Jackie Robinson
Jackie was a mighty man of God who courageously and with great faith faced several health issues over the last 10+ years. He was born on January 2, 1957 in Jesup GA and went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Wednesday September 1, 2021 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville TN.
Jackie was the oldest child of Troy and Claretha Robinson who preceded him in death.
He was also preceded in death by siblings Sugar Ray Robinson and Deborah Robinson; mother-in-law and father-in-law Joyce and Lacy Alston; special adopted mother Blanche Baskerville.
He leaves to celebrate his life and cherish his memory: wife of 40 years Debra Robinson; daughters Nikki Robinson of Atlanta GA and Natalie Robinson of Morristown TN; brothers Wayne, Frankie, Marty and Pete (Pam) of the Freeport NY area, Terry of Atlanta GA, Bobby (Vivian) of Alascocita TX; sister-in-law Pamela Alston of Siler City NC, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Drs. Beverly and Michael Smith of Bethesda MD; best friend of 42 years Bruce (Sonya) Hopkins of Indianapolis IN; several nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends.
The family will receive friends on Sunday September 5th. From 2:00-4:00 at Dockery Senter Funeral Home, Morristown TN. Celebration of life to follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to C. Wright Pinson Hospital Hospitality House, 214 Reidhurst Avenue, Nashville TN 37203. It would also honor Jackie if you would register to be an organ donor at www.donatelifetn.org.
The family would like to gratefully acknowledge the care & support provided by the Vanderbilt Medical Center staff and chaplains and all his local medical providers.
