I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That’s who Bobby was —brave, gentle, and full of light.”
She goes on to add that while he was restingin his last days, she "read him fan letters from all over the world," which included “words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished.”
“And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes — Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him. He could light up a room with a look, a quip, or one of his classic, one-liners,” she continued.
“To those who truly knew him, Bobby was something much more. He was a man of service. He traded sold-out concerts and magazine covers for the back of an ambulance, becoming an EMT and a trainer with the LAPD. He saved lives. He showed us what real heroism looks like — quiet, selfless, and deeply human,” Brigette concluded.
