Photographer/Motojournalist Insider Rob Koy Passes
Motocross photographer Rob Koy recently passed away after battling ALS.

Rob’s wife, Jane, posted, “It takes strength to wake up each day knowing the road ahead will be difficult and still choose to love and be there for the people that matter. It takes courage to carry fear without allowing it to define you. It takes an incredible heart to suffer privately so others don’t have to carry that burden with you. On September 7, 2026, Rob lost his battle with ALS. He was determined after his diagnosis to live life to the fullest, and he accomplished his goal. My heart is breaking, and I will love you forever.”

“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” 2 Cor 12:9.

Our thoughts are with Jane and the Koy family.CN
