Survivors include wife, Deborah Bassett of Norwood, NC; children, Stacey Donahue (Joey) of Lake Wylie, SC and Dustin Almond of Charlotte, NC; grandchildren, Ryan, Reece, Avery, and Ashlyn; sisters, Debbie Albrecht (Bob Miller) and Sharon Scott (Steve).

Rob was a loving husband who always took care of Deb. He was a caring father to Deb's children, always treating them as if they were his own, and loving on the grandkids like any good Grampy would. Rob loved his country and was proud to have served her in the Army. He considered it an honor to be called a veteran. He also loved being a beekeeper, having grown his hobby over the last years to include 6 hives! When you didn't find him tending to his bees or working on a project at the house, you'd find him camping with Deb - fishing, kayaking, cooking and fire-sitting. It was a blessed life, and he will be dearly missed
