  • Rob will be sorely missed by all his family. As a loving husband to Rebecca and a father to Robby and Aaden, he demonstrated the affection and love he had been given by his parents, sister, relatives and church family. As a soldier, he strove to insure the mission was accomplished with minimal problems and maximum efficiency. He was a superb teacher, mentor, counselor and friend to his subordinates and peers. We have been told he was the finest Lieutenant in his battalion by those who should know. He was my sounding board and I was his. We talked about his duties as a soldier, leader, father and husband; duties he fulfilled exceptionally. He is loved and will continue to be in our hearts forever.

    Robert Welch II, Father
