“I’m not even sure how to write this post and I hate that I have to share this news with our many mutual friends,” said Collin Cottrell in a Facebook tribute to his friend’s passing. “Our great buddy Robert Hoague has passed away. I’m still I shock. Damn it, man. It hurts. He was an amazing friend, mentor, hunting partner, drinking and eating buddy, teacher, and so much more. He was the grandpa I never had growing up.”
If you knew Robert, he was so unique and one of a kind. He made the kind of impact on my life that I can’t even express in one post but will continue to share with others for the rest of my life.
We had many talks over the years and I’m grateful to know that he knew Jesus.
I’ll see you again, someday soon. I love you, buddy.
As our friend Ted Nugent would say, in the wind, he’s still alive.
