One time he was stuck on a train for eight hours in the Rockies, complaining the whole time, in the Colorado Rockies that he loved so much. While traveling he would mention that you can leave some of me here when I go, anytime he seen a view that he wanted to remember for a lifetime. His friends would joke with him over this and Robert said "Kyle you will be everywhere man." Kyle opended his arms and said "That's okay, I'll be the world."
