My condolences to Roberts family.  I met  Robert when he was around five years old that’s when my granddaughter Rosemary Chavez met his  dad Eddie Zapata.  I immediately accepted Robert as my great grandson  and part of the family.  He was so quiet and polite.  Turned out to be a handsome young man and now he will be laid to rest with some of his favorite family members may God bless you. 🙏❤️Great grandma Rachel

My name is Renee Rosemary's cousin. 
My memories of Robert are the Holidays .
When we would all gather as a big family . I remember his hugs . He was a little guy so cute! No matter how long it had been since we gathered he would always come up to me with a big hug and knew i was his cousin 😁❤. He was always a sweet polite little guy.
I want to give my upmost condolences to all the family that are grieving . Life and death is not ment to be easy . With it comes healing&strength . May god heal every broken heart and bring comfort. Every long night comes the sun of morning. May God have his healing hand upon you all. I pray for Roberts mom . May god have you in his arms. "God will not give us more than we cant handle". 🙌💪❤

Robert was only 5 years old when I first met him.  I remember feeling nervous and excited. I just wanted him to like me. I walked into his dad Eddies house and saw Eddie on the couch, and I looked at him like "where is he?" and Eddie turned his head and whispered behind him to someone and the cutest little boy popped his head out from around his dad and with the biggest smile he said" Hi "and just kept smiling🥰 he was shy but lovable and from that moment on he became part of my heart, my life, and my family. There are so many memories I have watching him grow up that I cannot possibly fit it all on this page but the one memory that I will always hold on to are his hugs in his smile. Those were the best. Robert loved everyone especially his mom Leticia his dad Eddie, his whole family, but when he hugged me that's when I new how much he loved me. He always gave me a big bear hug,  would hold on tight for a long time, and never left without saying "love you"... I know I did not carry him and I did not bring him into this world but from the first moment I met him I have loved him and always will love him as if I did. That will never change.  Words cannot express the heartbreak I feel inside. Some might say that it has left a hole in their heart but I would rather say that no matter what that spot in my heart belongs to Robert and always will forever I will not let him go.  
 Robert I love you so much and I miss you. I thank you and God for allowing me to be a part of your life. You are such a beautiful soul and like the song goes " I hope your dancing in the sky. I hope the angels know what they have" 
I know you are walking with your grandparents and little Max, and on the day god calls me home, I will meet you there, hug you and walk with you again. I love you mijo forever ❤

When Robert was a baby, his grand father gave him a baby blanket & Robert gave it to my son KING!!! Robert loved my son King!! King still sleeps with this blanket every night & FOREVER WE WILL CHERISH IT!! THIS IS FOR LETICIA , SUSAN , PRISCILLA , ELIJAH AKA ( ROBERT'S OTHER HALF )👼 I'M SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR LOVED ONE (BIG ROB) .. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH IT HURTS... BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT , THIS ISN'T A FOREVER GOODBYE TO ROBERT.. BUT A SEE YOU LATER ROBERT IN HEAVEN...  👼🙏🙌💯  ROBERT WILL BE MISSED TREMENDOUSLY!! AND HIS MEMORIES WILL STAY ALIVE .. HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN & I WANT TO DEDICATE A SONG TO ROBERT..( DANCING IN THE SKY & IF I COULD ONLY IMAGINE, TEARS IN HEAVEN ) 👼🙏WE LOVE YOU, MIJO ROBERT🙏👼.. RIP ROBERT JOSEPH ZAPATA
