Robert Harvey Hooper was born May 19, 1960 at Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City, Louisiana. Robert was called home on August 23, 2017 at only 57 years old.
He enjoyed all of nature and long walks in the woods. He adored time spent with his children and grandchildren. He loved reading and had a strong passion for music and the arts. We have to mention how much he enjoyed Blue Bell Vanilla ice cream with caramel syrup. Robert was a Practicing Reiki Master and a strong believer in the benefits of Meditation. He worked most of his life in the family business, but was employed by ARC of Caddo Bossier for the last 11 years where he made a living doing what he loved, being of service to his fellow man. He would not just feed a hungry man, but found great joy in breaking bread with the hungry as well. He had a special way of making everyone feel loved and important. He was a humble, but mighty man whose positive vibrations infected the world around him. Those who knew Robert will always feel the positive impact and influence of the love he shared with everyone.
