Robert M. Franklin

Beloved Son and Brotherther

What Robert was like

Robert was a gentle giant. He was a born leader. He our youngest son. He could do anything. He along with his brother Eric played music together. They were both so talented. Eric died just 8 months after Robert. They were always together.

Fondest memories of Robert

Sadly Robert spent much of his young life in jail, boot camp and prison. In boot camp he worked so hard and did so well. Hr enjoyed doing the marching. I loved seeing him happy. If only he could have stayed away from drugs, if only I understood his addiction.

How Robert will be missed

Everything. Watching him play guitar, getting his huge hugs and seeing him smile. You can hear his music along with his brother Eric's on YouTube. I want them to be remembered.

How Robert will be remembered

As a loving person, he would have made a great husband and father. The world lost a beautiful young man. We lost our baby boy.
