Robert Hoilfield

August 12, 1969 — November 11, 2026

It is with heavy hearts and fond memories that we announce the passing of Robert Hoilfield, a beloved father, brother, uncle, and friend. Robert left this world on November 11, 2026, at the age of 57, following a sudden heart attack. Born on August 12, 1969, in Mobile, Alabama, Robert's life was a testament to love, resilience, and dedication. Robert was the cherished son of the late Joseph and Irene Hoilfield, who instilled in him a strong sense of family and community. He was also predeceased by his brother, Michael Hoilfield, with whom he shared many adventures and cherished memories. Robert's legacy lives on through his daughters, Jasmine Hoilfield and Ikenea Hoilfield, and his stepsons, Jermaine Hoilfield and Kyree Hoilfield, who will continue to honor his memory by embodying his compassionate and generous spirit. Known for his infectious smile and warm heart, Robert was a pillar of strength and kindness to those around him. He was a devoted uncle to his nieces, Canee Hoilfield and Tyra Hinton, who admired his wisdom and unwavering support. The joy and laughter that Robert brought into the lives of his two grandchildren will be remembered fondly, as they carry forward his love for life and family. A service to celebrate Robert's life will take place on December 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary Cemetery, located at 256 Vandyke, Detroit, MI 48217. Family and friends are invited to gather and share in the remembrance of a life that touched so many. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the American Cancer Society, a cause close to Robert's heart. The organization is headquartered in Atlanta, GA, and any contributions in his memory would be deeply appreciated. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has provided support and love during this difficult time. Your kindness and compassion are deeply appreciated and will never be forgotten.
