Jeremiah B. Robbins

Jeremiah Robbins went to be in the arms of Jesus after a brief illness on November 26th, 2023. The youngest of three children, he was born on April 24th, 1988, in Honesdale, Pa. to Bruce and Kathy Robbins with whom he resided. Jeremiah (the bullfrog) was his own unique individual. After spending time within the Dyberry Day Camp Program and graduating from Wallenpaupack High School, he went to work with the Human Resource Program (HRC). While at HRC, and “not in the day program,” he worked on the floor on such projects as “screws,” “Gentex,” or “The wire things.” He was never at a loss for words when it came to his absolute love of the family farm and John Deere tractors. He loved to talk about the latest thing being done on the farm from the cows, pigs, or haying. He also loved to call and give updates to family who couldn’t always be there and would regularly send text messages to family members “hi Jeremiah have a good day” followed with a smiley face or tractor emoji. When he wasn’t talking farm, he enjoyed watching shows like Cops, Family Matters, and Lawrence Welk or movies like Mrs. Doubtfire. He always made sure to take his sidekick Kovacs with him, which was his stuffed monkey named after the monkey in the movie.  Kovacs and Jeremiah travelled to Nevada, South Carolina, Harrisburg & Coplay. He could always quote his favorite lines from Mrs. Doubtfire. He was never shy about showing his patriotism and singing the Star-Spangled Banner or God Bless America. Along with his parents, Jeremiah is survived by his sister Julie Becker, her husband Chris, and their children Ethan and Natalie, his brother Jason Robbins and his wife Marissa and their children Morgan and Mason, his grandmothers Alberta B Robbins and Doris J Swendsen, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was predeceased by his grandfathers Robert J Robbins and Alfred I Swendsen, and an uncle Michael E Swendsen.

A celebration of life will be held on December 9th, 2023, at 11am in the sanctuary of the Central United Methodist Church in Honesdale with Pastor Eric L Funk officiating and a luncheon to follow.  Arrangements by Hessling Murray Funeral Home, 428 Main St. Honesdale.

At HRC, Jeremiah found belonging, purpose, and community. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in memory of Jeremiah to the Human Resources Center, Inc 294 Bethel School Rd. Honesdale Pa. 18431 or through the link https://www.hrfnepa.org/
