Robert Linné Reps, 54, of Matthews, North Carolina, died unexpectedly on July 12, 2016. A Certified Prosthetist Orthotist who worked at W.T. Hinnant Prosthetics, he was described as outgoing and an avid sports fan who enjoyed hockey and motorcycle riding. He was born October 6, 1961, in Detroit and was the youngest of three siblings; he is survived by his father, Irwin Reps, and two daughters, Michelle Pettine and Ashley Reps.

Initial reports were unclear about how he died. His wife, Kimberly Reps, claimed home invaders were responsible, but investigators later concluded the scene had been staged. Nearly four years after his death, Kimberly Reps pleaded guilty to his murder. The case has been noted among domestic violence-related homicides in 2016 and had a profound effect on his family and community.
