Rob Foxx from Connecticut never got a chance to feel the Florida Keys sun on his face, nor the ocean breeze while standing in Key West, even though he always dreamed of it.
He died a year ago on March 3rd of cancer at age 41, and now, a year later, his biker buddies decided they needed to make one last trip with the friend they loved.
“He was 18 years old and mountain climbing when he fell,” Scott Adams, one of his friends, said for FlKeysNews . “He was paralyzed from the waist down. He used to say, ‘I’m not handicapped, I’m just in a wheelchair.’ ”
This accident didn’t stop Robert Eugene Foxx, born Dec. 28, 1975, in Middletown, Ohio, from having a wonderful, fulfilling, active and productive life. His friends say he was adventurous and never feeling down or depressed. They felt like they simply needed to go on this trip with him.
