Not sure what to say?

I got to know Roberto through a program at Texas Tech (Land Arts, run by Chris Taylor) in 2017. Roberto was kind, had a great sense of humor, and was curious and thoughtful. It was wonderful to see him excel and expand in his studies of architecture. He had so much ambition and drive. It is heartbreaking to hear of his passing-- way too soon. Sending love and best wishes to all of his friends, family, classmates and teachers.

To the family mourning the loss of a Loved one, Robert Becerra you were taken too soon. You had a beautiful heart, I noticed when you were at my Son's house and you'd be grilling something on the grill you'd take great pride in your grilling. Also years ago when you came and made timber log flower beds around my trees and you took great pride. I was so proud of you when Juan told me you had gotten your College DegreeMay you rest in Peace and praying for your family

Thank you.

Rest in peace Robert. I was friends with Robert in high school & he was always so sweet to me. He taught me how to drive standard shift in his white Jeep. He let me drive it all around the bay side of the island, with me almost flipping the jeep over. He just laughed and thought it was the funniest thing ever. He always had a big smile & was such a gentleman. I will always cherish those memories. My deepest condolences to his family. He will be forever missed.
