Ypsilanti
Timothy Joe Robb, age 74, passed away on July 17, 2026, in Belleville, Michigan. He was born on May 1, 1952, in Detroit, Michigan, to Benny Joe and Gertrude "Trudy" (France) Robb.
Tim was a hardworking man whose career as a mechanic, welder, and truck driver spanned 46 years before retiring in 2016. During his working years, he was employed by Colwell, Draw-Tite, and England before retiring in 2016. He was known for his strong work ethic, willingness to lend a hand, and ability to fix just about anything.
Outside of work, Tim enjoyed life's simple pleasures. He was a longtime member of the Van Buren FOE #3996 and found happiness in camping, fireworks, and cooking steak dinners for his family. He loved dogs, enjoyed sailing, and challenging himself with logic puzzles, computer games, and solving problems. Whether he was building, repairing, tinkering with projects, or helping someone in need, Tim was happiest when working with his hands and putting his skills to good use.
Tim is survived by his daughter, Kathrina Robb; his grandchildren, Evangelina Robb-Fomina and Killian McClaren; his siblings, Sharon Auquier, Nancy McTaggert, Karen Davis, and David Robb; along with eight nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 55 years, Pamela (Tait) Robb; his parents, Benny Joe and Trudy Robb; and his sister, Kathleen Robb.
A funeral service will be held 1 pm Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at Van Buren FOE #3996 (9961 Beck Road, Belleville) with visitation beginning at 12 pm. Tim will be laid to rest next to his wife in Hamburg Cemetery, Hamburg Township.
