Robinson had been returning to his hotel after grabbing dinner with relatives to celebrate his first hole-in-one, which he clinched late Tuesday at the famous Whistling Straits golf course, family members told the outlet.

The trip was one of his first outings since welcoming his daughter with his wife Rachel last month.

The new dad’s heartbroken and shocked family is demanding answers about his mysterious death and the “monster that took his life.”

Several family members are planning to make the trek to Wisconsin to retrieve his body — and ensure he gets justice.

“I’m not doing this to ruffle feathers or anything like that. I just want his name to be remembered. I want justice,” his brother, Jacob, told TMJ4.

Jacob said his brother was looking forward to starting the newest chapter of his life with his growing family.

“He was a very good man, and he was an awesome brother. He was an even better husband. And he was going to be an amazing dad. He was excited to be a father,” he told the outlet.

“Just this senseless act has taken away so many aspects. Not only a brother, but a son and a husband, and now my little niece—she’s only 5 weeks old—and she’s never really going to ever know her true father.”

Robinson’s cousins remembered the slain father as the type of person who “took the world by storm” and was a “true family man.”

“Mike was so excited to become a father, constantly asking family and friends questions and looking for advice to prepare so that he would be ready. He was the proudest when Farrah arrived, showing her off with the biggest smile you could ever imagine,” his family wrote on a fundraising page.

“He dove right into his new role of ‘Dad’ and was a natural, just like we all knew he would be. It is the most heartbreaking to know he will never be able to hold his baby girl again.”

Wisconsin authorities have been scouring the area for a dark-colored SUV that they believe is connected to the shooting.
