Robert Hurlbert (1956-2025):
On September 6, Robert Hurlbert passed away, “having lived and loved life for a remarkable 47 years as a quadriplegic”.  A native Houstonian, he was injured in a car accident and paralyzed from the chest down shortly before graduating from Rice in 1978 pre-med with degrees in Biochemistry and Psychology.  Instead of medical school, he focused on rehabilitation and “studied accountancy, became proficient on the computer, and went far and wide in his powered wheelchair”.
