Thomas Robakiewicz Obituary

Published by Legacy on Feb. 9, 2026.
Thomas Martin Robakiewicz, 80, of Brooklyn, Michigan, passed away on February 7, 2026, at ProMedica Charles and Virginia Hickman Hospital, Adrian, Michigan. Tom's friends will gather Friday, February 13, 2026, from 10:00 am – 11:00 am at the St. Joseph Shrine Catholic Church, Brooklyn. His Mass of Christian burial will be said at 11:00 am. Interment will take place following the service. Rev. Fr. Bob Pienta will serve as celebrant.

He was born on July 29, 1945, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Walter and Dorothy (Skarb) Robakiewicz. He will be remembered as being a very generous, independent person that set an example for others. Tom was afflicted with polio at the age of seven, but never complained. He was strong in his faith and attended St. Joseph Shrine Catholic Church regularly. Tom was an avid reader and loved to explore cities, foods and his polish history. He never tasted a food he did not like. He enjoyed gardening and had a Bonsai tree he sculpted for many years. Tom cherished his time driving his 1970 Camero and he frequently could be found fishing in the canal on Wampler's Lake. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Tom is survived by his many friends, and St. Joseph Shrine Parish family.
