Wow !
Here I am again 
Can’t stop counting the years 
Tears bring me some relief 
Listening to Al Green sing
‘How can you mend a broken heart?’
I have no answer 
Till then 
Love you more,
                        Mercy

On this day you left....you are always in my ❤️

Today 
I have you in my thoughts 
In my head, the memories 
In my heart, the hurt, the tears I keep to myself 
Miss your laugh, quick comebacks,
And the silliness of it all 
Today would have been a good day 
A happy birthday to you 
Miss that 
Love you more
                           Mercy

I will forever miss you 
Love you more , Mercy

Another year ...Your birthday is today & I'm still here... miss your jokes miss your laugh ...Miss you 
Love you more 

Remembering you today on your birthday. I wanted to go by where we left you, but I know you are not there.
Your light is everywhere. 
I see it when I see your mom. I feel it when I talk about you. Keep shining your light on your mom, your girls, and all of us who love and miss you...till then I will just keep "chasing rainbows" and dancing to "atomic dog".




Robin, Thank you for our beautiful daughters.  They still talk about you as if you're still here.  I'll make sure the little ones remember you, I promise.

My name is Mardene Mendoza. I am a friend of "Smokeys" from junior high school. I had been in touch with him off and on over the years since the late 1970s I just found out he passed away. At first I was In disbelieve and said no, we need to confirm Its the right person. They said he was a fire fighter.  I knew then it had to be him. I reached out to a couple of the friends that Smokey grew up  on Market Street with  and they had not heard  either. It makes me really sad I missed his services!! My heart goes out to his wife, his mother his brother Christopher, his little sister and all of his children. He was a very good man and  a awesome father! I will remember Rob (Smokey) in my prayers and he will remain in my heart forever.  RIP Smokey, You will be missed! 

I know I have already posted a comment but since I dont see any limitations I have more I would like to share this man should never ever be forgotten he gave so much of himself unselfishly to so many people many of which he never even knew I read the comments here posted by his family he was truely loved by so many and he earned a lot of respect his dedication to his children and his job as a fire captain is what made him an amazing human being they must have needed a special angel and he was chosen our loss was for a reason he is now watching over all of us and guiding those  that need help I believe he is continuing to save lives so when u feel I miracle happen u will know it was robin that made it happen we cant see him but he is far from gone.

My big brother Robin. Not a moment goes by that I don't think of you. Growing up you have been my guide, my mentor, my protector and my friend. You've always been there when I needed you in any situation big or small and without you my life will never be the same. I will always hold dearly and close at heart the times we spent together. I will miss our brief calls or the 5 minute visits just checking on eachother as brothers do. I will miss you dearly my brother and will carry you in my thoughts and heart everyday. I love you brother, Until I see you again.

Your brother always,
Chris

My uncle Robin was a great guy, he cared about his family and would always bring light of the worst times. Whenever there were tough times you could count on him to crack a joke to make us smile. I'm gonna miss him but I know he's with grandpa and they're both watching over us. There's no replacing either of them, but there's always the memories we shared with them and they're in a special place our hearts. 

Rest in peace Robin

Love, 
your brother-in-law
Joe


To my son Robin, whom I love very much. He was a son any mother would be proud of. He not only remembered me on Mother’s Day, but every day of his life. He knew no stranger, when they needed his help he was there to give support full of encouragement and compassion. There to guide them the believe in themselves for a better future. Even when he was in danger, he would put another person’s life ahead of his own. 
 
I will miss you very much.

Love always,
Mom

Our lives will forever be changed, our hearts a little heavier but memories of you will always make us all smile. You were the best brother in law and you  were always  there for us. Letting us throw parties and get togethers at your house was always a fun adventure with you. You will always be my little cupid for introducing me to Chris, thank you. I never knew meeting you at the swap meet 28 yrs ago would change my life in so many ways. All for the good. With you jokes and love we all enjoyed and cherished your crazy ways. You will always be missed, loved and in our hearts. 
Love you Robin!
Your sister in law forever,
Frances

Robin, you ALWAYS brought laughter and love when ever we were together. Thank you for always showing Anayah so much love. We are so truly honored to call you our cousin.  You will never be forgotten  and always loved. Forever in our hearts. Ride easy in heaven with my grandma. ♡♡♡♡

Love always, 
Chula and Anayah

To our family in San Diego, may you find peace and comfort knowing that grandpa and Robin are together now and are resting in peace. 
Rest in peace little brother and uncle from your family in Sacramento 

Robin,  no words can express how broken I feel & the pain in my heart.  We had our good &  bad times. We shared laughter & tears, had our many talks. You were always straight with me & never  gave up. I watched you grow into an outstanding & amazing person. You are a special man. You did great things.  Dog,  you weren't just my cousin, you are a brother to me. Thank you for sharing & including me in your life.  I will always love you & I will forever miss you. You will always be with me. In your daughters,  I will see you. I will never say good bye. I will continue this lonely life,  until I see you again. Give my mom a hug for me. Dog, you did it your way. Rest now & be at peace.

Love  you forever, 
Vero

Wishing strength and peace to all family and friends during this hard time.

Cousin, our journey in this life was far and few, however never forgotten. You had a personality that can not be replaced, duplicated or repeated....yup you’re one of a kind. People were drawn to your humor....and yes that runs in our family. To know of your accomplishments makes me so so proud, first being a great DAD, loving your family and knowing you accomplished what you spoke of when you were a young man.  And STILL serving to the end. Saving 4 people’s lives. You have inspired me to follow in your path of also donating my organs. But I’ll be lucky enough if they’ll use any of mine tho...kidding aside...in my eyes you are a trailblazer.
 
