The family would like to request that everyone who knew Rob please send a story or testimony to [email protected] so Brianna can make a book for the children that they can read and know how special their dad was.

Robert was born on March 23, 1982, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Virginia (Stamm) Milloway.  In 1992, his family moved to Kansas City, Missouri.  Robert spent his school years in the Park Hill school district where he was active in Boy Scouts and later became an Eagle Scout.  While attending Park Hill High School, he was involved in Debate and Forensic, Track, and Wrestling.  He was a compassionate man with an unmatched zeal for life.  His infectious smile affected everyone he came into contact with.

On October 3, 2014, he married Brianna (Riley) Stamm in Denver, Colorado, and their adventure began.  Robert and Brianna loved to travel and spend time with family.  They started their own fiber optic business in April 2016, RS Fiber Solutions.  Robert enjoyed being outdoors and working with his hands, making their business a perfect fit.  He took great pride in his family and was a loving and doting father.  Anyone that knew him, knew how he lit up while talking about his children.  He was also a fiercely loyal friend.  Robert was known for telling silly dad jokes, having the most amazing hugs, and his love for Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.  He constantly walked in the presence of God, seizing any and all opportunities to share his testimony and minister to anyone and everyone he came across.  Robert was a member of Heartland Church in Ankeny, Iowa.  He was very passionate about bringing an end to sex trafficking and was an advocate for the Garden Gate Ranch, an organization that helps rescue and rehabilitate victims of sex trafficking.

Robert was preceded in death by a son, Ezra James and grandparents, Bob and Betty Stamm.  He is survived by his wife Brianna Stamm; two children, Izaiah Lee and Eliza Vee; parents, Charlie and Virginia Milloway; brother, Raynor Milloway and wife Morgan; nephews, Mason and Garrett; and uncles, aunts, and many cousins.
