Robbie was born June 29, 1957 to Bobby Gene Smith and Nina Rosetta (Barnes) Smith in Kansas City, MO.  He grew up in Cass County and attended Sherwood High School in Creighton, Missouri.  After high school, Robbie joined the US Marine Corps and was stationed in San Diego, California.

He later worked in Kansas City as supervisor over maintenance in a very large home rental company.  Robbie was also very knowledgeable in auto mechanics and home construction, having many family and friends call him frequently to come help fix something.  He was always glad to help.

After moving to Warsaw, Robbie enjoyed attending the Assembly of God Church in Warsaw, MO.  He found a new life and had found happiness in church friends, family and his rekindled relationship with God.

Robbie had many interests, one of which was fishing.  He spent many nights on the fishing banks.  He loved playing guitar and singing, and he was very good at it, playing from time to time in bands.  Robbie loved getting together with family and just being with the ones he loved.  He loved tinkering with broken video machines just to see if he could get them working, and he usually did.
