Simply put, Robbie was one of the kindest, most respected guys I grew up with in Clarksdale. He was a heck of a pitcher in baseball and extremely respectful of everyone from players to coaches to parents. Praying for the McNeer Family. Rest in peace my friend!
Gone much too soon. Thoughts and prayers for all the family.
I met Robbie when I was 16 years old. We became fast friends. We have been apart of each others weddings, seen births of each others children, and spent weekends with our families multiple times over the years. Robbie’s smile lights up a room and he gives the best hugs.
I know God has a Beautiful Angel now!!!
Love you Big Robbie
