This young man was brilliant, ambitious, and loving to all. Robert's parents, Jackie and Chris Walter were so proud of their son. He taught them much. Usually, it is the parents who teaches the daughter or son but not the case here when it came to computers and the future of social correspondence around the globe. Robert Seth knew all and more. Therefore, APPLE wanted him to work for them. Very impressive in sports and an excellent singer. No wonder everyone I've talked with says so many nice things about this young man. May God hold him in the palm of his hand, forever.

Robert as my birthday passes my thoughts are always with you again I hope you and Joe enjoy the beginning of a new baseball season. Life on earth will never be the same but we must hold past close and focus on moving forward. This is a task large in size but again I draw on baseball as a guide. It's game on the line all the world a stage and we will come thru as we always dream. My parents dear friends are watching from above game on line now I have to hit the game winning homer. In short order I will be judged in my closing days of life pray and guide us look over Joes family and enjoy the game. God Bless and pray that my family and Joes family pull thru with grace. Dad

You've been on my mind heavy these past few days not really sure why but I don't mind I keep all our memories close.

But anyways I miss you Robert see you again some day ❤

Jackie,
I am so sorry for your tragedy. I wish I would had a chance to meet your handsome, smart son. He sounds like you raised a wonderful person. The way you talk about him you loved him with all your heart. I do remember holding him when he was a baby. My greatest regret is not keeping in touch with you. I am so glad you have a second son and I am sure with you as his mother guiding him he will turn out to be a wonderful man. I am not a religious person, but I have no doubt Robert is at peace. I am so sorry Jackie for you losing your son. I am sorry I never got a chance to meet this wonderful child/adult. Peg just told me a few days ago. Remember he will always be in your heart and you will always have your memories. Love Shelley McCorkle

My dear son they say it gets easier as time passes, I must be different. I remember when you walked out the door on the night that will live with me forever. Mu played an early game and most times I would have had your car based and checked. That day I did not you said you were out of gas and asked to use our car. The funny thing is I gave you the keys and told you to be home before your mother came back from aunt Gail's. You said as you left thanks dad for all you have done. Looking back would things have been different had I filled your car like I always did. I guess most days I think your at college and you will come thru the door, but it's not happening. I want you to know when you walked out the door and said dad I love you for all you have done would be the last words spoken. Please see this family thru as you and Alec were gifts from God. I will never guit fighting for what is right and proper. I always asked for one more inning from you now I must live by those words. Looking back there's times I just wish I brought you home. The fact is that you made me a better person and I was blessed to be your dad. Martina mc ride wrote the song wild angles and that was you. Life will never be the same till we meet again, they say God takes the best but they don't tell you who he broke. Look after Alec your mom and your dogs too. I will fight 1 more inning like I asked of you.

February 18, 2015

My son its was 7 years ago today that our baseball team made our run to state. I spoke with Kevin jackman and we talked on how your hitting carried us to the title game. That day in Nevada missouri you hit a home run at 405 feet. This had never happened in playoff history for your age group. They sent you out a shirt that said I hit the bomb in Nevada also hung a place. I never thought I could ever be more proude. How wrong I was the day I went to Apple because you needed lunch money I saw you teaching everyone from doctors to lawyers I knew than the eagle had taken flight. In the words of a great man who said its not how long you live but how much you lived your life. The family will never be the same on this Ash Wednesday pray for your mother and brother to, they need you. It was a great honor to be your father and very time I see an eagle or computer or baseball it will bring a little warmth to my heart.

Dear Robert,

My heart aches for you! I miss your energy, love and your beautiful face! It's still a nightmare especially how you passed! Please help your brother his heart is broken as am I!!! Son it's okay to visit me I just want to see you again! I'm forever changed and a part me died when you left me! I miss you so much no one understands truly the pain I feel everyday! It gets worse as time goes bye and I haven't seen you in 15 months! You are truly gone. Life seems unbearable! I'm so sorry for what you endured such an ugly death! Nothing makes sense of how this happened but we will find out why you were there and hold the person accountable! The persons that did not properly light, proper signage and barrier will also be held accountable we have filed a lawsuit and we will erect a building in your name for technology and music for young people who shared your interest! We won't let you die in vain! I love you son please wait for me!

