Robert L. Hatcher, Jr., of Roswell, NM, died March 22, 2015. He was born September 29, 1992 in Albuquerque, NM, the son of Robert L. Hatcher and Gay Campbell. He attended Roswell schools and graduated from Roswell High School in 2011, where he was a member of the football and wrestling teams. He was currently enrolled in Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell majoring in Engineering.
Robbie’s passions were building and racing the fastest cars and trucks, and women. He started racing go-carts at 3 ½ years old. He raced R/C cars and boats by 8 years old. He built his own Supercharged ¾ ton pickup to mud bog by age 9. He mowed lawns to afford his first Chrysler TC Maserati. When that wasn’t fast enough, he bought his ‘08 Pontiac G8 GT. Then, he decided to take the shop delivery truck and turn it into the World’s Fastest 4-door, 4WD street truck, known as the “Gray Ghost”. His builds include the Banana ZR1, the Frankenford, and many other builds. He worked long hours, late nights, and even weekends; but that never stopped him from lending a hand to a friend that needed help with their build or answering questions on forums.
Robert is survived by his father, Robert L. Hatcher of Roswell, and mother, Belinda Gay Campbell of San Antonio, TX; grandparents, Hilda Husted and Lloyd of Farmington, Anna Bell Hatcher of Roswell, and Duke Powell of Albuquerque; his aunt, Diane Colby of Farson, WY; and numerous cousins.
