Todd Lynn Robinson

Lifelong Alaskan Todd Lynn Robinson, 57, passed away on December 12, 2023, of kidney failure at Mat-Su Hospital in Palmer, Alaska.

Todd was born May 23, 1966, in Odessa, Texas to Gary and Jerri Robinson, but lived in Alaska nearly his entire life. He graduated from Chugiak High School in 1984 with high honors, but ultimately found his passion as a sheet metal worker, enjoying the design and build aspects of that profession. He left his mark on the schools, libraries, and military buildings he helped build, serving with pride in his own way. Known as the ‘Ice Tinner’ he retired early due to disability.

Todd married Michelle L. McFarland in 2009, and was father to Joshua Robinson, Cassi Vela, and Dawnyel DeRose by prior marriage to Toby (Pearce) Robinson.

From his family “Todd was a kind and gentle soul with a sense of humor for every occasion, and one who sought to persevere despite the challenges he faced in life. He was loved dearly by his family who never lost sight of, and who will forever carry in their hearts, the brilliant spark of life that he was.”

Todd is survived by his wife, Michelle Robinson, his daughters; Cassi Vela, her husband Bud, and Dawnyel DeRose, her husband Josh, his grandchildren Asa and Langstin Vela, Zech, Veronica, and Sebastian Robinson, and his great grandchildren Tobias and Sinna Robinson. He is also survived by his parents Gary and Jerri Robinson, his sister Erin Sedor, her husband Shawn, his niece and nephews Nicole Tingstrom, her husband Dan, Kyle Sedor, his wife Anastasia, Jesse Sedor, his wife Gabrielle, as well as grand-nieces and nephew Lila and Jax Tingstrom, and Salem Sedor. He was preceded in death by his son Joshua in 2018.

Todd’s final wish was cremation, no service will be held.
