Rob…what a wonderful friend and neighbor who made us laugh and was always there for us! We enjoyed many conversations and discussions ! We cannot express how our hearts hurt for his family!

Blessed are those who morn, for they shall be comforted. 🕊Our hope, our joy, comes from God who promises eternal life through His Blessed Son Jesus 🕊

Rest in peace✝️

Deepest sympathies to Rob’s family. We were backyard neighbors for just a short time. He was always there playing ball with the kids and working on the yard. May you Rest In Peace. You will be missed.

Sincere sympathy to Rob’s wife and children, his mom and siblings. I regret at a time like this (the list of such a wonderful caring young man) that I am not in Monaca to pay my respects in person. However, I will always cherish the memory of seeing him in November and getting to talk to him after all these years. He was then as he always will be in Heaven a fabulous young man. RIP Rob you have definitely earned in your short lifetime your Angel wings and more. Anyone who ever knew you was blessed to have had that privilege.

I was so saddened to hear of Robbie’s passing. As a downtown neighbor you couldn’t help but like Robbie. I recently ran into him at Rural King and he talked about his wife and each of his children and how proud of them he was. And as we were catching up, he told me about his mom, brothers, sister and his Johnson Control job and the friends he had at work. He truly loved his life and the people around him. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Dear Alissa and the entire McKeel Family ~ We are heartbroken to hear of Rob's passing. He was a good man who loved his wife and his family. May the loving memories you hold in your heart bring you comfort and peace in the days ahead. Our Deepest Sympathy.

Please accept my sincere sympathy. I taught Robbie in school, and I was heartbroken to hear of his passing. He was such fun to be around. I enjoyed him so much. When you are a teacher, some students make a lasting impression. Robbie was one that made such a strong and lasting positive memory. I’m sorry that I am out of town and unable to stop by in person. May he Rest In Peace.

Deepest sympathy to the McKeel family.

Planning ahead is prudent. Call us now.

I worked with Rob on many occasions over the last 2 years. He was very philosophical, and taught me to always put family first. He once stopped me on a late day to remind me that a job is only for money, and that going home to your family is the most important part of the day. I will carry that piece of his wisdom with me forever. My condolences to the family, I’ll keep you in my prayers. Rob will always live with us through our memories.

Rob was a fantastic co worker and person. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. We will continue to pray for him and the Mckeel family during this difficult time. Got bless.

Steve and FamilyI am truly sorry for your loss. Robbie was a great person. You are in my thoughts and prayers.Jeff Propst
