William T. Robbins Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 14, 2005.
William Robbins called his 5-year-old stepdaughter from Iraq the day before he died and said he couldn't wait to swing her around like an airplane. "Every time we had a family get-together, he was the one all the children would go play with," said his brother, Darren. But when Robbins returned home to Arkansas for a visit last fall, he sat the girl down and told her he might not be back again. Robbins, 31, of North Little Rock, Ark., died Feb. 10 of non-combat injuries. He was based in Little Rock. An avid outdoorsman, Robbins was an 11-year military veteran and a full-time employee of the Arkansas National Guard. He was devoted to his duties as an adviser to the Iraqi national guard and even learned to speak some Arabic, said his wife, Kimberly. Robbins is survived by his stepdaughter, Tristan Ellis, and his 1-year-old daughter, Abigail Robbins. "He was looking forward to coming home," his wife said. "He felt what he was doing in Iraq benefited the family."

I was riding my bicycle slowly past the Memorial Mile in Gainesville Florida set up for Memorial Day 2015. Thousands of small tombstones staked into the ground have names all the soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. I saw one that had fallen over. I stopped to right it. It read William T Robbins of North Little Rock. I'm from Arkansas and my twin brother is currently stationed in North Little Rock. His time in Iraq was in 2005. It could have been him just as easily.

To the family and friends of Staff Sgt. William T. Robbins:
It has truly been my honor to sign William's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that William will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

Psalm 23



1

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3

He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.



This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!



My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!



If you need anything, please feel free to contact me!!!
