Michael James Robb

CUMBERLAND – Michael James Robb, 64, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family on July 9, 2024, after a courageous and spirited battle with pancreatic cancer.

He was born on Aug. 19, 1959, in Calais, son of Josephine Drotar Ramsdell and Paul Lawrence Robb. He was one of six children.

He graduated from Woodland High School in 1977 and earned a B.S. in Accounting from the University of Maine Orono in 1981. He met the love of his life, Linda Anita Buttarazzi at Orono, and they married on Aug. 6, 1983.

Together they moved to Southern Maine where they raised their two children, Michelle and Ryan. Michael enjoyed all the Maine outdoors had to offer, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting and boating. He was always heavily involved in his children’s sports teams, coaching many of them and rarely missing a game. He selflessly dedicated his talents and found joy in helping others.

He was preceded by his father, Paul Lawrence Robb.

He is survived by his wife, Linda Buttarazzi Robb; his children, Michelle Treaster and her husband Derrick, Ryan Robb and his wife Katlyn; his granddaughters Riva and Raegan; his mother, Josephine Drotar Ramsdell; his sisters Susan White, Barbara Porterfield, Paula Boyce, Deborah Robb and Katie McMullin; and many beloved family and friends.

Michael will be deeply missed and forever be a part of the family he so deeply loved. For all service details, please view full obituary at http://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries
