Robert "Robin" K. Stiles, II, took his final peaceful flight on June 25, 2025. He was born August 5, 1953 in Artesia, New Mexico. His family moved in 1957 to Farmington, New Mexico where he spent his childhood with his extended loving family. He graduated from Farmington High School in 1973.
Robin attended and graduated with a Business Degree on a football scholarship from Ft. Hayes Kansas State University. He was a member of Sigma Chi which supports its members to be leaders and positive contributors in their communities which he certainly did over his lifetime.
Robin was an outstanding real estate appraiser with the Appraisal Institute SRA designation for over 40 years and ran a very successful business. He could always be counted on to be honest, and he was highly sought after. He was a great Little League baseball coach, as well as Zachary's high school football coach. Thanks to his patient flight instructor Ruben, he was an avid flyer who loved to offer friends and family rides to get burgers in Sedona and Durango as often as he could. In 2006, he founded Del Sol Aviation flight school in Albuquerque. He also was an integral part of the Christian based Whitewater Adventures Rio Grande Rafting Company which he supported and helped minister all ages of youth through mentoring relationships, similar to Big Brothers/Little Sisters which he also supported. He was happiest when on the beach in his beloved Santa Barbara or Coronado Island.
Robin is preceded in death by his parents, Bob and Margaret Stiles, his beloved cousin, Robbie Clay, and his many supportive Aunts and Uncles.
Robin is survived by his wife, Barbara Beem; his sister, Christy Britton; his son, Joshua Stiles; daughters, Stephanie Bagley (Drew), Traci Jackson (David), and Melissa McCombs; grandson, Zachary Beem (Justice), Hunter Jackson (Katelyn), Bryce and Beau Jackson; granddaughters, Mylah Bagley, Kiera and Elisabeth Grate; and great-grandchildren, Asher Beem, Aaron and Elli Jackson; many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Memorial services will be held at 12:00 p.m., July 12, 2025 at Richmond Hill Funeral with Pastor Jay Tucker officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service.
