Erwin Ted, Jr., began his earthly journey on Friday, October 17, 1969 in St. Louis, Missouri, the son of Edwin Ted Robinson, Sr., and Nancy Yates Robinson. His mother preceded him in death.
He received his education in the Ballard County Kentucky Public School System, and was a graduate of Ballard Memorial High School, Class of 1988. He earned an associate degree from Paducah Community College. He joined the U.S. Army, served 20 years, endured seven deployments, and attained the rank of SGT/E5 before retiring on August 31, 2012. He enjoyed employment with VERSAR as an Engineering Technician. He enjoyed membership with the Black Onyx Pacesetters Motorcycle Club.
On Friday, January 28, 2000, Erwin united in holy matrimony with Annabell Scheele and they were the proud parents of three children.
He loved spending time with family and friends. He was a mentor, father figure for his nieces and nephews, brother-in-law, dedicated member of the motorcycle scene; kind, supportive, a positive influence to many; always ready to joke and be the life of the party. He was the glue to keep family and friends together. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, watching football, basketball, and baseball. All who knew and loved him will sorely miss his presence and smiling face.
On Thursday, September 18, 2025, Erwin departed this life to be with the Lord.
He leaves precious memories to be cherished by his wife, Annabel Robinson; daughter, Francis Robinson, both of Clarksville, TN; sons: Julian Robinson, Paducah, KY and Dominic Scheele, Clarksville, TN; father, Ted Robinson, Sr., St. Louis, MO; brother, William Robinson, Murray, KY; sister, Michelle Robinson, St. Louis, MO; second “mom” Miss DiAnn and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
