It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Robert
Crespin, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend,
who departed this life on April 3, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on
October 29, 1952, in Hereford, Texas, Robert lived a life filled with
love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to his family.

Robert's journey began at Dimmitt High School, and he later pursued
his passion for the open road by earning his Commercial Driver's
License from Amarillo College in 2007. In 1972, he courageously
enlisted in the United States Army, where he served as a tanker in the
esteemed Second Armored Division, known as "Hell on Wheels," and was
stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado.

In the spirited 1970s, Robert met the love of his life, Rosa Ortiz,
and their connection blossomed again in 2004. Together, they built a
home filled with warmth and joy, a testament to Robert's big heart and
his remarkable ability to prioritize others above himself. He was
known for his fun-loving personality, a passion for 70s and Country
music—particularly the timeless songs of Waylon Jennings and Merle
Haggard—and a unique one of a kind talent singing and his own unique
style of dancing that brought smiles to all around him.

Robert was preceded in death by his Parents; Flabio and Anita Crespin
along with seven siblings; Lewis, Al, Johnny, Frank, Donna, Mary and
Beatle

Robert is survived by his devoted wife, Rosa Crespin; children, Dalia
Burk and her husband Chris, and Fermin Sanchez and his wife Carmen;
his beloved grandchildren, Marcus Burk and his wife Mia, Lauren Burk,
Avri Burk, Levi Sanchez, and Belle Sanchez; as well as his two
sisters, Nora and Helen, and his brother Joe. He will also be a deeply
missed Uncle by numerous nieces, nephews, and a wide circle of friends
who were touched by his kindness and generosity.

Robert was passionate about reading his Bible and reciting scripture
from memory. He loved sports, proudly supporting the Green Bay Packers
and enjoying the thrills of UFC and boxing. You could probably find
Robert watching the History Channel and National Geographic taking in
all the knowledge that he could. He also found joy in the strategic
challenge of chess, often sharing his experiences and smiles with
those he loved.

Services will be conducted 11:00AM Saturday April 12th 2025 at Shafer
Mortuary Funeral Home 1502 S. Cleveland Amarillo, Texas 79102
