Robert Cronberg Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 25, 2024.
Robert Edward Cronberg, known affectionately as Robbie, passed away on September 18, 2024, at the age of 79 in Coon Rapids, MN. Born on November 19, 1943, in Norfolk, West Virginia, Robbie dedicated his life to public service and community protection.

Robbie proudly served in the Navy, embracing the discipline and camaraderie that military life offered. After his honorable discharge, he continued his commitment to service by joining the police force. Robbie retired as a Police Officer after 25 years of distinguished service in the Plymouth area, where he was respected by colleagues and community members alike for his integrity and dedication.

Robbie's educational journey began at Osseo High School and continued at a community college where he trained to become a Police Officer, a role he embraced with fervor and pride.

He leaves behind his beloved partner, Lea James, who was the love of his life, his son Michael, and daughter Laura. Robbie was preceded in death by his parents. His family and friends will miss his steadfast presence and the unwavering support he provided.

A ceremony to celebrate Robbie's life will be held at a later date. His legacy of service and love will be remembered by all who knew him.

Robbie was the man who lit up the light in my mom's spirit like I'd never seen in her before and for that, words cannot express how grateful I am that he came into her life.
