Obituary of Bruce Howard Robbins

Bruce Howard Robbins was born in Detroit, Michigan on September 8, 1955, to the union of Ransom and Madelyne (Milatz) Robbins. After graduating High School, Bruce found employment with the United States Postal Service and worked as a mail carrier until his retirement in 2010.

Bruce had an enduring spirit and was a die-hard Lions fan who stood by his team, win or lose. He also enjoyed the simple pleasures of putzing around the house, learning the art of laser engraving, and reveling in the beauty of the Smokey Mountains.

Bruce married the love of his life, Vickie LaMontaine in 2010, and together they blended their families like a real-life Brady Bunch. His devotion to those he loved was incomparable and his big heart and compassionate nature will be deeply missed.

Bruce Howard Robbins, age 68, of Monroe, Michigan passed away on July 23, 2024, at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. His passing was preceded by his parents: Ransom and Madelyn Robbins; sisters: Lynn Wertman and Gail Barr.

His memory will be fondly carried on by his beloved wife: Vickie Robbins, and children: Jeff Robbins (Taylor Kennedy), Michael Robbins (Renee Metcalf), Tina (Eugene) Worden, Justin (Brittiany) Bradley, and Cristal (Kevin) Homeister; brother: Jim (Doris) Robbins; sister: Cheryl; six grandchildren: Gage and Teagan Bradley, Aubrie, Kevin Jr., and Nicklas Homeister, and Rubie Worden; well as many loving nieces and nephews; and his loyal companion: dog, Charlie.
