Robert McKone Obituary

Robert Wayne McKone, Jr. was born on February 25, 1974 and passed away suddenly on March 13, 2012. Robert was known by many names. He said he could always tell when people came into his life by the name that they used. His family called him Bobby. School friends in Douglas, AZ nicknamed him Twinky after his favorite lunch snack. After they all grew up they switched it to "T" or "Big T". When he first moved to Tucson, friends and coworkers called him Bobby too. If you worked with him now in his professional career, you'd call him Rob. And of course, to many he is known as the "Rowdy One". He was kind, caring, loving, loyal, compassionate and had a personality and energy that could fill a room. If he loved or liked you, you absolutely know it. These are a few things he loved and enjoyed most. Spending time with family and friends. Riding his motorcycle with his brothers from another mother. Meeting and making new friends on biker runs. Riding for charity and helping whomever he could. Music, laughter and the sweet rowdy celebration of life. He was a big, big man but his size paled in comparison to the size of his heart. Two of the rules he lived by were, "Treat everyone as you want to be treated, unless they treat you differently, then act accordingly" and "Everything happens for a reason." One of his favorite symbols was the infinity. He believed that what goes around comes around and has no beginning and no end. The infinity symbols that he designed and wore had slash marks representing life's different stages. Robert was a favorite son, little brother, uncle, godfather, nephew, cousin, brother in law and friend. There are no words big or bold enough to explain how very much he is loved and how very much he will infinitely be missed. Robert is survived by his mother, Margarita E. McKone; sister, Lisa Mckone Altamirano (John Altamirano); nieces, Jerikah and Francesca Altamirano and many, many uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.
