We love you forever. You’re stuck with us ❤️
I love you.
Ah how I wish I could hold you and kiss you just one more time. And how I hope you are watching Kiana daily.
I am so glad you picked me as your wife. Lucky lucky me. And thank you for all the life lessons you embedded in me. You may not physically be here but you are very much alive with how you touched our lives, made us better people, and left a world a better place than you found it.
I love you always.
Your wife.

Well, Robert, I’m looking at the dates now and I can’t believe it’s been 9 years since your passing…. And it’s making “your dash” all the more bold.
You are so missed. Yet every time I see your picture or think of you - which is very often - I smile. I wonder, frequently, what you would think of the events that have unfolded both here at home and around the world and I imagine the insightful or sometimes humorous perspective you would share with us to make us feel a bit better, find laughter - or our humanity…. The truth is that the world could use more “Robert Koechlin’s” in it….
I sincerely hope you are hosting the most outrageous parties in heaven…. And that you know how much you’re - still - cherished and missed my friend…
Love you bro,
Stephen
Me and Kiana ❤️
We feel you all the time with us and through various signs. Kiana is all you. I swear it’s like you live in her and I love it.
Not a day goes by without thinking of you and your love and goofiness. Your joy for life and being your best is always inspiring.
We miss you. We love you. Someday, we will see you and hold you again.

Tomorrow is your 50th birthday. Oh how you used to joke about it 5 years ago saying "I'll be half a century old!" and things like "I need to do something about my crows' feet around my eyes." And of course I used to tell you how amazing you are and look and don't need to do a thing. I hope you knew I was right. We miss you. We wish we could plan that France bike ride for you. So many wishes and dreams for this birthday. Most of all, I hope I dream of you tonight and know that you are loved and missed every single day.
I love you always. Kiana loves you too.
Happy birthday in heaven.
It's hard to believe it's been 4 years. There are times it seems like yesterday you were with us and other times it feels like it's been forever.
We had so many fun Thanksgivings in Tahoe and today we are going to honor you by doing our first ski run on Thanksgiving day. I think you made snow potion for us yesterday and dumped some good snow. Now it's blue skies and beautiful day for skiing. Love you always.
This would be incredulous for you to fathom, but I'm quite literally speechless and at a loss of words that it's been 3 years...
What I wouldn't give to catch up with you on everything in life that's ironic, beautiful, laughable, humbling, and hilarious....
Happy Birthday, Bro!
Miss ya, Man...
Stephen
We love you. We miss you. Every second of every day.

From the book: Proof of Heaven
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That and angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those dearly I love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
The thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday
Just even for a while,
I’d say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven’s gates
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, “This is eternity,
And all I’ve promised you.
Today your life on earth is past
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day’s the same way,
There’s no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you’re free.
So won’t you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?”
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.
Love always, Tyson, Holly, Lydia, and Liam Robert (your little namesake).Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Every year on this day, I would make sure you got the longest bike ride that you wanted and always planned something fun and outdoors for you. We miss you so much. Kiana has been talking about you all week. We celebrate your life and greatness again with our 2nd annual neighborhood ice cream social. I love you forever. Kiana loves you forever. You will always be with us no matter when you or we are. I love you.
Nilufer and Kiana
I read a quote somewhere that made me think of you:
"Life is not about days lived ~ But the memories made"
We love you all,
The Walkers
he will be missed.
Sending love and hugs from Colorado.

We love you forever. You’re stuck with us ❤️
I love you.
Ah how I wish I could hold you and kiss you just one more time. And how I hope you are watching Kiana daily.
I am so glad you picked me as your wife. Lucky lucky me. And thank you for all the life lessons you embedded in me. You may not physically be here but you are very much alive with how you touched our lives, made us better people, and left a world a better place than you found it.

Hey Bobby,
Did you feel it yesterday? The love? You must have. So much energy focused on you. I am truly humbled by how much love Nilufer and Kiana have for you and how they have kept your memory alive in everyone. It must be the hardest thing to feel all of the love (and pain) and not be able to hold them. Just know that you are truly missed. I can only imagine how much you want to just grab hold of your beautiful Kiana and just snuggle her. She is growing up to be quite a strong young lady (and she is the smitten image of you more and more each day). Happy Birthday! I hope the thoughts directed towards you made it a bit better.
Happy 51st birthday
My dear Bobby,
Wish we could celebrate with you in person but today is a day the whole world became a better place because you were born. I know you would have wanted some kind of sports equipment or clothes since you hardly ever shopped for yourself. We miss you very much but I personally love to see you live in Kiana.
Until we see you, hugs and love being sent to you daily.
- me and Kiana
Another year missing you
We just skied our first two days in your honor. I remember when Kiana was born and we barely skied that year. You said it was the time when you felt things had really changed in your life from your 20’s when there were no friends on powder days ;) but you also said there was nothing in the world you would rather do than to hold Kiana and spend time with her.
I wish you had more than 5 years with her. But I tell you: you are living in her. She is so much of you in so many ways: temperament, athleticism, goofiness, kindness, and intelligence. I love watching you in her soul.
We love you and miss you. Every day.
