Born on November 4, 1970, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, to David Hughes and Dorothy (Godlewski) Ditzler , Robert spent his early years in Kenosha, where he attended school.
He loved spending time outdoors, especially when he was fishing—one of his favorite pastimes. He had a special place in his heart for animals.

Robert leaves behind his son Tristan, daughter Krissandra, grandchildren, his mother Dorothy, father David, his brothers Scott and Rick, and his brother-in-law Andy.

Dorothy, David, Rick, Scott, and Andy, I’m so sorry to hear of Robs passing. I have so many great memories of him and all of you also. He was a large part of my ” growing up ” in my young life and I’m grateful for the life lessons I learned and wonderful memories I have. May you have comfort in this time of sorrow.
I like to send Rob’s family condolences Rob was quite the guy he takes something apart and put it back together with the same school you took out and he really amazes me nothing that you could come up with you will be greatly missed Rob… I know my nephew Matthew I really looked up to you you used to say man I love Rob he amazes me quite a bit . Well Rob you’re going to the Golden sky pearly Gates you’ll be missed dearly I love you Rob you rest in peace until we meet again
He was maybe 3 or 4 when Dot sent him nextdoor to knock on my door, because I was the same age and he wanted someone to play with. For the next 20 years, he was my best friend.
We had a disagreement that went on far to long, and I lost track of my friend. I would make half hearted attempts to find him again, to put it behind us and make amends.
Today I have found out that I will never get that chance now.
Growing up together, Robert had my back. He didn’t like school that much, and didn’t like hanging out with a crowd, but if he was your friend, you never had to question his loyalty. He would fight for you.
I will miss you, my friend.
I would like to start out with how Rob was a true renaissance man. He would make and create so many different things. It was amazing. One of my fondest memories of Rob was when I came home after work one day and he says look at me Bob I’m going mow the grass without pushing my push mower. He attached a skateboard to the back of the mower and as soon as he hit go. He fell flat on his ass. Laughing the whole time. And when I had a broken foot he made sure I got to go fishing at lake Andrea. Thanks Rob for all the good times.

My sincere sympathy to Roberts family. He was always such a polite young man when we would see each other. He would always tell me how he appreciated coming to the farm, to hang out, when he lived down the road from us. I am glad I could be a part of his memories in his younger years. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. May the Great Spirit Above, along with our Heavenly Father hold all of you ever so close and give you comfort.