Forever my Love Mom

It's Mom I miss you so much and I don't know quite how to go on. Your in my heart and I always think your with me in spirit everyday! I know the scholarship Fund would be important to you and I will work on that! I can't believe you will be gone Aug 3 one year and that is only 2 weeks away! I still don't know what to do but I want to thank you for making things easier for me! I refuse to think about how you died it's just to painful! I will never be the same! You taught me something and that was to stand up for myself and not let people walk on all over me! I don't put up with any crap anymore like I used to do because of you and like you I don't care if others like me or not! Well August 3rd will be a rough day for me but I do believe you made happen what should of a long time ago and how appropriate on the anniversary of your passing ! Robert you couldn't of made it more clear to me what you wanted for Alec and I and I thank you for that!
I love and Miss You Son and you will never be forgotten ever!
Wait for me!

I missed you Christmas Day Robert! I couldn't buy you Christmas present because you weren't here but we memorialized you not being here!
No one knows the pain I carry inside! Sometimes I sit back and think I can't believe your gone! I sleep with your Apple shirt because I smell you!
I'm so sorry you suffered in that stinking sewage water and drown! I fantasize about being there and jumping in the water to save you but while I was asleep you were suffering a horrific death and I wasn't there to save you! That has always been my biggest nightmare and it came true! It's hell here without you, everyday it hurts more and more! I miss you sooooo much my heart aches so badly! I love you and think of you every second of the day! I will make your name go on!
Love you, you were a great son and I am so proud of you!

Love forever!

We have never met yet after talking to your mom I feel as if Ive known you some time... I was a random stranger at the end of a telephone line. I called your mom about her lawn care of all things lol. We began to talk but I mostly just listened. We talked about when your mom first felt you kick and that first day of school then running out the door with keys. We talked about how smart and talented you were. I had to fight back the tears desperately trying not to sob like I am now.... A life taken to early from a mother that loved her son so very much. I couldnt help but be moved and imagine the pain of losing my own child and the strength it would take to not "check out" but I know your mom has it in her. Thank you Jackie for sharing a piece of your heart with me today and sending blessings to my daughter Hallie and I. If you ever need a shoulder ya know you can give me a call :) Thank you!!!

Will you help Alec he is in so much pain, call upon his angels to help bring him peace! He says he his ready to have you visit him in spirit! He says your spirit will not scare him to please visit him! I don't mind hearing your voice! Alec told me yesterday that when he does his homework it reminds him of you and when he doesn't know the answers , he always thinks if you were here you would know the answer! Can you help him when he needs help with answers !! I love you and miss you soooo much! Can you please let me know if you walked towards the light, I need to know your okay and I know if you could let me know I think I could be okay! You know I haven't been in church and you were an agnostic! I read "Embraced by the Light"and it give me hope! Let me know if the book is true send me a message because I know you are reading everything on the computer! I Love you Sweetheart !!!! Mom!

Landon Peebles

In regards to Robert I wanted to say how much I cared for him, as a friend - a brother figure - and as a person. Robert had an amazing ability to be good at anything he did. School, technology, electronics, photography, singing and the pursuit of making music, his creativity and willingness to try anything were just a few of the reasons I befriended and was best friends with Rob. His sarcastic sense of humor was something we shared, his ability to fit in whilst being totally unique was admirable. From middle school to high school and after we grew up together, if I wasn't at his families house, he was at mine. Jackie was like a second mom to me most of the time. It's hard to say and specify how much I loved Robert and the long, but too short, friendship we shared off of memories and description. When you meet someone you truly relate to, who just gets you, no matter what happens you're both there in the end - a friendship like that is impossible to describe. And Robert was the reason I got to experience that. I will miss him everyday, Love you Rob. You're better off than all of us ;) <3

Robert, you will forever be the three year old boy eating a blue marker 15 minutes before we have to leave for church. Every time I close my eyes I see you this way smiling mischievously up at me as I try to clean you up before your mom comes to pick you up. You are my baby cousin and I will love and miss you forever. I have met many people all over the world but none as gifted or talented as yourself.
I know that you are in a better place smiling down on us all, you are loved and missed.

