Billy A. Robinson

Billy Ashley Robinson, 78, of White Bluff, TN, passed away on August 14, 2025. A devoted Christian and proud Tennessean, Billy lived a life full of passion, service, and love for his family and community.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 59 years, Shirley Ann Robinson; his parents, Hiram and Everland Robinson; and his brother, Hiram Robinson Jr. Billy is survived by his loving children, Cindy (Rex) Dorris and Billy (Zarina) Robinson Jr.; his adored grandchildren, Audrianna (Tate) Houff, Nathaniel Dorris, Dallas and Ashley Robinson; and his faithful dog, Noel.

A proud Mason, Billy was an active member of the Masonic Lodge and Masonic Camping Club, where he forged lifelong friendships. He reveled in the open road as a member of the Nashville Corvette Club, driving his prized Corvette in parades, homecomings, and car shows—though his lead foot in his Ford Grand Torino earned him a few speeding tickets along the way.

Billy’s enthusiasm for life was contagious. Whether coaching his kids’ sports teams, popping popcorn at school events, boating on sunny days, or walking beaches until he was sunburned. Billy loved being the funny jokester of the group and bowling every chance he got with friends and family, he embraced every moment. He cherished vacations, especially cruises, and never missed cheering on his Tennessee Vols or Dallas Cowboys.

Pallbearers: Rex Dorris, Nathaniel Dorris, Billy Robinson Jr., Dallas Robinson, Tate Houff and Ronnie Luffman. Officiating the Service will be Pastor David Estes and Daryl Demonbreum.
