Robert W. Lampe

Robert William Lampe, 29, was born September 29, 1996, in Alliance, Ohio. The family moved to Iowa and Robert graduated from Southeast Polk High School. He was active and loved the outdoors. Robert had a passion for motorcycles, playing golf, and fishing. He and his fiancée, Sarah liked going to the gym, working out, and walking their dog, Zeus.
