Robert Taylor Hendricks
Robert Taylor Hendricks was born on April 5, 1966, to the union of Cubie and Thomasina Hendricks in Pasadena, California. He was the youngest of five children, two boys and three sisters.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Juan and one sister, Robin. At an early age, Robert confessed his hope in Christ and was baptized in St. Louis, Missouri at Pleasant Green Missionary Baptist Church by the Rev. George H. Pruitt and Grandfather (Fennie Wrice).
Robert’s early education was in the Saint Louis Public School District where he later graduated Vocational High School in Elmwood, Missouri.
He was a great humanitarian with a heart of gold to serve. Robert cared for his fellow man, animals and the great outdoors. His favorite mantra was (This Too Shall Pass) despite the challenges that life brings he always had an optimistic outlook. Listening to music and playing the piano were two of the many things that brought him joy. Robert was a person easy to love, who had a kind word to say about everyone and made friends wherever he went. He loved the peaceful life, friends and fishing lakes that he found in Ironton, Missouri for over 15 years. He was known by (Scooter) to his family and closest friends.
After having a long stay at Mercy Hospital (Jefferson County) on August 21, 2024 , Robert was called to his eternal home. He leaves to cherish his memory: four of five children, Robert Jr., Hannah, April, Daniel, and (Robin, preceded in death) sisters, Culeta and Cheryl, and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, close friends, neighbors and his Uncle George Waters.

The family of Robert Taylor wishes to thank everyone for your prayers, love, and support as we grieve the loss of our Beloved “Scooter”.
Beautifully Done R.I.P Little Brother
You will be forever missed. Love you!! Little Brother
Scooter, you are the most encouraging young man that I’ve never heard him say anything, ever, negative. I see why God called you home. He wants you to lead the praise team. God bless you nephew. And I know, you’ll be praying and watching over your family down here. Well, until we meet up where you are, take your rest for now. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. God delights in the presence of His saints. I can hear him saying Scooter, my good and faithful servant. Always, auntie DD as you called me.
It’s been years since I have seen Scooter, but I truly have fun memories of him as a child. He was constantly jumping in my car wanting to ride and watching over his Sisters. I’m so sorry for the loss of Scooter. He grew into a good man and he’s going to truly be missed. He comes from a great family. God Bless.
What a beautiful memorial in pictures. Pictures speaks a thousand words. To them that are believers of Jesus Christ, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord Jesus Christ.” My condolences to the entire family of Mr. Robert Taylor Hendricks.
I’ll miss you bruh, We had a lotta fun and laughs from hanging out on the front porch as kids to going out to the “animal house” in our teens to chilling out in our adult years.All of them filled with a lot of good times.
You’re gone too soon
