Robert Joseph Robar, 54, passed away on March 8 surrounded by family and friends with his beloved Billy Strings, Phish and the Grateful Dead playing in the background. He was known widely in Michigan cannabis circles for his big smile, kind spirit and the companies he founded and led: Fancy, Headway Graphics, Heady Times, Helping Friendly Hemp Company and Weekapaug Collective. He was an advocate of alternative plant medicine – CBD, cannabis, and mushrooms.
Rob attended Ferris State University and is a 1984 graduate of Milford High School.
Rob lived in Waterford and is survived by his wife, Carrie, his son Ben, his daughter Lauren and his pug, Jedi. He is the son of Richard Wayne Robar (deceased) and Susan Robar of Highland. He had four brothers and sisters: David (Wendy) Robar of Cleveland, Daniel (Colleen) Robar of Detroit, Susan (Paul) Settle of Highland and Carolyn (David) Zenisek of Chelsea.
No funeral is planned. A memorial service will be held for Rob in the near future.
“Rob was a good friend and selfless person who when I asked him to join the Hero Project USA board he instantly agreed,” said Mike Brennan, Editor of Four20Post Live and former President of the Hero Project USA. “He also produced at his own expense several Hero-labeled CBD products. His spirit has returned home where we all will join him someday.”
