ToxicSkullX

A Creator With A Community

Bobby created long-format narrated videos on YouTube as ToxicSkullX for seven years. People loved his voice and used his videos to relax, sleep, and feel less alone. His daddy, RPM, helped him build the channel, and after years of work it took off into a community of tens of thousands.

He lived at the family home in Gates, North Carolina for most of his life, then spent his last two years with his mother in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. His occupation was serial entrepreneur like his daddy, RPM: content creator, YouTuber, custom PC builder, and disruptive tech investor.

Bobby's hobbies and passions were the same things he lived out loud: drums, guitar, classic and modern heavy metal, computers, gaming, stocks, Bitcoin, and building things that helped people.

Bobby learned so many hands-on skills beside his daddy, RPM. They worked on cars, built things around the family home, took on additions and repairs, and Bobby did roof work around the RPM compound. He worked on friends' cars and trucks at the home auto shop, helped with maintenance for family and extended family, and often needed very little help from his dad once he had a problem in front of him.

He built rifles and pistols, and he cared deeply about firearms safety, education, and doing things the right way. Bobby used YouTube to teach himself whatever he needed to learn, then turned around and taught his daddy things he had figured out. He was never scared of hard work. He could work for hundreds of hours, skipping meals and breaks, until a video, a build, or the ToxicSkullX channel was exactly right before he finally took a nap. To his daddy, he was his little Elon Musk.

Bobby also built 154 custom trading PCs for members of the DayTradingRadio community and his daddy's RPMtrades community. He built them at a loss because he wanted the experience, wanted to help people, and loved the same technology his daddy loved. That trading community was part of Bobby's life for years, because it had been part of his daddy's life for more than 18 years.

Daddy was proud of him. Bobby was the smartest human his daddy knew.

He loved classic and modern heavy metal, with Lamb of God as his favorite band of all time. Bobby bought their albums and merchandise to support the band, often leaving the CDs unopened because he listened digitally but wanted to stand behind the artists. He never got to see Lamb of God in concert, but he did see Randy Blythe as a guest with Gojira in Richmond, Virginia.
