STEEP FALLS- Stephen “Steve” Glen Robbins, passed away on Friday March 28th at 7:23am at age 70, surrounded by those who loved him. He was born in Saco, Maine on September 12, 1954, a son of the late Clifton Robbins and Rose (Godin) Neuts.
He is predeceased by his brother Peter Robbins and sister Jean Astwood.
He is survived by his brothers Derek Neuts, Kerry Neuts, and Michael Neuts; his children- Kelly McDougall, Lisa Donahue, Joshua Robbins and Katie Fredette; his 8 grandchildren- Dakota Donahue, Michael Donahue Jr., Jennifer Donahue, Farrah Donahue, Maddison Robbins, Kayden Fredette, Conner Fredette and Cora McDougall.
After graduating from Westbrook High School he worked for the City of Westbrook for over 20 years. One of his greatest accomplishments was being able to volunteer as a firefighter for 21 years with the City of Westbrook. He volunteered as a firefighter and EMS for 7 years with the Town of Gorham. He faced cancer the way he faced everything in life—with strength, resilience, and on his own terms taking things one day at a time seeing what the next day brings.
Steve didn’t lose a battle with cancer—because cancer never defined him. He lived his life with strength, love, and a fierce determination to make the most of every moment. Steve said “God has plans for me. He has a plan for everybody in life. When the time is ready to come to God, he will let you know. He’s saying ‘Well, it’s time for you to come up here with me’ then so be it”
A graveside service with Fire Fighter Honors will be held on Friday April 11th at 11 AM at Woodlawn Cemetery, Stroudwater St., Westbrook.
