Brian Allen Robinson

Brian Allen Robinson, age 29, of Clarkston, died Tuesday, May 25, 2021. Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Mackenzie Robinson; his two sons: Hunter and Parker Robinson; his father and stepmother, Timothy and Jody Robinson; his mother, Dawn Hebert; his loving brothers: Tim, David, Jacob, along with his brother from another mother, Christopher Adams; his grandmother, Christine Robinson; his grandfather, John Cotaling; many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins; and one of his greatest companions: his English lab, Abby.

Brian was born May 16, 1992, in Pontiac, the son of Mr. Timothy Robinson and Dawn Hebert. Brian graduated from Clarkston High School with the class of 2010. It was there that he met Mackenzie Smolek; the two started dating, fell in love, and were married on September 24, 2016. After high school, Brian began his career in residential rough frame construction, and worked building houses with his family for over ten years.

In his free time, Brian could always be found in nature. His strong passion for the outdoors led him to some of his favorite hobbies: hunting and fishing. He would often take hunting and fishing trips up north with his family and close friends; and when he took family vacations, they often turned into fishing expeditions on the Betsie River in Cadillac, or hunting on the family property in West Branch. Brian often enjoyed the company of his dog Abby, who loved to go out hunting with him.

Most of all, Brian loved to spend time with his boys, Hunter and Parker. He loved being their dad, and treasured every moment spent with them. Brian loved his family and friends so much; and he will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of crossing his path in life.

Brian was preceded in death by his Papa Richard Robinson; and his cousin, Jennifer Robinson.
