R. Shane Robinson

R. Shane Robinson, affectionately known as ‘the Shaner,’ passed away on June 29, 2024, at the age of 51 at his Lakeway, Texas home after a quick but valiant fight with cancer. Born on January 23, 1973, in Independence, Missouri, Shane was the beloved son of Bobbie Ellis-Robinson and Ronald Robinson. He leaves his wife Elizabeth Rush Robinson, daughter Siena Rush Robinson, and son Vander Shane Robinson. Services will be held at Lakeway Church on Saturday, July 27, at 10:00 a.m.

Shane graduated from Uvalde High School in 1991 and continued his education at Southwest Texas State University, where he graduated in 1998. His professional journey led him to become the General Manager of Brazos Forest Products in Austin, a position he held for the past 16 years. Shane’s energetic positivity and vigor drove growth within the company and inspired his team.

A devoted member of the Lakeway Church, Shane was deeply involved in religious activities. He served as a Sunday school teacher and an AWANA leader, participated in the Walk to Emmaus, and brought the role of Matthew to life in the church's Living Last Supper production. He took an active role in nurturing his children's Christian faith and upbringing.

Shane's commitment to his community was evident in as a soccer coach for the Gryffindors and Dragons. He was a man of many interests, dominating his Fantasy Football league year after year, thrill in mountain biking, and becoming an avid golfer; sharing these interests and time with his friends.

Shane is survived by his grandmother, Doris Jean Ellis; mother, Bobbie J. Robinson; father, Ronald G. Robinson; sister, Shandy J. Robinson-Baker; mother-in-law, Mary Jane Anderson; and father-in-law, David Martin Anderson, brother-in-law G. Clayton Anderson, and sister-in-law Bridgette Poyer-Anderson. He was a loving uncle to Emilee Baker, Brody Baker, Katie Baker, R. Tyler Anderson, and M. Bailey Anderson.

Shane never ended a phone conversation with family without saying, “I love you.” Shane, we love you, too, and we will dearly miss your presence on Earth.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the Lakeway Church in Shane’s memory. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.
