As we mourn the tragic loss of Australian surfer Callum Robinson, his girlfriend Emily Horwath shares her heartfelt memories of their life together. Callum, along with his brother Jake Robinson and their friend Jack Carter Rhoad, were found dead in Baja California, Mexico. In a gut-wrenching final message, Callum expressed his love and positivity for Emily.
In a touching voicemail, Callum said, “Happy Tuesday. Good morning. It’s 11:11 and I’m just thinking about you. Just wanted to drop you a quick message and say, hello, baby. Hope you’re having a phenomenal start to your day. I’m sending a big grin on your face for some reason today. I hope you’re full of positivity and smiles. Cheers baby. Miss ya.” These words reflect the vibrant and positive person Callum was.
Emily shares their beautiful moments together on her Instagram Stories. She posted photos and videos of them enjoying each other’s company, including Callum getting a pedicure. “Cal always got pedicures with me and we’d put smiley faces on his big toes,” she fondly recalls. “I called them his happy hoovers. Even his toes were happy.”
Their adventurous spirit is evident in the snapshots of Callum hanging from a tree by the beach and partying with friends. They enjoyed vacationing together and exchanged experiences as gifts. “For holidays/birthdays, Cal and I always bought each other experiences that we could share together,” Emily explains. On their last trip, he even had them exploring underground caves. Their laughter and ability to embrace life without taking it too seriously was what made their connection so special.
Callum’s impact on Emily’s life goes beyond words. She struggles to comprehend a world without his energy in it. “I feel so grateful to have loved him,” she shares. This devastating loss serves as a reminder to cherish our loved ones and live life to the fullest. Callum’s positivity, kindness, and zest for life should guide us all. As Emily says, “Tell your people you love them. Live life to the fullest every day. Be kind to others. Laugh uncontrollably. Don’t let the small stuff bother you. You lead with positivity. And live like Cal.”
The investigation into the deaths of Callum, Jake, Jack, and an unnamed fourth person is still ongoing. Local authorities in Baja California have stated that the motive for the killings was carjacking. Despite the progress made by the authorities, many questions remain unanswered.
As we honor Callum Robinson’s memory, let us reflect on his spirit and zest for life. May his positivity continue to inspire us all, and may his tragic end serve as a reminder of the importance of love, kindness, and adventure.
