“CrazyHorse” Kurt Arnold Robinson

December 29, 1948 – April 10, 2026

Kurt was preceded in death by his daddy, Arnold Robinson and his step-mom Velva, “Toe”, Robinson, a daughter, Christa Langlitz and his loving wife of 40 years, Debra “Cricket” Hiatt Robinson.

Many things could be shared in the next several 1,000 pages from the life and times of CrazyHorse, but the ones that matter the most are his family and friends who have in our hearts the memories of Kurt in rare form as always! Kurt was big hearted and caring toward those who were down and out. Kurt was always quick to bring an uplifting facial expression, just when it was needed.

CrazyHorse is survived by his daughter Melissa, “HotRod”, Robinson and his son Zach, “Ponyboy” Robinson. Siblings surviving Kurt include, Rita Thacker, Rhonda Roberts, Randy Robinson and Sondra Robinson. Kurt’s surviving In-Laws include, Joe Hiatt, Robert Hiatt, Traci Hiatt and Jon Hiatt.

Sgt. Kurt Arnold Robinson served in the US Army serving in Vietnam, earning two Purple Hearts, two Bronze Stars and many more notable service awards and the Combat Infantry Badge. Kurt wasn’t the bragging and boasting kind, but all of us who know him are so proud of Kurt’s meritorious service to the United States of America. Thank you Sgt Robinson for your service!

Kurt has a very special Vietnam Veteran Brother in Dickie, “The Boss”, Duncan and another special ‘Brother’ Jeff, “Jeffro”, Powell, Mike Price was another of these special Brothers in Kurt’s life as well as cousin “Chigger”, Keenan Dale Robinson. JoeJoe Reynolds has been keeping up with Kurt for the better part of a year and half now, Thanks JoeJoe. Please do not be offended if ya name wasn’t mentioned, your friendship and brotherhood with Kurt wasn’t unnoticed, each of you had a place in his heart, Kurt gave you great memories if ya meant anything to him and if ya didn’t, you knew it!
