He was the longhaired redhead in the defunct band Davey Jones' Locker. According to his facebook, friends, and wife, he commited suicide. This fucking sucks. Why the hell is everyone dying right now?!??

ReplyDeleteCould you please tell me what happened? I was a friend of his from Los Angeles and hadn't heard anything until I saw his myspace page. you can email me at alisonrising@att.net
ReplyDeleteRobbie was a unique individual-intelligent, outgoing, funny and kind-a true heart of gold. His friends & family will continue to miss him dearly-for rarely will we meet someone so honest and full of good intent. His musical talent realized, Mortuus Intra, his band, is continuing his work and the metal sound is astonishing. Robbie's heart was broken by news the night before. He was, perhaps, saved from a life for which he would not have been suited to endure. We hope he has found peace of heart & mind. We'll miss you forever, Robbie.
ReplyDelete-A tribute to you from all who have been honored to know you & love you.
Saved from a life he would not be suited to endure? I highly doubt that suicide ever saves anyone from anything. It is tragic and heartbreaking, and he left a beautiful life behind him.
ReplyDeleteRobbie was gifted young man who posessed an exceptional rapport with everyone he met. He was an articulate, open, subtle and sensitive soul. He looked forward to his life ahead and focused his energies on becoming an insightful, loving husband and an exceptional talent with his band.
ReplyDeleteEach of us, in our lifetime, will be confronted with life altering situations not of our making. Such situations may lack any opportunity to for us to affect a change that will allow the happiness we have to continue.
Insecurity, anger, fear of loss, a desperate need for affirmation, a plea for recognition of our value to another- that we're wanted - we will reach out to the person closest to our heart.
Will you be there for your loved one? Will you respond to their plea? And they for you? We have an opportunity to come closer and learn something vitaly important from Robbie's sudden loss.
We can live our lives more cognizant of how tenuous the fine line of endurance for emotion pain can be. If the significant person in your life does not respond or wish to respond when you're in a desperate way, make a pact with a close friend to be available for each other no matter what. Let them know you'll be there for them - and you need to count on them just the same. Talk about it- remind them- joke about it if you need to- just make sure it's clear you are their additional lifeline.
This is very important- it must become second nature to each of you.
Robbie touched each of our lives in some wonderful and memorable way. We can make this pact as a loving gesture in honor of him. Please: encourage your family and friends to do the same.
Its unfortunate that Robbie didn't reach out for help.
ReplyDeleteRobbie did reach out for help. He reached out to his wife. He should have reached out to his friends when his wife ignored his pain and anguish and calls.
ReplyDeleteThis is his wife, and I have a good idea who you are as well. Robbie and I had an argument over the phone and when things were heated I hung up the phone like we always did. I left my room to show my friend the house I was getting for Robbie and I and went to the store to buy chocolate and other things to make myself feel better. I wasn't home to receive the calls. Do you honestly believe that if I knew that my husband was thinking about ending his life I would just turn my back? Who does that? I did call him back, about an hour after I had left but he never answered. I didn't get his messages on my phone until after the funeral.
ReplyDeleteNow let me ask you something. Have you ever gotten into a fight with your significant other? Have you ever gone through a rough time in your marriage or relationship? If you say no, then your a liar. And how many times did you have to walk away from the argument or hang up the phone or leave the house to calm down? Would you ever have thought that your loved one was contemplating something like that? You probably would have thought the same thing that I did. That the two of you needed a break, to calm down and then to talk things over once you weren't angry anymore. Robbie never once said anything to me over the phone to indicate that he was thinking about ending his life so I thought it was just another rough patch. Just like you would have.
Robbie loved me very much. Not only were we married but we were best friends and we told each other everything. He cared about me very deeply, and I guarantee that if he can see the way that you are behaving and treating his wife then he is furious. Have some respect. Do you have any idea what it is like to lose the love of your life? Do you know what its like to have to live with the fact that your last words to one another were words of anger? No. You don't.
Have some respect and if not for me then do it for Robbie.
I was just surfing the internet and stumbled on this site. I will be the first to admit, I have no place in commenting. However, from the outside looking in, it is very obvious that this site should be about celebrating Robbie's life. I do not know this young man, but perhaps further posts should include good memories, rather than the "whys" or "what-ifs."
ReplyDeleteI miss my son every day. He provided so much knowledge, fun and humour in our lives. I regret that I will not grow old with him. It is difficult to raise a son from an infant to an adult, overcoming all the challenges and obstacles of life, only to have it all end suddenly. Robbie helped define who I am and what my meaning in life is. He was with us 21 years and it was just not enough time.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that it is right for ANYONE to blame anyone in this situation.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened was tragic, yes. But what Robbie did was HIS choice. NO ONE has the right to blame his wife, or anyone else for that matter.
Everyone fights. I fight with my boyfriend sometimes. I can't name one couple that DOESN'T fight. Love is not like it is in the movies, nor are relationships. They're hard. Fights happen. People hang up on each other, and say things that they don't mean.
But I can guarantee you this. If his wife had known what he was going to do, or even thought it was a possibility, she would have NEVER EVER EVER gotten off of the phone with him. She loved him so much, and he loved her the same. It is selfish to blame her, who is hurting just as bad as everyone else, for a choice he made. Everyone should be THERE for each other, not against each other. It is so difficult to watch friends turn their backs on each other, when what they need is to become stronger, for Robbie.
I just changed the comment settings on here so that people can't reply anonymously anymore and I have to approve a message before it's posted. I would like to extend my apologies go out to Robbie's father, wife, and friends, for not having done so earlier.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the arguing on here is over with. I won't be allowing offensive or argumentative posts to made.
May Robbie rest in peace. He was a good man and I am honored to have known him for the short time that I did. You all have my condolences. My prayers and thoughts go out to all of you.
May God bless and protect you all,
Timothy Adams
