Lendis B. (LB) Robinson, age 96, of Argos, passed away peacefully on November 15, 2025, fittingly on the opening day of gun season—his favorite day of the year and a tradition he cherished for nearly half a century.
LB was born in Newton County, Arkansas on November 6, 1929.
On November 3, 1951, he married the love of his life Joyce M. Meyers and together they shared nearly 70 years with each other.
LB spent his life working hard and building a legacy defined by dedication, family, and a deep respect for the land. He spent many years in the timber business and owned businesses alongside his brother - Robinson Brothers Poultry and Robinson Brothers Philips 66 Service Station in Noblesville, the Big C Restaurant in Arcadia, and Willow Lake Fishing Pond in Sheridan.
No matter the job, he approached work with quiet determination and a strong sense of pride.
At the age of 60, he built what would become his final home place—a beautiful, park-like setting complete with ponds he shaped stone by stone with his own hands. It was a landscape that reflected who he was: steadfast and committed to creating something that would last.
He loved his family above all else. His happiest moments were spent around the table, surrounded by his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, trading stories and laughter late into the night. He was a gifted storyteller—funny, sharp, and full of the kind of memories that only a long life well-lived can hold.
Hunting, especially deer hunting and fishing were some of his greatest joys. He continued going out until just three years ago, and the woods were truly his second home. The fact that he left this world on opening day feels like a quiet blessing and a final nod to a lifetime spent outdoors.
LB is survived by his daughter – Pam Ulch of Noblesville, Indiana. Son, Gary Robinson and his Significant Other Mercedes Velo of Sebring, Florida; and his son and daughter-in-law Steve and Harvi Robinson of Argos, Indiana. 5 Grandchildren and 6 Great Grandchildren and soon to be seven.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife of 70 years, Joyce Robinson; five brothers, Coy, Raymond, Roy, Homer and Remmel; and a sister, Ruth.
He leaves behind a family who loved him deeply and who will forever hold his stories, his lessons, and his unwavering strength close to their hearts.
He will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on—in the land he shaped, the stories he told, and the family he loved so fiercely.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at the Robinson residence, 7530 20th Road, Argos, Indiana. Followed with visiting with the family until 4 p.m., please come prepared to share your favorite LB story.
