We were neighbors and our kids played together while we would workout.  He always had his OJ & vodka Mix in his pocket.  I was amazed that he would be able to workout while sipping on it.  He never missed a rep or a beat. 

Rest in Peace Mix Master ❤

From the moment I met Rob he treated me like family!  30 years, where did the time go. We all know that we come here to leave one day, but this, is a rough one. It saddens me greatly to see this day come.  But I’m so thankful that he is no longer in pain. He touched a lot of souls during his time with us all. We’re all better people for the love, fun & “Funk”, that he brought everywhere, he went. Music was apart of his very DNA and I was fortunate to have shared that bond with him. Colleen and the boys (actually young men) are going to be ok in time. For now, we are all here for you and if there is ever a need, Please reach out anytime. - Phil “Rock” Sandle Jr. 

I have known Robert (Ching) since he was born. One of my fondest memories is when I kept him, Oly & my daughter,Tiny while Rachel worked. Just a reminder I was only 19 so to keep them in order I would scare them with this toy devil or pull the skin back over my eyes & Rob would be so scared that when he cried it would take a minute for the sound to come out & I would have to pound him on the back. What can I say, I was a child raising children!


My sincere condolences to the family.  May God's peace and your fond memories provide comfort during this difficult time.  My heart and prayers go out to the  family. God's grace and mercy be with you and comfort you  🙏🏾❤

I knew Robert and his family, when they lived in my building in Gardena,  Ca, before they relocated to Vegas. His brother Oly and his family our now my neighbors and has been for many years. I want to send to the family  my sympathy. My heart goes out to you all. Sending ❤ felt🙏🙏🙏🙏

Rob was my buddy and one of my favorite friend when he lived in Los Angeles. He was an awesome DJ. He always rock the house everytime I ran into him doing his thing in the clubs . I'm going to truly miss Mix Master Rob.  Continual prayers for  his beautiful wife and family.  May God bless and keep you in his care.
