Troy B. Robinson, loving, funny, and kind, was born on November 5, 1962, in

the bustling city of Chicago, IL. He lived and loved there until his passing on

September 23, 2023, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, warmth, and music.

Born to Bernice Robinson and the late Charles Robinson, Troy was one of

four, a brother to Tamera, Tracy, and Trevor. His siblings remember him

fondly, his humor bringing light to even the dreariest of Chicago winters.

Tracy's husband, John Hanch, and Trevor's wife, Karen, also share in the

family's fond memories of Troy's infectious laughter and generous spirit.

Troy was a beloved uncle to six nieces, three nephews, nine great-nieces,

and three great-nephews. His uncles, Ted Young and Nate Robinson, and his

aunt, Brenda Young, join in the chorus of family members mourning his

passing. But mourning is not the only song sung in Troy's memory. His family,

his friends, and a host of cousins will forever celebrate the joy he brought into

their lives.

Troy B. Robinson was a man of many talents, a graduate of the Illinois

Institute of Chicago, where he earned a certification that paved the way for his

life's work. Yet, it was his passion for music that truly defined him. He loved

nothing more than to strum his guitar, his fingers dancing over the strings as

he composed melodies that touched the hearts of all who heard them.

He was a songwriter, his lyrics a testament to his beautiful soul. As he penned

verses, he painted pictures of love, friendship, and the simple pleasures of

life. His music became his voice, a voice that echoed with kindness and a love

for life. Troy was a man who lived his life to a rhythm all his own.

Troy B. Robinson, a man whose life was a song, a melody of love, humor, and

kindness. His absence leaves a silence, but his memory will forever fill it with

music. The chords he strummed, the songs he wrote, and the love he shared

are his lasting legacy.

So, we say goodbye to Troy B. Robinson, even as we hold him in our hearts.

The song has ended, but the melody lingers on. His life was a symphony, a

beautiful composition of love, laughter, and kindness. His memory will forever

be a sweet refrain, a melody that will continue to play in the hearts of all who

loved him. So here's to Troy, a man who lived his life in harmony, a man who

left the world a little brighter, a little kinder, and a whole lot more

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

Believers Who Have Died, Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be

uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest

of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and

so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
