Please keep the family of Lt. Robert Cooney in your thoughts and prayers. Rob was a 20-year veteran of the St. Louis Police Department and died from a fall at his home this week. Services were held yesterday.
Rob worked a dangerous job doing high-risk search warrants and commanded the department's Mobile Reserve, K-9 and Hostage Rescue units. He received three chief's commendations and two meritorious service citations for valor during his career with the police department.
He leaves behind a wife, two young children, brothers, a sister, parents, and many other grieving friends and family. I grew up with Rob. He led an exemplary life both on and off-duty. We will miss him.

Thank you for the mentioning of our brother, he is already missed by our family and his friends. We know we will see him again another time.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

We will never get over this loss-still seems like a terrible dream. But, because we have faith in Christ, just as our sweet friend Bob did-we can only take comfort in knowing we will someday see him again. We all hope that somehow Bob knows how wonderfully he touched each one of us in this life. Thanks for the opportunity to share these thoughts!

Thank you Angela.
ReplyDeleteRob will always be my idol. He was everything a man should be.
Everyday is a struggle dealing with the how and why... It is hard to take when a man this good s taken so early.
We can only trust God and look forward to seeing him on the other side.
Imagine the company he has... his grandfather and Uncle Bob. I am sure they have been talking shop and watching over all of us.
Thank you again.
Love,
Dwayne