Love, Cousin Chris

Robert,
I miss soooo much I heart aches! I don't know what to do with myself! I'm in so much pain! I wish we could speak one more time son so I could tell you how much I love you! I saw an Eagle yesterday soaring in the clear blue sky! I know it was a sign from you! I told you were an Eagle and never fly to close to the ground near the sparrows! You were flying and soaring so high! I was proud watching and then you were gone, Sara saw you too! Your time is done on this earth in such a short time of 20 years! I can't fathom life without you but I know you would want me to do the right thing and take care of Alec! He misses you so much! I love you son and pray your in a good place in Gods arms!

Robert was just beginning to reach his stride in life when this tragedy happened. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends. His energy will linger, reminding all of us of his humor and the intensity with which he lived his life.

Mr and Mrs Walter, I am so sorry to hear of Robert's passing. I only met him once, but the impression he left was unforgettable. Robert was my Apple Specialist a month ago. His knowledge, sense of humor, and caring nature was evident in his customer service. We talked about UMKC law school (my husband went to UMKC law), American Idol auditions, music and singing, and how to make sense out of my IPhone 5 and Mac computer. As I finished with my appointment, Robert said that it was a blessing that we got to work together that day. He was partially right, the blessing was that I got to meet Robert for an hour in the Apple Store. Thank you for raising such a special young man. I will continue to pray for your family at this difficult time.

Robert, every time I look out my window I see you walking across my yard. You always had to pay the toll of one hug. I will miss those hugs...but I will be sending you a hug every time I look out. You will always have that special place in my heart. Love Aunt Mary

Chris & Jackie,

Sorry to hear about Robert. Cant imagine losing a child especially at such a young age as he was. It seems that he had a lot in life to look forward to which makes this even more heart wrenching. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this very difficult time.

Love,

Tina, Art & Shirley

My name is Sheila (Rundell) Wheeler. Although I never knew Robert,I grew up in the same neighborhood as Chris and his brothers. When I originally heard about this story I immediately stopped in my tracks when I heard the name, I thought to myself its just another person with the same name since he was in Kansas. When they mentioned his father Chris Walter, I was speechless, but again thought it was a different family. I caught up with another old friend,Brian Acker,who confirmed it was really Chris's son. Chris - I know it has been years (and years) since we saw or spoke to each other,but I am truly truly sorry for your loss.I have lost parents and a sibling, but cant even imagine what its like to lose a child, more so, in this manner. When I looked at the Facebook page Brian told me about and saw his photo it was just like looking at you when we were kids. I know my words cant bring any comfort to you and your family but please believe that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I let my brother Scott know that it was your son also since he thought the same as I did when we first heard,and he too was just saddened. I hope I am able to attend the services so I can see you again but if not I hope we are able to cross paths again someday. God Bless you and your family.

"Robert, I've held in my sorrow for quite a while. Not sure why! You left us so quick. I didn't have much time to tell you! Suddenly you are gone and missed. I wasn't ready to let you go.. You were a gift from God and I know you will be well taken care of. You will always be in my heart and thoughts..." Love, Aunt Sharon

I want to give my deepest condolences to Robert's family for their loss. I can't imagine what you all must be going through and feeling. Robert was my closest and best friend and living the rest of my life without him in it will be the hardest thing I will ever have to do. I will miss seeing him at work everyday, getting into trouble with him, going to gay pride with him, and hanging out with him. We were always there for each other and I will miss our talks. We both knew more about each other than anyone else. He will forever be in my heart and memory. I miss you Robert but I know you are in a better place now. Say hi to Steve Jobs for me!
