Obituary published on Legacy.com by Brown & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory (43rd St. Chapel) - Bradenton on Jan. 15, 2026.
John Randall Robinson, fondly known as "Jack" to all who knew him, was born on June 8, 1950, in
West Bend, Wisconsin, and passed away on December 24, 2025, in
Bradenton, Florida, at the age of 75, following complications from the flu and pneumonia. He was the son of the late Richard Robinson and Pearl Pelletier. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Shirley Robinson (Albert), and his sister, Gail Gordon. He is survived by his stepchildren and his beloved grandchildren, Adrian, Celeste, Giana, Pedro, Jose, Isabella, and his great-grandchildren. He is further survived by his siblings, Richard Gordon (Joan), Rene Ryan (Joe), Jim Robinson, Melanie Moran, as well as many nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Jack was a very intelligent, caring, and analytical man who took great pride in his work and in doing things the right way. A carpenter by trade, he enjoyed a lifelong career with Milwaukee Public Schools. Known for his meticulous attention to detail, Jack approached every project-whether remodeling homes, building garages, or helping family and friends-with skill, care, and quiet dedication. His craftsmanship reflected not only his talent but also his commitment to excellence. A private man with a big heart, Jack valued time spent with family and friends. Outside of work, Jack was an avid reader with an ever-questioning mind and a love of trivia. Music filled his life-he enjoyed all genres and would often be found humming a tune, not always in tune, but always with joy. Jack shared a love of bowling with his late wife, winning several championships, and he looked forward to regular fishing trips with friends. Jack found great joy in cooking, delighting in preparing meals and sharing them with others. He lived a good life and will be remembered for his sharp mind, kind heart, and the many ways he enriched the lives of those around him. We invite family and friends to celebrate Jack's life in Florida on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at Coopers Town Pavilion next to the ballpark in Solivita (the community where Jack lived) 395 Village Drive, Kissimmee, Florida, 34759. from 12pm-2pm. There will be no formal visitation. A celebration of life will be held in Wisconsin at a later date. Please check this page for future updates. Expressions of sympathy, including cards or memorials, may be sent to the family at 4950 78th St E. Bradenton FL 34203 c/o Jackie Voit.
