Hey guys, Delilah here. I know it’s been a while. But I felt the need to get on here and make this post. It is with the heaviest of heart I bring the most devastating news of Robert Young’s passing. Tattoo Rob was a great friend to many of us here at Wispers. Hell, on the whole island. But for me personally, Rob was my yellow. The sunshine for me on such a dark island. See I’m not from Galveston. I never lived in Galveston. I drove hours upon hours every week to open because Galveston was never for me. I never liked the island. But Rob never once let me feel alone. No matter what he was ALWAYS there. Always. I can’t remember a time he wasn’t. Not only did he make me feel safe. But the girls always felt safe. There were many occasions I watched him walk groups of the girls home, or out to their cars. Making them laugh the whole way. There were many times I saw guys come in off the streets already pretty drunk. That he would sit down and talk to until they were good enough to leave. There were many nights our little “family” here at Wispers would have had a slow night. Some of us bummed out. Rob would put on a show for us. JUST to make us smile. “There’s no reason for none of that sad s**t fu***rs. Get up here and let’s shake some fu***ng titties.” Or “don’t make me strut my stuff muff” Rob didn’t allow you to be sad. That’s what I’ve tried to keep telling myself the past two days. Hell, the past few weeks. It all happened so fast It was like our friendship. I blinked and it was already happening. I know he’d give me a pass on this one. Anyways, I wanted to share this post because Rob was dear to quite a few of us. The benefit is still happening. There’s still things to be done, and there’s still a few asses to shake. Please join us at Gizmos May 3rd 11-2pm. I hope to see a lot of friendly faces. If you can’t make it but would like to donate. Get with me I’ll make sure it finds where it needs to go. Proof can be provided. 🫶🏽 Until then, if anyone would like to share some photos or videos. Please do. My heart desperately could use it. I’ve been engulfed in everyone’s kind words and post on his page the past few days. And to Rob don’t think this gets you out of my hubcap burger you owe me. Until next time I see you at the stage my friend. Xoxo,Delilah.
