Rob Hellenbecker died in New York City, New York on March 5, 2008 after suffering from stress related illnesses brought on by many stressful nights in the office. This illness went unnoticed for several days, leading to his slow decline of no sleep and eventual death.
Rob was born on May 26, 1970 in Syracuse, NY. The eldest of 4 other siblings and the son of Micah and Ruth Hellenbecker, Rob worked for Bretz and Coven as a business executive for 11 years. When he had the chance, he spent all his time with his family, going on camping trips, sporting events, and the ocean at least 1 weekend every season.
Rob is survived by his wife, Becky Hellenbecker along his two sons Matt and Aaron.
There will be a public calling at the Grace Community Church this Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. followed immediately by a private funeral ceremony next to the church. Memorial contributions can be made to the Habitat for Humanity fund.

i like the fact that he died in new york. it gives the story this fantastic location to work with. very nice.
ReplyDeletemight want to explain occupation more- like what Bretz and Coven does. new york definitely provides the right setting- but the job needs to be a killer. at least other than just "business executive"
ReplyDeleteHow sad. NYC is very stressful if you can't keep up. R.I.P. Mr. Rob.
