In Loving Memory of Robert Brian Hatfield

November 7, 1976 – November 15, 2024

Robert’s life journey began on November 7, 1976, as he was lovingly welcomed into the world by his parents, Louis Edward and Rebecca Faye Hatfield.

Known as “Bobby” in his younger years, Robert was a joyful, fun-loving, and inquisitive child with a sharp wit and an incredible sense of humor. He was an avid reader and a seeker of knowledge, fascinated by all things technology. Whether it was learning random facts or diving deep into tech innovations, Robert had a relentless curiosity. He generously shared his "wealth of knowledge" with family and friends, inspiring those around him throughout his life. His passion for technology led him to a successful career as a Web Designer and App Developer, where he found joy in teaching and mentoring others in tech development.

Robert's kindness knew no bounds. He was deeply loved by all who knew him, and his friends and family would agree that he epitomized compassion and humility. Despite his battle with Glioblastoma over the past 15 months, Robert faced the challenges with hope, strength, and unwavering faith in Jehovah God and the promise of the resurrection. Tragically, he lost his fight and passed away peacefully in his sleep on November 15, 2024, at the age of 48.
