Robbie was born to Robert Harrison, who preceded him in death, and Darlene White Harrison on September 7, 1955. He graduated from Clinton High School with the Class of 1973.

Faded pictures that we found show him when he was young and proud. He ran hard and loud. He was a man to be reckoned with. He played ball, wrestled, fished, and drove his cars hard. He worked jobs that weren’t for the faint of heart; roofing, working on oil rigs, and iron working. The softer side of Robbie was not seen by many, but the love he had for his mother revealed it. He took care of her and they had a bond that death can’t break.

Robbie is survived by his mother, Darlene White Harrison, two sisters, Jill Harrison Barnhart, and Jana Harrison Collins, his nieces, Cristin Berg, Irelynn Collins, and nephews, Chance Barnhart and Jack Collins.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Vansant-Mills Funeral Home in Clinton, Missouri.
