The following memorial was written by Robert's dear friend Dani... A beautiful way to honour a lost friend!

"
I've been invited to join this pagan group in memory of my lost friend Robert. Just for one second I've been thinking about it because I am no longer linked to paganism in a social way since years from now. But the next second, I have immediately realized that this is for Robert, the friend whom I shared so many views on music and books which made us grow in a philosophycal way and the most important, the experiences we lived together as the friends we were. There were many reasons for us to proudly call each other "brother" besides our common tastes in art. He held a very important support on me in my lowest moments and that's something I could never forget. He never cared about where is was going in my constant changes of paths, ways and moods. He was just there with me, happy to stay next to show me his incredible ability to make me laugh (and believe when I say that that's something few people can get to achieve). Don't misstake it: he was not a joker but actually a very smart and naturally elegant person, with a great sense of humour but also conscious and intellectually worried about social and methaphysical matters which few people understand or cares of. Not like the most, indeed.
Able to think of himself in a critical way, he was awared of his faults and always tried to offset them with a strong possitive attittude towards himself and specially to the others who he liked. I remember his big blue eyes... Anyone who met him would agree that his penetrating gaze was fair, bright and lovely honest. Not like the most, indeed...
We had long conversations on topics such as Nietzsche's übermensch and Wagner's redemption through mercy. He was not stubborn or set in his ways but an open-minded person whose thirst of knowledge lead him through different paths to walk and learn to build him up a solid character, I could quote a few books we shared, like Rahn's Lucifer's Court, The Lightning and the Sun by Savitri Devi or Das Drama Richard Wagners by Houston Stewart Chamberlain, for instance, as well as Wagner's biography and many Nietzsche's works. Concerning music, we used to listen everything from classical and folk to electro and black metal, but those days when we met we were exploring Wagner's works, neo-folk and dark-militia especially.
Life happens and he moved from my city to walk his own path (not a straight one, certainly) but we stayed in touch by phone. The last time that we saw each other I had the chance to
met his beloved Anna whom he happily spent his last years. Unfortunately death also happens and I'll never met Robert again... Not here, at least.
Thank you, Anna, for being the perfect girlfriend for my dear fellow. And thank you for doing all this in his name. I know he would be very proud of you.
These next words are for Robert:

Mi querido amigo... mi hermano...
Ha sido un verdadero honor haber tenido la oportunidad de conocerte y haber compartido tantas vivencias contigo. Nos han quedado algunas cosas importantes por hacer aqui, pero la imprevisibilidad de tu partida lo ha impedido y nos ha privado a todos de la posibilidad de realizar más proyectos juntos así como de seguir disfrutando del regalo de tu amistad. Personalmente siempre te estaré agradecido y me considero en deuda contigo por muchos motivos, más allá de tu ayuda con mi obra; has sido mi fiel amigo y recordarte me llena de orgullo y me entristece a partes iguales. Solo espero y deseo que te traten bien, como tú mereces, allá donde ahora te encuentres, más allá de los límites de lo perecedero. Tú ya has sido liberado de las cadenas de la esclavitud del tiempo, mi querido amigo Robert. Mi querido hermano lobo, corre libre y aulla a los cuatro vientos desde el mundo de los muertos; que volveremos a encontranos y volveremos a reir juntos como siempre, para siempre. Tienes mi palabra, mi querido amigo, mi hermano.."
Dani.
