James Marcus “Jim” Robison was born on October 6, 1940, in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, to June Cecil and Virginia (Patrick) Robison. On October 10, 2026, just four days after celebrating his 86th birthday, Jim reached the end of his earthly road. And for a man who loved classic cars, a good race, and anything with an engine, it's only fitting that we remember him as someone who enjoyed the ride.
Jim was raised by his aunt and uncle, Reba and Ray Robison, and grew up to become a man with plenty of interests and an appreciation for the simple pleasures in life. He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force before making a living as a self-employed appliance repairman. When Jim wasn't working, there was a good chance his attention was on something with four wheels. He loved classic cars, car shows, and NASCAR racing.
Of course, cars weren't his only interests. Jim enjoyed collecting guns, pocket knives, and coins, and he had a particular fondness for Shar-Pei dogs. He also loved Colorado, a cold Coca-Cola, and just about anything sweet. Some folks have expensive tastes, but Jim knew that sometimes the finer things in life came in a Coke bottle or with a little sugar on top.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, June Cecil and Virginia Robison; his beloved wife, Judy Robison; his sons, Wayne Robison and Nathan Allen; his siblings, Kenneth Robison and Carolyn Judy Robison Wheeler; and his aunt and uncle who raised him, Reba and Ray Robison.
Those left to cherish his memory include his brother, William P. Johnson; his nephew, Shawn Johnson and wife Holly; his niece, Julie McCandless and husband Larry; his special friend, Curtis Lamb; a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and many other relatives and friends.
Jim's story was 86 years in the making, filled with family, service, hard work, fast cars, loyal dogs, and plenty of sweets. While his race here on earth has come to an end, the memories he leaves behind will keep his story going for years to come.
