A GoFundMe created by Reilley Bonilla had raised more than $10,000 as of Friday, July 24, to help cover funeral and memorial expenses.

He enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially riding ATVs and dirt bikes, participating in water sports, and working in construction, according to his obituary on the Synowicki Funeral Home website and the fundraiser. Friends and family said he built lasting memories with those closest to him and was known for his loyalty, generosity, and caring nature.

"As our family tries to cope with this unimaginable loss, we are asking for support to help cover Bobby's funeral and memorial expenses," the campaign reads. "The financial burden of losing someone so unexpectedly is something no family is ever prepared for, and we want to give him the farewell he deserves."

Friends and loved ones described Tarrant as someone who always put others first and was quick to help anyone in need.

"Bro you were so young, had such heart and courage... this is incredibly sad," Carlos Perez said on Facebook. "My condolences to your family and may God bless them!"

"Smile in the sky the way you lit this earth," Lubas Danielle writes. "Until we meet again 🙏🏼 rest easy rob ❤️."

Tarrant was predeceased by his father, Bob Tarrant; his uncle, Andy Tarrant; his grandparents, Shirley and Dan Tarrant; and his beloved dogs, Myra and Diesel, according to his obituary. He is survived by his mother, Donna Jean; stepmother, Ana Luisa; brothers, Kenny Spolowitz and James Reyner; sister, Theresa Bonilla; several nieces and nephews; extended family; and close friends.
