Roberto was born on December 8, 1947, in Managua, Nicaragua into a family of 13 siblings to Ruben Echaverry and Rosa Echaverry. He believed in Jesus Christ and considered himself a Christian.
He attended medical school in Leon, Nicaragua at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua, (UNAN) in 1975 and graduated as a pediatrician. He established a successful medical practice in Jinotega, Nicaragua and was appointed as the medical director of the hospital in Jinotega.
In the mid-80s, he decided to move to the United States due to the civil war in Nicaragua. Once in the United States, he continued to practice medicine and established a practice in Miami, Florida.
Roberto was lovingly given a nickname by his children of “The Old Man.” Roberto enjoyed the sport of boxing and would love having his family and friends over for boxing nights and dinner. He enjoyed dancing and was never shy to be the first one on the dance floor. He was an unselfish and kindhearted individual that refused to close his medical practice during the pandemic.
