Phyllis Yanagihara, Washington— It is with great sadness that the community has learned of the passing of Phyllis Yanagihara on Sunday, September 29th. Her passing has left a significant impact on her son, Robb Yanagihara, who now faces a challenging period ahead.
Robb, known for his active involvement in the Star Wars community, particularly through his performances with the Saber Guild, has experienced a series of hardships in recent years. After enduring a severe stroke, losing his car, and recently being without a job, he has now lost his beloved mother.
A fundraiser organized by Sean Shaw has been launched to help Robb with the financial burden of arranging his mother’s final farewell. The funds will go toward travel expenses to Washington, lodging, food, and handling Phyllis’s belongings, all while Robb navigates the new responsibilities and struggles of starting a new job without any paid time off (PTO).
The outpouring of support from friends and family has already begun, with donations from anonymous contributors and Erica Smith. The community is encouraged to offer assistance, whether by donating or sharing the fundraiser to help Robb during this difficult time.
Our deepest condolences go out to Robb Yanagihara. We extend our thoughts and prayers to him and his family during this moment of grief.
