Robert B. Routt: Author, Survivor, and Voice of Second Chances
Robert B. Routt is the author of Almost Gone, a deeply personal memoir about family, faith, survival, and second chances.
After building a life, raising a family, serving in the U.S. Navy Seabees, and becoming a successful businessman, Robert's world changed dramatically after pain and prescription medication dependence led to a near-fatal medical crisis.
He survived a three-and-a-half-week coma and faced a long road through rehabilitation and recovery. Today, Robert shares his story not to dwell on what nearly took his life, but to show what can happen when you're given another chance to live it.
The fight to survive was only the beginning.
After a three-and-a-half-week coma, Robert faced rehabilitation, lasting physical challenges, and the difficult work of rebuilding his life.
