Anthony Robertson, age 75, passed away on Friday, April 10, 2026. He was born on October 15, 1950, in Texarkana, AR to his parents, J.D. and Alice Robertson.

He was the proud owner of Anthony Robertson Trucking and deeply valued the friendships he built along the way. Known to his trucking buddies as "Dragline" and to his brunch circle and many others as "Ace," he carried a spirit that made a lasting impression on everyone he met.

He had a true love for softball, especially during the years he spent coaching his daughter. Even long after, you could always find him at the ballfield, sitting in a lawn chair with a smile on his face, supporting the players he cared so much about. He also enjoyed attending rodeos, where he also found great joy and excitement. He never met a stranger, and his kindness and personality left a lasting impact on so many, especially the players from the ball teams he coached and supported. In his spare time, he loved working with machinery, whether it was his backhoe or tractor.

Above all, he cherished his family. He loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren deeply, and they were a constant source of pride and joy in his life.

Anthony was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, J.T. Robertson; two sisters, Delma Dickert and Delores Robertson; and son-in-law, Rodney Phillips.

He is survived by his wife, Brenda Robertson; daughters, Carmen Phillips, Toni and Tracy Turner; grandchildren, Madison Rhinehart (Brett), Carlee Lindsey (Colten), Carson Phillips, Mallory Phillips (Seth), Dawson Oliver, Gavin Turner, and Teaghan Turner; great grandchildren, Peyton Rhinehart, Reed Rhinehart, and Collin Lindsey; special nieces, Annie, Annsley, and Bradie Griffith; special nephew, Presley Griffith; along with a host of other relatives and friends.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 PM on Sunday, April 12, 2026, in the chapel of Texarkana Funeral Home - Arkansas with Frank McFerrin and Tracy Turner officiating, with a visitation to follow after. A private burial will be held at a later date.
