Robinson Surrounded by his loving family, Howard Archie Robinson left this world on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 to embark on a new adventure with loved ones that awaited him. All the lives he touched will be richer Howard Robinson for knowing him. He was born to Hester Little and Archie Robinson in Mountain Green, Utah on March 25, 1925, the third of seven children. He attended school at Peterson Elementary and Morgan High School before being drafted into the US Army in 1943, where he honorably served his country during World War II. He fought in France and Germany and was severely wounded for which he was moved to Ogden, where I was reared and educated. I was married to, and divorced from, Everett Barney. I then married the love of my life, Stanley F. Brown, in Elko, Nevada on November 15, 1949. Our marriage was solemnized in the Ogden LDS Temple. Stanley passed away January 10, 1972. I was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 39th Ward, now the 4th Ward of the South Ogden Stake. I was active in Primary and Cub Scouting for many years, enjoyed genealogy, and was active in PTA. I enjoyed music, crafts, traveling, and cooking for my family and friends. I had been employed with Shupe Williams Candy, Federal Huber West Bend, and Chromolox, all of Ogden, retiring in 1990. I am survived by my two sons, Joel F. (Bonnie) Brown, Idaho Falls, ID; Gene S. (Kelly) Brown, West Point; three grandsons, Jeremy, Kyland (Jen), and Dallas (Luci); two great-grandsons, Colby and Devin; and two great-granddaughters, Jade and Jillian.

After graduating from High School, Donna attended Utah State University in Logan where she received a 1st place prize in the instrumental category. On June 10, 1946, Donna was married to Keith Lowell McKay in the Salt Lake Temple moving to Meridian, Idaho area right after the reception. Donna was active all her life in the LDS church, holding many positions. She and Keith raised eight children in Meridian, Idaho, teaching them all how to work hard, attend church meetings, and to try and get along. During these years, many friends and family members attended “Valley picnics” where Keith and Donna reminisced about life in the Eden/Huntsville areas as they grew up. These stories taught us to love that area as well, and we enjoyed the few times we visited. Donna worked at the Cash Bazaar in Meridian, Birdseye in Nampa, but the longest she worked outside the home was at Mercy Medical Center, from October 1967 to December 1998. She loved those years and her association with everyone there. Donna is survived by their children: Richard (Trisha) McKay, Holladay, Utah; Peggy (Steven) Jenkins, Boise, Idaho; Reed (Julie) McKay, Emmett, Idaho; Kenneth (Pam), Nampa, Idaho; Roseann (Brent Lee) Coles, Greenleaf, Idaho; Darrell (Debbie), Estacada, Oregon; Kristy (Lorin) Jenkins, Meridian, Idaho; Lori (Miles) Littlefield, Genoa City, Wisconsin.

He returned home in December 1945 and worked on his parent’s ranch and saw mill. On March 24, 1947, Howard married Ruby Stephens in Elko, Nevada. Their marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple one year later. Together they had nine children. He was an amazing provider, often working two, sometimes three, jobs to support his family. He worked tirelessly with never a complaint and it was by his example that his children learned his incredible work ethic. He was an auto mechanic at the Sunset Garage, a caterpillar operator, volunteer firefighter, police officer, Chief of Police in Sunset, security at Hill Air Force Base, and with long hours and determination he started and built Robinson Refuse Service into a huge success. In 1985, he sold his business and retired, taking up golf, going fishing, and spending some welldeserved time with his family. With a lot of hard work and love, Howard built his home in Sunset where he lived until 1967. He then built his home in Clinton where he loved farming his five acres of land. He spent many blissful hours riding on his tractor, tending his fields, and growing tomatoes. The highlight of each year was going deer hunting with his sons and brothers. Losing Howard will leave a huge gap in many lives. But we are comforted with eighty three years of memories and the knowledge that he is with Heavenly Father once again. Howard is survived by his wife, Ruby; four sons and four daughters: Randall Howard Robinson and Leanne R. Ingles, Clinton; Steven Curtis (Karen) Robinson, Riverdale; Lori (Rodney) Clark and Linda R.

He was born on February 23, 1917, Roberts Carver in Clearfield, Utah to Lewis Henry Carver and Alice Afton Freestone. He met his eternal companion, Hilma Leavitt, while she was his nurse at St. Marks Hospital. They were married in the Logan Temple.

He learned to dance because the girls wouldn’t date anyone who couldn’t dance. He graduated with a Bachelors Degree from Weber State.

His career spanned 37 years starting at the “Arsenal.” In 1943, he started as a patrolman with the Ogden City Police Department where he rose through the ranks to Captain. He did everything from searching the east bench hillside for a missing little boy to the infamous “shootout” at Dick’s Cafe on 25th Street. His many lectures on the evils of crime to various Boy Scout troops are talked about even today. He attended polygraph school and was a 1963 graduate of the FBI National Academy. A leading pioneer in detective work, he was chosen to start the Ogden City/Weber County Mobile Crime Lab (CSI)—one of the first of its kind in the nation.
