On May 1, 2004, he married Tammy Lynn Card Kotsch, who survives in Big Sandy. Robert was an avid churchgoer at TVCC, a fisherman, and a nature lover. He and Tammy always looked forward to their next adventure together and loved camping, traveling, boating, and being as far south as possible. He never hesitated to stop and help someone in need from strangers to animals. His laugh was big and it was contagious. He was dearly loved by his friends, family, and anyone he crossed paths with. He will be greatly missed.
