Our Friend, Robert Loucks passed away on 08/22/2022. We’ve never had a proper farewell for him as a celebration of life , but we are organizing a celebration of life (a get-together with his friends). If you like to come by and say farewell to an old friend and share stories, I am sure Robert would have loved it. This get-together will be on August 19th at Old Tom’s NFL located in Miami Springs NW 36 ST at 7:00pm. For Rob, see you there!
It is with great sorrow that friends and family announce the passing of, Robert James Loucks Jr, long time resident of Miami Springs. He left this world suddenly on August 22, 2022, at the age of 48.
Robert grew up in Miami Springs spreading joy and laughter to all who knew him as a young adult. He was known for being part of the comedic duo “Robert and Carlos”. The two of them hosted the MSSH Morning News during their high school years at Miami Springs Senior High. Robert and Carlos competed in drama competitions throughout the state of Florida, winning multiple Outstanding Achievement awards for their pantomime. They were
innovators in using video to capture and create humorous stories that engaged the entire school, including teachers and administrators. Robert was a central part of social gatherings and always had a joke to tell or a hug to give.
After graduating from MSSH in 1992, he went on to earn his Masters of Social Work and became a Licensed Clinic Social Worker in the State of Florida. His specialization was counseling teenagers who suffered with severe addiction and substance abuse. He served the South Florida area for over 10 years.
A memorial will be held in Miami Springs and announced at a future date.
Editor’s Note: As a classmate of Robert’s, we were deeply saddened and surprised to hear of his loss. He was always a fun and friendly individual that loved to make you laugh. We pray the Lord gives Robert’s family the strength they need during this difficult time. I hope they know Robert left a fond memory in the hearts of so many.
For those who don’t know, Robert Loucks and Carlos Mendoza were a comedic duo at Miami Springs Senior High. The duo always pulled off the best skits on stage. They always made the entire auditorium roar with laughter. Even the school administrators couldn’t resist laughing from the comedic performances. In addition, the comedy duo were well ahead of their time with creating comedic video sketches. These guys created viral videos back in the early ’90s.
Rest In Peace Robert!
