He joined the BWI Airport Fire and Rescue Department on November 1, 1995 and served over 23 years as a Driver/Operator. Rob loved being a Firefighter, he was passionate about fitness and his truck, but Rob especially enjoyed giving tours of the firehouse to kids of all ages. He wanted them all to know Firefighters love ice cream!

Rob was well-known in the Catonsville community for coaching soccer and lacrosse in the Catonsville Recreation program for many years. Rob will be forever known for his sense of humor, his incredible work ethic and most importantly, his love for his family.

Private services were held on July 1, 2019 at the BWI Airport Fire Station for immediate family and his fellow firefighter brothers. A “Celebration of Life” will take place at 4 pm on Monday July 8, 2019 at the Elkridge Volunteer Fire Department (5700 Rowanberry Drive, Elkridge, MD). All are welcome and asked to wear your most outrageous Hawaiian shirt, as only Rob would want.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the “Rob’s Island Heart Beep” campaign on GoFundMe, in order to provide AEDs and training to staff at resorts in and around Turks and Caicos.
