Rob will be deeply missed. His kindness and generosity were unmatched. Rob’s deep voice and huge laugh, his devoted immense love of beautiful Julie, his always joyful demeanor, and his love of magic and admiration of talented magicians will never be forgotten. Debbie
My Brother saved my life along with the Lord. They had a DNR on my chart and he with Julia fought with the staff at Kennestone Wellstar to revive me after my stroke. I now reside in a nursing home because of him. I will miss him greatly. Lord Bless All !!!

So sorry to hear the news about Rob. I enjoyed working with him greatly, when he had a case at the Recorder’s Court of Gwinnett County. The court system, his family, and the world has lost a great man. Rest in peace Rob! – Randy Rowe (Dacula, GA)
I loved having Rob in my stand-up comedy class many years ago. He had a great sense of humor, was always able to laugh at himself and bring laughter to others. He will be deeply missed.
My friend…. My very close friend… I miss you, and will see you again.
Our hearts are sadden by his lost, but we know he is home and showing everyone his magic. He was a great friend to our family. Rob and his wife hosted my oldest sons 10th bday at their house and it something that he still remembers to this day and my oldest son is 20 years old now. He loved my mother much, she is from Denmark so he always would tell everyone well there’s Karoline the crazy Danish daughter lol. My family and I have known Rob for alot of years, he use to live in the same neighborhood as we do. He was a great person inside and out, he knew how to make someone smile. We are praying for his wife and family, our hearts go out everyone. Love from the Johnson household.
I have so many wonderful memories with my friend. The World Magic Seminar gave us the opportunity to meet and create many memories that I cherish often and especially today. I am truly saddened by the loss of this man with an unmatched personality and kindness that touched every heart and lit up every room for which he will always be remembered for. Stellar guy that I am proud to call a friend.
My staff and I will always have very fond memories of Rob. He was always so kind and a pleasure to be around. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss, Mr. Speer was a good man. He always made us laugh and feel like we were a part of his team. We will miss him and pray God’s peace and comfort cover his family and friends.
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