Cousin - Blessing until we meet again....💕

Robin 
I already miss you
I remember every time you saw me with my sister you would say 
"Ay vienen las viejitas" and give me a big hug 
Wait, this viejita will be there soon
I love you 
               Aunt Angie 

I remember when Cousin Robin was born as I was 11 years old. Such a cute little guy that I loved to hold!  Every Sunday the family would get together at Our grandparents house and all us cousins would play together. Those are moments I will treasure! 
I lost touch with my fathers family over the years and I’m so thankful we’ve been able to reconnect. At Uncle Martin’s celebration of life I visited with Robin and he introduced me to some his beautiful daughters. He was so proud of all his daughters and we promised to get together.  
Talking to his family and fire family made me proud to say this amazing man is my cousin ❤️  
Rest In Peace my dear cousin!  You touched so many lives and will be greatly missed!
Love Cousin Vicki

We've always held family as the most important part of life. But growing up that meant our sisters and our mom. Robin was the one who opened our eyes to seeing how blessed we are to have so many beautiful cousins. He would tell us it's up to us to keep the family together. We took for granted the times we would see Robin because we were so sure we would see him again. We love you Robin and thank you for the greatest lesson of all. Your laughter lives on in our hearts forever. ❤

Gone too soon! The last time I saw you at Uncle Martin’s celebration of life, we talked about getting together under happier circumstances. I was looking forward to getting reacquainted after everyone going their separate ways in our adult lives. I will forever cherish the fun times we had with all the cousins growing up together and playing at our grandparents home. I enjoyed listening to the stories from your fellow firefighters, hearing how successful you were in your dream career. Rest In Peace cousin! 
Love, Kimberly 

Dear uncle Robin,
As I have grown up with a man like you in my life I have always noticed a gentleman, an honest man, and one who always had faith. I have seen first-hand how great you were with my little cousins. Vitamins in the morning, pray before we ate, and I have to say you were the ultimate hairstylist! 
Spending time with you was something I always looked forward to. If I had a bad day all I had to do was call and you answered. You have been such a loving uncle to me. Always protected me and gave me the best advice. I’m going to miss our car rides, our conversations, the nights we both stayed up late while I did my homework and you worked on your own tasks. Your invented-meals were the best during those nights! 
I remember there had been a day when I was trying to put makeup on in the morning , I told you because I needed it and you replied with “But why, makeup is for clowns.” I couldn’t help but think to myself “only my uncle Robin!” 😌
I’ll never forget the day I earned my associate's degree I was so excited to send you a picture of me in my cap, I felt proud checking off one of the goals you wrote down for me. Telling me you were proud made the moment that much more special. I told you several times that you were expected to be there when I earned my bachelors, you told me you wouldn’t miss it and I know you’ll be there in spirit ❤️ 
I told my brother, that I hope one day he can be the type of uncle you were to me, to my own daughter one day. 
Love Always,
Your favorite niece/Avatar/ Tree

Dog,
After wiping away my tears that don't seem to stop, I can see clearly that there will always be another day, but it will be without you. I feel incredibly blessed to have been a part of your life. 
A supportive, strong cousin that showed up in good times and in tough times. The last time we were together, we cried so much, but through it all, we found something that made us happy, and we laughed & laughed. 
I will miss you forever. I love you and I am so grateful to have had you in my life. 
Til then, love you more.
- Mercy

God bless my Tia, the girls, and all the familia. I'm here if you need me.

I will always cherish the childhood memories of all of us cousins growing up together. From running from the tumbleweeds  to breaking my toe riding a big wheel because Robin pushed me too fast down the hill.  We had a lot of fun as kids.  So nice to finally meet all of Robin’s kids and see how they each have a bit of their dad in them.  You all had a very special dad. So proud of all that my cousin accomplished in his life.  We may not have seen each other much in our adult lives, but  he was  and always will be very special to me.  I’m sure he is with Uncle Martin up in Heaven.  He will not be forgotten.  Rest In Peace, cousin . Love, your cousin, Karen

Dear Robin..my life will be incomplete now that your not here.There is a gap in my heart. We once were very close. Life took us in different  directions. I remember as kids we spent alot of time together at grandma and grandpa's house. Mercy ,Vero,you  and I. You were such a travieso...so proud of who you became. Our grandparents called you Pa'jaro. Now you can see them again. Until we meet again...fly Robin fly. Love you. Always in my heart!

My Tio Robin always knew how to make me laugh. He was the life of the party and had so much love to give. I am going to miss the sound of his voice always making jokes and laughing, his advice and his hugs. I love Tio. 

On behalf of my father Ricky Cervantes and family we are deeply sorry for your lost Monique, Nadia and little ones. We share with you this tragic time. May God give you all strength to overcome this time. Please know that even though we only saw each other very few times we are here to support you as family that we are. Your dad was a true hero and his memory will always be alive in our hearts, we will always remember his charisma, jokes and bright smile he had. Much love from Ricky, Rosa, Rosie, Jose and family Cervantes. 

I knew rob for over 20 years my best friend lived across  the street from him  what impressed me most about rob  was his love and dedication  for his children he had seven beautiful daughters whom  he adored  I loved watching him play with the little ones in the front yard they loved him so much my heart really aches for his family rob really made his life count for something he touched so many hearts helped so many people . I would like to say to his entire  family I am so sorry for your loss he was a great man and will be missed by so many people. 

I will miss my good friend, I have such good memories with Rob , he was such a good friend of mine and a good friend to me God bless him and God bless his family
