Richard Steven (Steve) Robinson

On a beautiful fall afternoon, November 5, 2010, after a year-long battle with bladder cancer, Richard Steven (Steve) Robinson went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Steve was 62 years young and was surrounded by his family and friends at his bedside. Steve was born July 24, 1948 in Pasadena, Texas to Bessie Maude (Maudie) Shaw Robinson and James L (Dick) Robinson. Steve is survived by his parents and daughter, Erin Robinson Goode and her husband Neil, grandchildren Camden and Presley Goode, daughter Andrea Robinson Miller and husband David, sisters, Carol Robinson Byrd and husband Richard, Janice (Jan) Robinson Rogers and husband Tom, Donna Robinson Paschall and husband Walter, Mary Robinson Roe and husband Nathan, 11 nieces and nephews, 17 great-nieces and nephews, and a host of relatives and friends. Special friends include: The Deer Park graduating class of 1968, the ATO fraternity, Judy Campbell, Kathy Lovett, Sandy Moon, Mike McIver and Turk and Pam Epps. Steve was the first of five children; the last four being sisters. After each birth of yet another sister, he would tell his dad to just get him a dog if he couldn’t have a brother. Needless to say he had many, many puppies. Steve was an avid sports fan, so it was not a shock to us when he lettered in 4 sports in High School. He attended Deer Park High School and after completing his studies there, he went to Stephen F. Austin College on a football scholarship. He later transferred to Sam Houston State University in Huntsville where his family resided. In 1973, Steve married his high school sweetheart, Beverly Jones and had two precious girls, Erin Elizabeth and Andrea Lynn. Most of his life’s work was in the Commercial Realty business which led him to live in many areas of the state. In his last years, he resided here in Huntsville and was taking care of his parents and working with Mike McIver. Visitation will be Monday, November 8th from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Sam Houston Funeral Home. The funeral will be held at Northside Baptist Church on Tuesday, November 9th at 2:00 p.m. with Reverend Reagan Cooksey presiding. Interment will be immediately after the services in the Addicks Addition of Oakwood Cemetery where he will rest by his brother Mark Allen and grandparents Lena and Ben Robinson. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Steve’s name to Northside Baptist Church and to The Odyssey Hospice of Conroe, Texas. The family wishes to thank Dr. Seymour and the nursing staff, Dr. Wong and his office staff, the Odyssey Hospice angels, and Reverend Reagan Cooksey, without whom his journey would not have gone so smoothly.
