But he also was careful to see that those around him did the same. "He was always helping – not only for his brothers, but for everybody else," his mother, Maria Elena Vega, said. "I remember him telling me, 'I want Anthony [his younger brother] to be better than me.' He wanted to go to law school and everything, but he was always first caring about them." Rob – the eldest son of a Puerto Rican-born father and Costa Rican mother whose struggle to achieve the American Dream he sought to preserve and emulate by practicing immigration law – died in July 2013 following a rafting accident in a state park near the University of Pittsburgh, where he planned to pursue his law degree. He was 22. In a subsequent newspaper obituary, friends memorialized him as the type of achiever who would've grown up to be elected president.
