He will be missed. He is not hurting now and is with his famy in heaven. God bless & RIP Robert.

I always enjoyed when Robert came to visit, we always planned our dinner at Texas Land and Cattle. He taught me to shoot with his hand guns, then helped me pick out my .40 cal Springlfield semi. He then showed me how to dissamble and clean my gun. That was just the giving person that I will remember Robert for.

We know you are in a better place, but Melissa and many others will miss you!! Our thoughts are prayers are with your family.  We enjoyed meeting you at Melissa and Steve's wedding.  You knew how to have a good time!

Dad was always there for me to encourage me and make sure that I did my best at whatever I did.  I think he was the most excited on the day I wanted to learn to shoot.  :)  He loved teaching me, Steve, Darrell and everyone else who wanted to about how to be a good, safe, gun owner.  I loved all the times playing poker with the grandads, cousins, and uncles.  When they got tired of the kids playing, dad would start betting quarters and us kids would all chicken out.  Dad always loved to play tricks and tease me.  I'm glad dad doesn't have to deal with arthirits or that stuff any more.  He may be chasing the rabbits now instead of shooting them.

I have many memories of Robert playing poker with J.E. and the bunch in Seymour while visiting the McKinney's. They would be sitting at the kitchen table having a grand ole time while we sat in the living room and visited. There was always lots of laughter and food around. It was a small house but full of kids, adults, and fun times. I know how much you will be missed by your family, especially Melissa, but you leave many happy memories for your little girl who loves you very, very much.

Robert, I have fond memories of you from many years back when you used to drive Sandra to her schools. I would see you at Ben Milam School and you always had something interesting or funny to say. I also remember you talking about and showing your leather tooling projects. I know you will be missed by all who knew you. My sympathies to your family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Robert was such a help to me when I first started work for DISD.  He knew how to get from one school to another and avoid major traffic.

I remember that every time I was over at your house, you were always on your lazy boy, eating those caramel candies that you always gave to me and drinking a Coke. I miss you so much.

Robert, you were my husband for nineteen years. We had a lot of great times traveling here and there. You always teased me about my kidneys being 99 miles and then stop. We loved listening to Ray Stevens on our trips. One time when we were driving to see one of my students, we stopped in Sulpher Springs to rest. You then walked up to the Coke Machine, and you heard, "I am the talking Coke Maching." You almost jumped out of your skin. We laughed about that until the last time your were alert. The guests at our wedding laughed outloud when the pastor said, "Will Mr. and Mrs. Ervin stand up." Your dad started standing up and we just kept kneeling. I could go on and on about some fun times we had during the years. You were so excited when our little girl came into the world. Your feet didn't touch the floor for many days. You and I were so blessed with our lovely daughter. She loved you so very much, and would move Heaven and earth for you. I will miss many things about you, Robert, but I know you are painless, and that has got to be wonderful. In God's grace, Sandra (Sandy)

You were always the best big brother and always there for me.  I love you so much and already miss you.  I know you are not hurting any more now.  Your little brother, Carl
