Dear family and friends,
We would like to share our story with everyone and asking for support for our loved one. On Good Friday April 10, 2020 Stephon Robert Easterling affectionately known as, “Baby Rob” or “Robbie” received his heavenly wings in his mother’s arms after a long heroic battle of Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. DMD is a rare fatal disease affecting 1 in every 3,500 male births worldwide in the U.S. It is characterized by progressive degeneration and weakness of skeletal and heart muscles due to lack of protein called dystrophin that help keeps muscle cells intact. Overtime problems develop such as, walking, ability to use limbs, swallowing, breathing, intense pain in the body, and eventually the heart muscles stop working. Although with this illness kids don’t live beyond their teens, his death was sudden and unexpected. Rob fought his disease for 10 years with fearlessness and courage. He never complained or had a negative attitude in spite of his illness. Rob was an inspiring person; anyone would be honored to call him son, grandson, nephew, cousin, or friend. Those who knew him even just a little lost a shining light in their lives.
Rob has a brother,unfortunately that has the same fatal disease and physical limitations. In order to safely provide for his care a handicapped accessible van is needed to transport him to and from Rob's memorial service.
We would like to have a memorial, but due to Covid-19 a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. We could use your help with anything you can give to provide a special memorial for a special person. Rob will be loved and missed dearly. May his beautiful soul rest peacefully. Thank you in advance for all of your support, kind words and messages. We are forever grateful.
