A message from his nephew Shaquille Harris-I never thought I would be writing a message for you to go on your obituary Unc not this soon old man aka old coon. But unfortunately you had been called home sadly because of an car accident that took your life. This still doesn’t feel real I’m still waiting on your call because you told me you was going to call me the next day. I'm looking at our messages our pictures when we all came together for grandma and now you with her. I would never forget all the things you taught me as a kid even the discipline because I didn’t really have a father figure and you was one of man in my life that taught me how to stand on my own 2 feet. The junk food combos like Frosted Flakes with a honey bun or Swiss roll, the pb & j with a honey bun in the middle. The Spider-Man lunch box and watch you brought for one of my birthdays .All the laughs we shared ,The trash talking ,The making jokes, you picking on my mom and I’m calling you old coon. I even remember when you got in a accident and your chin got missed up and everyday you would call me to change your bandage and put peroxide on your chin like I was a doctor. I remember you telling me happy Father’s Day before I even became one ,me sending you names I was thinking about to name my daughter and you telling me you loved them all, you was the first one I sent a picture of my daughter to when she was first born and I remember us being on video call so you can see her and you telling me to make sure I take care of her. Every time we talk you make sure to tell me to take care of my family always and that you love me I will never forget that or forget you uncle Robert. Its really hard for me to write this message without tearing up because i was on the phone with you and the girls and you told me that we need to make a group chat to stay in touch and you told me you was going to call me the next day and now your gone it really hurts me Unc I missed you so much. At the same time I know you wouldn’t want us to worried about you but we still would I even remember telling you how much you started to look like grandma and now you with her. Tell her I miss her so much and I love her. I will never forget you uncle Robert aka old man aka old coon I don’t drink like that but I definitely gotta take a drink for you I love you R.I.P from your nephew Shaquille 🖤🙏🏾.

Elizabeth- Rest up Uncle Robert L. Peterkin, from your niece Elizabeth Peterkin and the kids. Dear Uncle Robert, my old man, my uncle. I don't know what to say, I'm heartbroken, I'm hurting, I can't believe you are really gone. I'll always remeber us telling jokes, all the good and funny memories we had and the laughter. Our video chat pics, I would screenshot all of them. I love you sooo much and I miss you sooo much. I know you are in heaven with grandma and auntie. God gaining another angel, watch over all  of us. Long live my uncle Robert Peterkin. He was strong and funny, a good man, and he loved his family.
