Robin Lee Patton passed away peacefully, with family by his side, on January 22, 2024, at the age of 63. He was born in Shelby, Ohio, July 1960, to Charles Duane Patton and Margaret Joan Patton (Swartz).
In 1962 Robin’s family moved to Arizona, joining other family members who had already ventured west. He remained in Arizona throughout his youth, spending weekends camping, fishing, boating, and spent many childhood summers visiting family in Ohio.
Robin moved to Washington state in 1981 where he worked in construction and eventually became a foreman. He later enrolled in culinary school and worked at one of the most popular restaurants in the Seattle area. He loved all animals, especially his beloved dog Buster. Robin’s calm nature made him somewhat of an animal whisperer.
Robin will be greatly missed by his family, and all who came to know him. He is survived by his two sisters, aunts, uncles, and many cousins.
His ashes are to be scattered in a private ceremony. May they become part of the natural world he cherished. In honor of Robin, consider contributing to a favorite charity—a meaningful way to celebrate his life and continue his legacy.
