Robert was always around my house as I grew up. He was my brother's friend from the neighborhood, later he played and toured with Isidro Lopez that's where my dad played.
Later in life I got to play with Robe as well.
You'll be missed in the music scene and you'll be missed in my family.
Rest in peace.

Macias and I were the odd friends. He was in his 50s when I was in my 20s but my “old soul” got along with his “young at heart” really well. We used to sit outside his house (which we nicknamed “The Lazy M”) and have a few beverages… maybe a little carne (chicken leg quarters) and we’d tell stories and jokes. “I was born very little when I was very young” was how he’d begin his childhood stories… (I’ve adopted saying that… but he was where I heard it).
Over the years we took trips together - Acapulco when I won the trip on a radio station, Cancun to celebrate his son’s high school graduation and Huatulco to celebrate my College graduation. We’d only seen each other a handful of times for a quick visit in the last 25 years.
I know he’s jamming with a heckava Conjunto/Country band up there in a Heavenly bar. Save me a seat near the bass player when I get there. Love you, Macias.

My sincerest condolences to JoAnn, Robert Jr., Rogelio and the rest of the Macias family. My earliest memory of Robert is from 1978 when I was about 8 years old. My big brother Mario took me with him to a quincianera gig Mesquite had at Holy Redeemer. I recorded what I could on my little Radio Shack cassette recorder and remember being amazed at Robert's playing and vocal harmonies. As I grew older, I was allowed on occasion to accompany Mesquite on gigs and helped with the unloading, setup, soundcheck and breakdown afterwards. Robert and Ruben always made me feel welcome, like I was part of it even though I wasn't. After leaving Laredo for college, I would look for Mesquite at Charlie's Corona then later at Banda's Sports Bar on my occasional visits home hoping I could sit in with them for a few tunes. Robert always greeted me with with his huge warm smile and a loud "Javi!" as soon as he saw me, no matter how long it had been since we saw each other last. "Vas a tocar?" he would ask. I would attempt to channel a little bit of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana and ZZ Top. After my three or four songs, he always gave me his warm smile and said "Javi, always a pleasure!" He was always a sweetheart. Never an ill word to say about anyone! I will truly miss Robert but know that this is not a forever farewell. He is not gone, his spirit lives on. Robert has transcended into the next life. I believe Jesus our Lord couldn't wait any longer to have him join that great band upstairs. Hasta luego Robert my friend, rest in peace. It was always a pleasure!

My most sincerest condolences to my first cousin's family and friends. My dad Francisco Inocencio Luan was Roberto's mom Isabel Luan Macias brother. My dad passed away in 1987 but I know that he loved his nephews and nieces as well as his entire family because he would mention them often.
