David Robin Gilbert entered into eternal rest on January 24, 2026 in San Antonio Tx. Born to C.B. Gilbert Jr. and Vivian S. Gilbert in Mobile Alabama on January 26,1963.

Siblings include Mark Gilbert, Lisa De Leon, Paul Gilbert and James Gilbert. Numerous grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

David aka Wawa had a great passion for fishing and the outdoors that he shared with his family and friends. His quick wit and bad jokes made him such fun to be around. He loved to sing and enjoyed all types of music. Karaoke was his thing. If music trivia was being played you definitely wanted him as your partner. David was a jack of all trades, a mechanical insulator, able to fix anything. David enjoyed grilling and enjoyed seeing everyone eating. He supported the Alabama Crimson Tide football team and had a man crush on former head coach Nick Saban. David was a unique beautiful person and will be forever missed and deeply loved by his family and friends.

  3. I will miss him deeply. He taught me a lot in life. My best memories as a kid came from him. Catching fish at the river and camping. Always telling the best jokes. I loved going to see him and play horseshoes. We were all that good but it was a fun time. I loved you pops and I will miss you

  4. I met Robin when I was just 16 and started dating Nicole. Ever the prankster he called me by a different name every time he passed me the whole day, then told me later it was hard to remember all the boyfriends Nicky had but hey, maybe I’d stick around long enough to remember. He had a great sense of humor and a genuine heart that is hard to find. He’ll always be Uncle Wawa to my kiddos and he made some amazing kiddos that he left the world. Thank you for including me in the toast when we lost Linda. It meant more than you’ll ever know. I love you.

    God bless you, Robin. Say hi to Pop and the family already up there and always keep an eye on the rest still down here. It may be a little bit till we join you, but as Johnny Cash said, the circle won’t be broken, by and by, Lord, by and by.

    Take care until we see you again.

  9. “Love is a bond that death cannot part. Gone from your arms, but still held in your heart.” You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

  14. May you rest in eternal peace Mr. Gilbert! I may not have met you but “Gilbert” spoke of you often and fondly when I got the pleasure of working alongside her at school. It was evident she loved you tremendously!
