Henry County Georgia Man killed in hit and run

Hi, my uncle, Robert Stalter was killed on Saturday September 2nd 2023 by hit and run driver just feet away from his home in McDonough GA. Rob was a double amputee and used his wheel chair to get around. Around 7:00 am on Saturday morning, he left the house with his dog Smoke, for their usual morning stroll and as they were nearing the end of their route, a car approached them, running down several mailboxes, and ran the pair down. Unfortunately, my uncle suffered and was left there to die. His dog returned to the home he shared with his sister (my mom) and his nephew (my brother), on a broken leash. My mom rushed out of the house to find him and found that his wheelchair was at the bottom of the street but didn't see my uncle. Neighbors heard the accident and saw the wreckage and called 911. He lost his life at the hands of someone who didn't even have the decency to stop and see if he was okay.

Rob was loved by so many. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him, spoke with him, laughed with him. He loved fishing, Nascar, and spending time with his family. He loved his dog, and making people laugh. He will be remembered and missed by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him. He did not deserve what happened to him. He didn't deserve to live his last moments in pain and fear. He deserved happiness, peace and the warm embrace of the ones he loved most.
