Uncle Robin as he is affectionately called, will always be remembered for his hard work, care and Love of Family.
Some of the memories l have of Uncle Robin is that he and my Mom (Sister Elsie) loved gardening and they both had 'green thumbs ' . Quite often, they would exchange flowers/plants with each other.
Whenever we heard that Uncle Robin was coming home from sea, we would always get excited because we knew we were going to get goodies.
His kindness to family was evident. After the passing of my Mom, he invited us along with his siblings to his house at Breezy Hill and served us lunch. We were given a tour of the gardens where he had many exotic plants. We also had a picturesque view of the city below him.
Uncle Robin, you will always be remembered. Sleep in Eternal Peace.
My condolences to Mercylyn, the children and grandchildren.

It was truly a privilege to have known Mr. Ellis. He exuded constant joy whilst in his presence. We always ensured that we kept in touch as he would constantly remind me that it is important to maintain good relationships.. I learnt so much from him on how to achieve inner peace... Sometimes I still look forward to our Sunday phone calls! He will be truly missed...

I met Mr. Ellis about maybe 10 or 14 years ago. What can you say of someone who is kind, happy, always smiling. He was such a happy person. Mr. Ellis never came to MoBay & him nuh have yam, mango, pineapple anything but he's never empty handed. Lord you alone know the reason. Whenever Piper is here in JA. Mr. Ellis is with him ( He was such a joy) I miss him. Funny out of the blue he called me to ask if I was ok & keeping safe we spoke for a while & he said Ms. Angela I don't know when I'll see you again & I said cho Piper soon come again all you have to do is keep safe & wear you mask an we laugh. Lord I can't express how I'm feeling. Lord have Mercy & may his Soul RIP.

I knew Brother Ellis from chicken shop in Milford there Sister Gibbs /Aunt Ruth use to work , two of the realist and genuine people I met in my life time. I then met him at Church and admired his spirit later I started working at Meldam with Alvis as my coworker who i later learnt is his niece, small world. This man was a genuine, and godly man . He lived a fullfilled and Godly life . He has ran the race, kept the faith and now his time has come to rest . Sleep on Bro Ellis. My condolences to his immediate family, Church family and all his associates. From: I and Sis Junie Brown Harris

I learned to be kind, Bro. Ellis was a person to share. I have some palm trees at home that I got from him and was to go back for some more. We had some good times reasoning together.

From Vernon Ellis:
Mercylyn and family. I wish I could be there with you all to attend my brother's funeral, but during this time with the pandemic I will be unable to attend but I am happy I can do it this way.
I am one of seven brothers and two sisters.
Robin was a good brother to me. While I was here in Canada for awhile he would take care of things in Jamaica for me. He was a very dedicated brother which meant alot to me.
You will be missed my brother.
Rest in peace

On behalf of my husband Oneil Sylvester, Blanche, Claudette and Yvonne Ellis we send our deepest condolences to Aunt Mercylyn and the family. We pray that God will keep you strong and give you peace during this saddened time.
Uncle Robin was such a hard worker, always on the move, but he took time out of his busy schedule to pick us up and take us up to Breezy Hill when we visited from Canada. We'd pick mangoes others fruits, eat and enjoy our time. Those memories will never be forgotten.
To the family we hope that his memories will keep you strong and just remember God will never take you to a door that he cannot open.
Uncle, may you rest in the arms the Lord who formed you from the dust of the earth and the angels welcome you now that you have gone from this life, and Christ welcome you into his garden of paradise.
You are gone but will never be forgotten.
Love you.

Even as a child I can remember uncle Robin as a serious minded individual. It seems he was always working, always in constant motion. My childhood memories are of the love and care he showed to our grandmother. Growing up he was away at sea but regardless of how little time he had when he was home, he would always stop by to say hi to “sister Elsie” with whom he will be reunited in heaven. As children we look forward to his visits because of the variety of candies we would get. I remember he loved to tease and as he laughed it was as if he was trying hard not to burst out laughing. In my adult years uncle Robin now a husband, father, grandfather kept the same busy pace I remember him keeping when I was a child. Maybe this attribute was always there and I only saw it as an adult but uncle Robin the smiling quiet uncle I knew had a spine of steel. He said what he means and means what he said. He was not afraid to confront those of low or high esteem and was not afraid to use the word of God to correct. I will always remember how quickly he was by our mother’s bedside when I called and told him she was taken to the hospital. He was the last member of her family that she saw and my siblings and I will always be grateful for that final act of kindness he showed to her/us. A few days after her funeral he invited us all along with his siblings to his home surrounded by a beautiful garden with a great view where he served us lunch. It showed the same care I saw on display as a child, he was just a caring loving man. It is the Lord who ordered his steps and he has now called him home to be at eternal rest from his labors. May he sleep in peace.
Sincere condolences to Mercylyn, children and grandchildren.

A Successful Man
By Bessie Anderson Stanley

That man is a success –
who has lived well, laughed often and loved much;
who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who leaves the world better than he found it;
who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it.;
who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.
These are some of the attributes of uncle Robin.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his ways.... Psalm 37:23
Uncle Robin as affectionately called in our family circle was my Mom's fourth youngest brother. He was a loving, kind-hearted, humble, knowledgeable and outspoken uncle. He has touched so many lives by his selfless and countless acts of kindness. He was a firm believer in the Lord and always expressed praises and thanks to God his maker.
I remembered how he never failed to visit us so often especially when it's Mango, Breadfruit and Starfruit season because we were sure to receive our bag of goodies. I can also remember on one occasion when he visited and saw Mom's stock medicines he remarked" Sister Blanch what you doing with so many medicines you can go open a Pharmacy" and so when he became ill we all felt the pains he had suffered for so long.
A couple of weeks before his passing he had promised to come and spend a day with his only Sister Blanch but that wasn't to be because the Lord saw it fit to call him home and so we didn't get to say goodbye and now all we can do is cry and reminiscence on his precious memories, he was truly a loving Brother to his only Sister Blanch.
We will certainly cherish the times we had with Uncle Robin especially when we visit him, he would sure to prepare the most delicious, nutritious, sumptuous meal and natural juice for us to enjoy. He was an excellent Chef.
While we mourn his passing we also take comfort in the fact that his mission on earth have been accomplished.
Sleep in Peace Uncle Robin. You are gone but not forgotten.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. May God keep you strong and united through this tough time.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.”

I remember about 35 years ago He was willing to take me in a part of His family. I will always remember his kindness and caring ways. The last time I visited him I roamed the property and reaped from the fruits of His labor. His life was a blessing and His memory a treasure.

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget" --Author Unknown

May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten.
