Above all things, Mr. Thurston loved his family, friends, and his co-workers at Smyrna Ready Mix.

He loved fishing and four-wheeling (and the hospital visits after the four-wheeling), and playing video games like online Dungeons and Dragons. He also enjoyed collecting Legos and Eagles. Robert was a fun-loving man who enjoyed his Miller Lite (Miller Lite could have been his sponsor), and some say he died doing what he loved best, Drinking his Miller Lite and playing video games.
