The gin to my juice
Robyn hood, ginger ale, gingivitis, red robo, the list goes on...

A rare breed of ginger, creative & sassy
with a breathless laugh & contagious personality

He would create nicknames for everyone, and made every single person he encountered feel like they were special.

He wasn't here for a long time, but he was here to show us a good time no matter what his current situation was.

I first encountered Robby Rivas in his natural habitat, in the Elsinore high quad with a crowd of kids surrounding him. Robbie was demonstrating what a slow motion sucker punch looked like, making his face squish in slow motion and it was the most accurate & funniest thing I had ever seen.

From then on I always gravitated towards him, he was someone I just always wanted to be around or have draw my stuff.

There was never a dull moment and his mind was incomparable.

He had dreams of traveling the world painting on people's walls whether they wanted him to for it or not.

But he's left us to go to gangsters paradise...

Im sorry we couldn't play that Coolio song on repeat but I think you understand.

I’ll miss your phone calls and your word of the week, even though they were simple words like plural.

You had your life on the right track and were planning for your future. We always talked about the purpose of life and it turns out yours was just gracing us with your presence. Your art, jokes, laughter, and most importantly your weirdness. Thank you for being yourself and not caring about what that meant to other people.

I'll miss so many things about you but I am thankful I have the artworks, videos and voice recordings you left behind to cherish forever.

Your friendship was special to me, and losing you is unfair. But thank you for 13 years of friendship, memories, endless laughter, and for calling me your best friend.

Just know that when I go, you don't need to be sad for me. I will have a solid crew of amazing people waiting for me to arrive.

So in the words of my favorite ginger..

Yadda yadda woopty woo

Kings are gay, LORD ROBO
