A Message to Our Community

To our Sky Meadow Community:

Words can’t express the pain, sorrow and anger I feel about the tragedy that occurred Saturday evening. We recognized some of you were at Sky Meadow last night and know Robert DeCesare and his family – as well as our team member and guest that were injured.

I realize you may have questions and concerns, and I am committed to answering each of them. While it’s my intent to speak with you in person very soon, we are currently working closely with law enforcement and those impacted.

I want to personally share the statement I shared with the media moments ago.

Please pray for Robert and his family, along with the other victims and their families.

Sky Meadow Country Club Releases Statement Regarding Last Night's Tragedy

I, along with everyone within the Sky Meadow Country Club community, am heartbroken over the tragic event that unfolded last night. This was the heinous act of a coward who will be held to account for what he did.

To the DeCesare family, there are no words to express the pain and sorrow you—and our community—are feeling over Robert’s murder. He is a hero. To our very own employee and our guest who were shot and are recovering, and to the countless others impacted, we’re here for you and your families. Always.  

We are profoundly grateful for the courageous efforts of patrons and employees who acted selflessly to prevent further tragedy. We also extend our deepest appreciation to the Nashua Police Department, New Hampshire Attorney General’s office, and the multiple other law enforcement agencies whose swift action led to the perpetrator’s capture within minutes, and to the first responders who cared for the victims. From the very first moments of this incident, we have worked closely with law enforcement and will continue to do so.

Sky Meadow and the City of Nashua are safe, tight-knit communities, built on fellowship, compassion, and resilience. Those values have been on full display in the thousands of messages of support we have received since this horrific incident began unfolding.

The safety, security, and wellbeing of our members, guests, and staff are — and will always remain — our highest priority. We will not let the cowardly acts of this perpetrator define us. 

Rob Parsons, Owner, Sky Meadow Country Club
