Born in Huntington on March 20, 1938, Phil was the son of the late William E. and Anna R. (Beaver) Robrock. He graduated from Union High School in 1956 and later served his country in the Army National Guard. On June 6, 1959, he was united in marriage to the love of his life, Jane M. McPeak, at the Union Church in Huntington County. Jane, his wife of 66 years, survives him.
Phil dedicated his professional life to a variety of endeavors, including being a lifetime farmer in Huntington County. He drove a bus for a few years for Huntington County Community Schools. An entrepreneur, he owned and operated Robrock TV Service and later Video Reflections, specializing in filming weddings. In his later years, he worked for Myers Funeral Home.
His faith in Jesus Christ was of paramount importance to Phil. He served in several areas and held leadership positions across multiple congregations over the years, including Union Church in Markle, Markle Church of Christ, and Chapel Hill Missionary Church in Markle, which he helped found. Most recently, he attended Emmanuel Community Church. In his free time, Phil enjoyed anything that was motorized—planes, tractors, and cars. He took flying lessons and enjoyed flying remote control planes. He loved to travel the U.S. in his motorhomes with Jane over the years and had made many lifelong friends along the way.
In addition to his wife, Jane, survivors include two sons, Rodney Robrock (fiancé Mary) of Fort Wayne and Chad Robrock (Cathy) of Lutz, Florida; a daughter-in-law, Cindy Elliott; five grandchildren: Jessica (Deric) Brown, Trae Nelson (Kimmy) Robrock, Kylia (Logan) Rowe, Chandra Robrock, and Logan Phillip William (Kelley) Robrock; and nine great-grandchildren: Emma, Sophie, Luke Nelson, Jake, Talon, Vanessa, Henry George, William David, and Reece.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his son Nelson Phillip Robrock (1984), and his sister Betty L. Hite (2024).
