Billy Glynn Robinson

Billy G. Robinson, 94, a resident of Datil, NM passed from this life into the arms of his savior Jesus Christ on October 5, 2025, while being cared for by his daughters in Prescott Valley, AZ. He was born on April 13, 1931, in Bryan’s Mill, TX to Robert and Gladine Robinson, one of four children. The family moved to Santa Fe, NM where he met the love of his life, Patricia Marie Whited, and they were married on October 15, 1954. Together, they were married 69 years, raised six children, loved each other and God, and lived a life full of challenges and adventure. Bill served his country in the Navy during the Korean War. Returning to the States, he became a skilled carpenter, working on such prestigious projects such as the Glorieta Conference Center. Once he met Patricia and her brothers, he became enamored with motorcycles, which set him on the path of motorcycle racing, becoming a well-known master mechanic, and owning two Harley Davidson motorcycle businesses. After selling these businesses, Bill obtained his pilot’s license, flying all over the United States, Canada, and South America. Later, Bill and Patricia lived on a beautiful 40-acre spread near Datil, NM. Most importantly, he loved God, and it was his greatest pleasure to share the “Roman Road” every chance he got. Bill served as a mission pastor in Glenwood, NM, provided pulpit supply for Southern Baptist Churches throughout New Mexico, and worked in prison ministries. He loved children, including all his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and children of the churches he attended. They were all very precious to Bill and he always had a pocket full of candy for them. Bill is survived by his sister, Becky Yeates (husband Tom Yeates), his children, Janice McNally (husband Stephen McNally), their children Chris McNally (wife Michelle McNally), and April Bartok (husband Brian Bartok); Debra Richards (husband David Richards, deceased), their children David Richards, Jr. (wife Amber Richards), and Patricia Lu Ells (husband Brent Ells); Robert Robinson (wife Peggy Robinson); Billy P. Robinson; Diana Rubida (husband Alan Rubida), their children Katelyn Rubida and Amanda Rubida; Shelli Sutton (husband John Sutton), their children Alyce Kincanon (husband Franco Kincanon), and Matthew Sutton, 11 great-grandchildren and one great-grandchild on the way, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Patricia Robinson, parents, Robert and Gladine Robinson, brother Bob Robinson, brother Tom Robinson, and granddaughter Rachel Pounds. Bill will be greatly missed by all who have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know him.
