Jack Robinson III was born July 25, 1974, to Olivia Robinson and the late Jack Robinson Jr. He attended Cedar Grove High School where he was a vital part of the Marching Band Drumline until he graduated in 1992. Jack joined the United States Marine Corp immediately out of school. He served his country for 6 years and was honorably discharged as Corporal Robinson. He was stationed in Hawaii, where he spent the next 20+ years.

To his immediate family he was known as ‘JJ’. To his Hawaiian family he was ‘Rob’. To most he was Jack/uncle Jack. Extraordinary is what he was. His smile was joyful, his laugh infectious and his hugs were everything. His passion for life led him to many hobbies including Nascar, Martial Arts and Snowboarding. If you know, you know, he had a deep love for Golf and would do that as much as he could.

Jack returned to Georgia in 2013 for love and family. Since returning home and working in the city he was able to make many new friends that became like family.

On May 17, Jack’s life was tragically taken too soon due to a fatal car crash. He leaves to cherish his memory, the love of his life, Ms. Candice May; his loving Mother, Olivia Robinson; stepfather Nathaniel Stevens; sister LaTresa Robinson; nephews Jahmarkus and Tahari Robinson; Aunts Gloria, Sylvia (James), and Patricia; Uncles George, John (Betty), Michael, Carl (Vickie), and Louis (Robin); Great-Aunts Verelene and Nina; God-Mothers Phyllis and Bonnie; step-sister Natika; God-sister Rachelle; God-brothers Ricardo (Dee), and Rasheed; best-friend Kito; and fur baby Duchess. Along with a host of cousins, Godchildren, family, and friends.

Jack was a loving son, partner, and brother. He leaves behind a host of many to carry on his memory. He will truly be missed.
