From 2 years ago:

I was given some shocking news this morning. My very dear friend Robert Moore AKA Makobob passed away during the night. Reports are that he seemed perfectly healthy yesterday and the police and coroner had not arrived at Makoville as of this writing.
Bob and I became friends sharing our love for kayak fishing in Southern California some 10 or 12 years ago. He accompanied me on my first trip to Bahia Asuncion about 7 and a half years ago and has been a frequent visitor here. He was a survivor of so many physical and medical challenges including complications of Agent Orange exposure, 2 below the knee amputations, and diabetes and yet he remained the most positive individual you will ever run across. Descansa en paz amigo.

My condolences. I never met the man, but based on BWE archives he was an incredible individual who generously contributed to the SoCal kayak fishing community. Even his last BWE post a month prior was about sharing and helping:

"Guys will get to fish areas without tons of fishing pressure. I would camp out on the beaches and Island. My rowboat "Second Wind" will carry supplies, a water maker, camping gear, and cook gear and act as a support boat. Yes, radios for safety and a small outboard motor for emergencies. Still lots of planning to do."

Sad that this trip never happened. It sure does not sound like someone who was worried about dying? It must have been a huge shock to receive the news of his death. Was there ever an autopsy? What became of Makoville? I know of the Makoville via Tony Parks youtube channel -- RIP Tony.

Two awesome BWE members lost in two years. Sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Robert aka Makobob
