Robbie Lee Robertson: A Life of Service and Love | Amarillo News

Robbie Lee Robertson, a beloved Texan from Dumas who lived life with grit and grace, passed away at 74 after a courageous battle with ALS. Born in Oklahoma, he moved to Dumas as a teen, graduated high school, served proudly in the Army in Germany, and married his high school sweetheart Joy — their 54-year love story a testament to enduring devotion. A hardworking man who spent decades with Natural Gas Pipeline Company, Robbie later found joy in his grandchildren and kept busy with pipeline inspections and even driving a school bus. He is survived by Joy, his children Kelli and Chad, grandkids Alex and Laura, sister Jo Anna, and a wide circle of nieces, nephews, and friends. His memorial service will be held August 15 at First Baptist Church in Dumas — and in lieu of flowers, donations to the Paralyzed Veterans of America or any charity of choice are requested.
