While Robbie was an incredibly selfless individual, he was also an incredibly laid back
individual as well. When not playing sports, Robbie would most certainly be found playing video
games with his friends. If you did not know where Robbie was at the time, you knew as soon as
you heard yelling from what the Roper family called Robbie’s “Xbox Room”. Robbie loved
being at home with his family relaxing. Robbie loved being at home so much so in fact, he often
joked with his sister about moving to Ole Miss with the family, so he could play collegiate
football for the Rebels with his mother and father watching in the stands, and then have a short
drive home for dinner and laundry. Robbie loved his family to pieces as well. Almost nightly,
Robbie and his mother and father would be watching movies on the couch with their dog Biscuit.
Robbie was constantly putting others before himself, going out of his way to make someone’s
day a little brighter, a characteristic that embodies who Robbie Roper was as a person.
Robbie was also an incredibly competitive individual as well. Robbie and his sister grew up playing sports together, as well as going to each other’s sporting events any moment they could. Growing up in a competitive household, with a sister and mother who played collegiate athletics, definitely played into the competitiveness and drive that Robbie had acquired. Many of the family’s favorite memories with Robbie include playing kickball in the cul-de-sac, playing Mario Kart on the Wii, or playing board games such as Monopoly or Clue. No matter what was being played within the family, Robbie was incredibly competitive.
