Robert was born to James Dee King and Kathy Ohnes Shaw at San Bernardino Community Hospital. He was named for an Uncle, Robert Martin Shaw. He was the oldest of twins by 15 minutes. He was a fat sweet little baby but we soon discovered he was quite ill with breathing problems. His doctor didn't seem to think it was serious. By the time he was diagnosed with asthma at the age of 3, he had scaring and spots on his lungs. Throughout the rest of his life he suffered the effects. He would get a cold and that would trigger an attack. He was a rough and tumble little boy and that would trigger an attack. He was given allergy tests and those showed he was allergic to olive trees, pets, dust, all kinds of plants, smoke, and countless other things. The doctor suggested putting him in a room with no carpet, curtains, blinds, with just a bed with allergy free mattress, pillow and bedding. He spent a lot of time looking out the window watching all the other kids playing outside. He was prone to pneumonia and spent many weeks in the hospital. None of this slowed him down. He rode bikes, played baseball, built forts with his friends, swam, went fishing, worked, went to school, learned to drive, dated and everything else young men do. At the age of 21 he started having grand mal seizures for unknown reasons. For the next 7 years the seizures became life threatening. We were starting to investigate brain surgery, when he succumbed to an episode of status ecliptics, a state in which the seizure does not stop. Within a few minutes there is brain damage and the brain can no longer send signals to the lungs to breathe. He was alone in his apartment when this happened. Robert was a sweet loving boy who loved his family more than anything. He especially was close to his grandma and would help her not only around the house but helped to manage her diabetes. She passed away in 1989 and he was devastated. If she had been alive his death would have broke my mother's heart. He had a tremendous sense of humor from the time he could talk and walk and had his family and friends laughing all the time. The world is missing a loving caring person and the people whose lives he would have touched will never know his sweetness and kindness.
Thank you, Sheila Chamberlain, for sponsoring Robert's memorial. I'm sorry we have to share the loss of our children.
