Robert George Robins, beloved husband, father, son, teacher, and friend passed away on January 7, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on January 21, 1952, in Marshall, Texas lived a full life of love and service.
He attended Marshall public schools and graduated from Marshall High School with honors in 1970. He went on to attend Stephen F. Austin State University and graduated with a BS in Geology.

He worked with several oil companies in that position for 13 years.
Rob and his family moved back to Marshall in 1986 where he began working as a high school science teacher. After 23 years and nearly 2000 students at Marshall High School, he went on to teach physics for another 13 years at Hallsville High School. He loved his job and blessed many students. He was also touched by his students, with whom he shared his quick wit, sarcasm, and weird humor with. He often shared stories of his classes and students.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Danna; his son, LTC, USA (Retired) Steven Robins, his wife Jana, and children: Kaylee and Wyatt; his son Col Matthew Robins (USAF), his wife Amanda, and children: Alayna and Thomas.
