Robert P. Heinbuck

Robert P. Heinbuck, 74, of Port Huron, Michigan, passed away on March 5, 2025. Born on July 20, 1950, in Port Huron, Robert was the son of the late Lucille V. Heinbuck (Bernaby) and Pete Heinbuck. He was a proud veteran, having enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1968, and served his country during the Vietnam War. Robert dedicated nearly 11 years of his life to military service. After his military service, Robert worked as a bus driver for Blue Water Area Transit, where he served the community for many years before retiring. Robert had a deep love for history and reenactments, particularly those depicting the Revolutionary War and French and Indian Wars. Along with his children, he spent many enjoyable years participating in primitive camping and rendezvous reenactments, forging memories and bonds that would last a lifetime. A lover of the outdoors, Robert was an avid hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed passing down his knowledge of wilderness survival to his children and grandchildren, sharing his passion for nature and self-reliance. His love for the outdoors was only rivaled by his affection for classic cars and motorcycles. He was a member of the Mercy Riders RC, riding alongside his children and forging lasting memories on the open road. One of Robert’s greatest joys was engaging in long, spirited conversations at local doughnut shops and diners, where he would talk for hours, always eager to share his vast knowledge and life experiences. A lifelong learner, Robert was a walking book of knowledge, always with a story or lesson to impart to anyone who would listen. Robert leaves behind a legacy of love for family, history, nature, and the simple pleasures of life, and his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He is survived by his two children, Sandy (Heinbuck) Healy and Michael C. Heinbuck (Sherie), and six grandchildren: Seth M. Heinbuck, Pamela L (Healy). Nikel (Joshua), Corinne T. Heinbuck, Dustin A. Healy, Dharma L. Heinbuck, and Blaine N. Heinbuck. He is also survived by two great-grandchildren, Jace and Levi. Robert was proceeded in death by his mother and father.
