he was.
Sincerely,  Shelley 

I'm so sorry for your loss. May Our Lord give his family complete peace.  Bobby was always such a nice person, from when I was a kiddo to a few years back. I will never forget what Bobby and Pam did for my son and I. God bless!

He is the best Substance Abuse in the world. 
We worked together in different clinics. 
My bro is in God's hands. 
See you later bro. 😘 

Bobby was not only a great man but such an intelligent man. 
He taught me everything I know about Neurobiology and decency.
I am proud to say he was my friend and Colleague. 
May his family heal from his passing and remember he was highly respected and admired for his wisdom, character and friendship to many, many interns, therapists and support staff in El Paso and New Mexico. 
Bobby will be truly missed. 
Rest in Peace my friend.

My deepest and most sincere condolences to Bobby's family, friends  and every member of the EPTAAP. I am very sorry about him leaving to his final journey.  Bobby was a wonderful person and a big part of so many people's lives:  family, friends, co-workers and thousands of clients.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.  May he rest in eternal peace.

My condolences to his family, friends and community. I do remember his interest on helping,  his kind smile and he was the sponsor of my sponsor. Is not a goodbye to me; is a see you later Sr. 

My Deepest condolences for your loss. Bobby was a great man who left a great legacy behind. I first met Bobby as one of my instructors at EPCC back in 80’s. I learned so much from him. He was larger than life and lived life to the fullest. I remember when he talked about his family grandbaby, it would put a big smile on his face.  He will be missed, please accept my sincere condolences for your great loss, Josie La Salde 

I met Bobby when we both worked at Charter Hospital of Santa Teresa; 1987. The beginning of an adventurous friendship to the end.   We soon were joined by another co-worker, Dan Leonard, and we all became Ropes Course Brothers. The three of us spend a great deal of time on and off the Ropes Course; White Rafting in Northern New Mexico, Sweat Lodges in pursue of our Recovery Path and for that I will always be grateful both of these Gentle Men. 
To the family I can not expressed the deep gratitude and respect I have had for Bobby over the years. His absence can only be filled with the fond memories I have of him and hope you are able to do as well. 
Cohon

Rest in peace Bobby.  May God surround your family with His love and peace.  I had the pleasure of serving with Bobby on the El Paso Board of TAAP.  I could sense the respect people had for him and the institution he was in the Addiction professionals community.  Bobby was a reservoir of knowledge and passionate about the field.

He will be greatly missed.
