Donald Willard Robinett passed away February 14, 2024, at the age of 92, from viral pneumonia. Donald was born on May 22, 1931, in the little rural community of Blakeney in Red River County, Texas.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Margie Pruitt Robinett.
Donald is survived by his son, Larry (Deedee); daughter, Carol Stehling (Don); grandson, Josh; granddaughters, Ashley Wahrmund (Tyson), Katie Robinett, Megan Burris (J.T.), Kristen Stehling (Shawn Holub) and Tiffany Schott (Rodney). He also had great-grandchildren, Brantley, Travis, Kaylee, Austin, Tyler, Laynie, Michaela and Mackenze Wilkes.
Donald was an Army veteran where he trained as a medic. Later in the 1960s, he joined the Air Force Reserves.
Donald and Margie grew up together in the East Texas piney woods, where he chopped down some of those pines, fished, hunted and rode his horse to school. Donald and Margie married December 22, 1948 at just 16 and 17 years old. They moved to Kerrville in 1952 at his brother, Terrell’s urging. Donald and Terrell painted houses together until Donald got a job at the VA. He got his real estate license in the 1960s. Upon retiring from the VA, he went into real estate full time. He continued to paint houses on the side. He enjoyed fixing up houses. He was sad he wasn’t physically able to help work on his daughter’s new house!
Funeral services will be at 11:00 am, Saturday, February 17, 2024, in the chapel at Garden of Memories, 3250 Fredericksburg Road in Kerrville.
