Robert Thrasher Obituary

Rest in peace Rob. We are praying for you and your family.

Rob and I were lieutenants together at Fort Drum. I am still saddened by his passing, especially for his family. He loved his daughters and grandchild with all his heart. Rest in Peace, Rob.

On and I served together at Fort Drum in the late 80s. He was a great guy in every respect. Rest in peace friend

God Bless Bob. You were a great guy and I will always remember our times soldiering.

Rest In Peace Rob.

Hi all. This is Robert's eldest daughter Ashlen. Six years later and I was finally able to bring myself to read the condolence messages left by you all. I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to leave your messages. They were such a comfort and joy to read. We wish all of you and your families well.

Rob was a great guy and is missed. Good soldier husband and father. May He rest in the Lords peace.

Very saddened to hear the news about Rob. I was a coworker with Rob at Target Corp. in Tifton, GA in the late 90's and we maintained contact throughout the years. We had a common bond as former Army Officers. Rob was an awesome guy and will be missed. I remember Rob as the consummate "can-do" guy; never hit an obstacle he couldn't maneuver around. I always respected that attitude and it encouraged me to emulate it. Take care Rob, see you in the big O-Club one day!

Rob you will be missed old friend.

My condolences go out to the family of LTC Thrasher. He was a great man and will be missed.

Blessings and prayers to the Thrasher family on the loss of a great American and Hero. He left his mark on so many of our Soldiers and helped them become more than they dreamed they could. He will be sorely missed from his Army family and his 2/345 Gladiator family. Rest in peace. Sincerely, COL Nikki L. Griffin Olive

That was a beautiful home going cermony yesterday for a wonderful Battalion Commander, anytime you can laugh at a funeral you know that person truly lived!!. He appointed me as his 1SG for 2/345th and never questioned my judgment. You will be truly missed Sir, "Forward Together"

My thoughts and prayers go out to Rob's family. Rob's memorial service was a beautiful celebration of his life. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to see you all while I was there. From the time we met back in 1979 while working together at Western Sizzling', Rob was such a great friend and fun guy to be around. I'm so grateful for the times I got to see him in his last couple of years. I only wish I couldv'e spent more time with him. Missing you buddy!

I grew up with Rob and Gary - and while remember playing basketball at Stella Maris, I could hear them in their backyard being chased by their pet goat. Gary left us too soon and that was something that Rob never wanted to talk about. Rob's love for classic cars and his knowledge of how to fix them was inspirational. Later in life, when I went to AFghanistan, Rob shared with me his combat experiences and I never forget them and I won't forget Rob. RIP Rob Thrasher - you've done more than many could imagine and left us too soon.

Prayers for his family and god bless.

These last three years you have been in the worst war zone ever!
You fought the only way you knew how! So many doors closed on you but you were still trying to make us not worry. The Lord has you in his hands now and you will make him a proud soldier!

I remember Bob as a classmate from the Citadel. God bless him and his family.

My sincerest condolences to the Thrasher Family during this difficult time. Rob and I served together in the 10th MtN Division back in the 80's. Rob was a great officer and was selected to be the aide de camp to the Deputy Commanding General because of his past performance and professionalism. Rob was a very personable and funny guy who was great to be around. Rob was a great father husband and soldier. His troops respect him because he always knew the standards but also took care of them. This all comes as a shock and we will all miss him. We will keep Rob and the Thrasher Family in our prayers

My thoughts and prayers to my Nieces Ashlen, Megan and Kristan, My sister Kristy and Miss Caroline and Gary and all of Robs family..

Rob and I were Lieutenants together with the 10th Mountain Division, Fort Drum, NY. He was a talented logistician, loved his children, family and country. I was so sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Met you 5 years ago and walked thru citadel with you. Hope you're at peace. Way to soon.

Rob is an American Hero, and a man of great intellect and tremendous heart. I can only imagine how much he sacrificed to keep our country protected. Rob had a great sense of humor, always trying to lighted up a tense situation and make others feel good about themselves during tough times. So long my friend, you will never be forgotten.

LTC Thrasher was a great Commander. He will definitely be missed. So sorry he had to leave so soon. We had some great times back in 2345!

Our condolence goes out to the family at this time. LTC Thrasher was a great person to have served with.

To the Thrasher Family my thoughts and prayers are with you
LTC Rob was a big part of my life for several years, he was my Commander,a mentor, most helpful in gaining admission to the Citadel for my now son-in law, and a FRIEND. He and I shared many good times and went through some hard ones as well. LTC Rob will be missed, sorry for your loss, I wish the family well. If I can ever be any assistance please let me know.
