Sewell, age 91 of Pisgah, AL. passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. He was born on August 15th, 1934 to Floyd and Pauline Sewell. Robin was a 1954 graduate of his hometown alma mater, Pisgah High School. After high school, he went on to marry the love of his life, Bobbie Ruth Hendricks of Rosalie, AL. Robin was a dedicated and loyal husband, friend, and soul mate for Mrs. Bobbie for over 70 years. Robin joined the military (U.S. Air Force) after high school and proudly served for 20 years before retiring in 1974 - afterwards moving back home close to his beloved parents that he and Mrs. Bobbie helped care for until their departure from this earth. Robin and Mrs. Bobbie traveled the world during his Air Force career and went on to have two beautiful, amazing, kind, and caring daughters: Marion (Leachy) Sewell Beckley (husband Phil now deceased) and Vickie Lynn Sewell Millican Aaron (husband Gene). Both of them were born while Robin was stationed in Albuquerque, NM. Marion currently resides in Henagar while Vickie currently resides in Rosalie. Mr. Robin was an extremely proud patriot for his country, and he served with honor and pride in the United States Air Force. In his career, he and his family served and resided in numerous states and countries around the world: Tampa, FL; Albuquerque, NM; Washington, D.C.; Athens, Greece; Altus; OK, Newfoundland, Korea; Spain, Hawaii, Fairbanks, Alaska; and Las Vegas, NV. During his time in Washington, D.C., Robin had the distinguished honor of serving as a member of President John F. Kennedy’s Presidential Honor Guard. Following his retirement in 1974, Mr. Robin and Mrs. Bobbie returned to their hometown area of Pisgah and resided in Rosalie - where he proceeded to build their beautiful country home they would live in until his death. He worked part-time jobs in security at Norandal Aluminum in Scottsboro, and he eventually founded the Henagar Pawn Shop in Henagar, AL. He enjoyed hunting and fishing (especially in Alaska). One of the things his family remembers most about him was his huge heart for abused/abandoned animals. He and Mrs. Bobbie were known to take on a family of almost any kind of abandoned, abused, or even wild animal: dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, raccoons, possums, skunks. Yes, skunks. At one time, Robin and Mrs. Bobbie took on wild, motherless skunk babies and raised them as pets. It might have been odd for some people to see such a huge military-hero figure of a man like Robin caring so much for these animals, but it was all a true reflection of his caring heart. Anyone that knew Robin knew that he was most proud of his daughters, his grandchildren, and his great grandchildren (2 children, 4 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren). He loved them all so much, and he would often brag about them to anyone willing to listen. Mr. Robin's pride in his country, his devout and unquestioned patriotism, his sincere/dedicated sacrifice for his country, and his deep conservative values are what he thought we should fight for every day of our lives. His family members are so proud of what he was able to accomplish and of who he was as a person. Robin truly loved his parents, his friends, and his beautiful bride of 70+ years. He will be greatly missed by many. Kerby Funeral Home Directing, www.kerbyfuneralhome.com.
