Obituary
Mr. Kirk Dwayne Robinson
Mr. Kirk Dwayne Robinson was born in Smithville, Georgia on March 19, 1956 to Mrs. Izola Robinson West and the late Mr. Luscious Orange, Sr. He was educated in the Lee County School System. In 2014, Kirk accepted the invitation to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. In the last several years, Kirk lived at the Lillian Carter Nursing Home in Plains, GA, where he received 24 hour specialized care for his physical needs. In spite of many challenges and struggles he has had with his health, Kirk always managed to maintain a good spirit.
He will be remembered dearly for his smile and sense of humor, a man of very few words, yet deeply spoken. Those that had the honor to know him had grown very fond of him. His sudden passing has been a constant reminder of how we should cherish every moment we can with the ones we love. We can never know if that one moment will be the last.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents: John and Ola Mae Terry, Leonard and Mable Champion and Moses, Sr. and Josey Butts. He was also preceded in death by his brothers: M C Robinson, Luscious Orange, Jr. and Marvin West; his aunts: Mae Vessa Trice, Annie Lloyd and Bessie Hunter; and his cousin James Trice.
Precious memories of Kirk are forever cherished by his mother, Mrs. Izola Robinson West of Smithville, GA; his wife, Nancy Robinson of Smithville, GA; three children: Fredrick Bryant, Sr., Albany, GA, Dacy Robinson, Sr., Thomasville, GA and Michael Robinson, Ft. Mitchell, AL; two stepchildren: Huron Robinson, Americus, GA, and Centari Robinson, Smithville, GA; ten grandchildren: Fredrick, Jr., London, Dacy, Jr., Dashon, Darrius, Makayla, Samari, Jocelyn, Centari, Jr. and Jacory; ten sisters: Viola West, Smithville, GA, Beverly Dingle, Plains, GA, Shelia Smith, Gretel Smith, both of Smithville, GA, Vaturnia Ingram, Americus, GA, Evette Johnson, Vanessa Chambers, Janice Bouyer, Nanette Orange and Patricia Hodges, all of Miami, FL; three brothers: Larry Robinson, Smithville, GA, Curtis West, Hinesville, GA and Gregory West, Americus, GA; six brothers-in-law: Chris Dingle, Levi Smith, Elder Wallace Ingram, Charles Bryant, William Bryant and Terrance Green; four sisters-in-law: Stephanie West, Priscilla West, Doris Harris and Tracey Green; five aunts: Rosa Thomas, Yolanda Williams, Louise Childs, Barbara Matthews and Virginia Carter; three uncles: George Fish, Moses Butts, Jr. and Arthur Orange; two devoted friends: Thomas and Gene Gibson; an exceptionally devoted sister Shelia Smith, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends also survive.

A Fallen Limb
A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times, the laughter, and the song.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes we’re together again.
