James Neal (Jimmy) Robrecht, Jr., passed away on January 20th, 2018. Born on October 15, 1950 in Baltimore, MD, he was the son of James Neal Robrecht, Sr. and Betty Melvin Robrecht of Tall Timbers, Maryland. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Patricia Mattingly Robrecht, his children, Kimberly Robrecht Wrenn (Kevin) of Davidsonville, Maryland and James Neal Robrecht III (Tonya) of California, Md. He extended his fatherly love to many but especially Renee Robrecht Reilly who he considered his own.

Jimmy graduated from Great Mills High School in 1969 and served in the United States Marine Corp until 1972 and the Army National Guard until 1976. Although he was a carpenter by trade and owned and operated Robrecht Construction, his greatest love was being a licensed waterman. It brought him great joy to provide his family and friends his catches of the day. Jimmy was also an avid gardener who could produce the most beautiful tomatoes in the county.
