Sad news indeed, condolences to his family.
That’s horrible
His mom is our former volleyball coach, Kaddie Platt.
This is so sad and tragic. Thoughts and prayers to their family.
Wow…
Oh man…condolences to the family
Sad and terrible. Condolences to the Platt family. Kaddie was always nice and a great rep for UH even if the team wasn’t having a great season. I couldn’t imagine dealing with something like this.
Rest In Peace Robert.
Sorry to hear this. Condolences to the family and to all Robert’s extended family of Cougar teammates and coaches.
Kaddie Platt’s son…terrible news. Condolences to the Platt family.
Thoughts and prayers to the family, friends, and teammates.
