Robert "Robbie" Craig Robinson, 74, of Union, MI, passed away on Saturday, June 3, 2023, at his home. He was born on April 21, 1949, in Elkhart, to the late Robert "Bob" C. and Elizabeth J. (Billey) Robinson.

Robbie is survived by his siblings, Edward "Eddie" Robinson of Elkhart, Carol (Dan) Marker of Elkhart, Susan (Earl) McKay of Union, MI, and Laurel (Craig) Ruch of Cassopolis, MI; children, Caleb Robert Robinson, Joshua James Robinson, and Robin Kolbus; 3 loving grandchildren; and a loving host of extended family, friends, and acquaintances.

Robbie is preceded in death by his parents, and daughter, Sarah Robinson.

In accordance with Robbie's wishes, cremation has been chosen. A celebration of life service will be held by the family at a later date. Billings Funeral Home of Elkhart has been assisting the family with arrangements.

Robbie graduated from Southwestern with an associate degree in mechanics. For many years, he worked as a painter for various shops along with his own company, Robinson Custom Painting, for over 50 years. Robbie also proudly served as a U.S. Marine and went into the service when he was 17.

Robbie was a devoted Christian man who deeply loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He enjoyed spending time reading the Bible, singing worship music, and spending time with family and friends for fellowship and prayer.

In his spare time, Robbie enjoyed music. His father was a jazz musician and was a big inspiration to Robbie and his brother, Eddie. They formed a band together in their earlier years, Eddie with his guitar and Robbie on the drums, which would bring about many songs and memories for years to come.

Robbie, along with his musical and mechanical talents, will be dearly missed by those whose hearts he touched throughout his life.
