Robert Wayne Robinson

Robert Wayne Robinson, 61, lost his long, hard- fought battle with cancer and got his heavenly angel wings on February 28th. What an inspiration he has been to so many! Robert was born July 9, 1958 in Dallas, Texas to Bobbie Euel and Shirley Sue Morrison Robinson. He was preceded in death by his Father.

Robert graduated from Quitman High School and attended Stephen F. Austin University. He worked and retired from Southwestern Bell/AT&T.

He is survived by his mother Shirley; Sister Susan (Richard) Shockey, brother; Johnny (Diane) Robinson all of Tyler, TX. Also, survived by nephews and nieces; Heath Shockey, Michelle Shockey, Clint Shockey, Bear Baxter, Sandy Baxter, Chad Robinson, Brooke Robinson and Blake Robinson. Robert enjoyed life and left behind many, many dear friends.

A private family gathering for the celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

To honor his dogs; Sport and Bella, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to your favorite charity that provides care and adoption for dogs that need a permanent home. His final request is for you to feel the joy it brings to do something kind for someone, then look to heaven and give him a thumps-up.

The family wishes to thank the amazing Physicians, PAs, nurses and staff at Baylor Scott & White Cancer Center and the Hospice nurses at Vista Home Care.
