Obituary
Mr. Calvin Robinson, Jr., a native and resident of Jackson, was born March 21, 1927 to the parentage of the late Calvin Robinson, Jr. and Annie Chaney Robinson. He departed this life Sunday, April 20, 2014 at Jackson Health Care Facility surrounded by his loving family.
He was a faithful member of Mt. Sinai #1 Bapt. Church, Jackson where he served as a deacon for 40 plus years, sang in the men's chorus, served as groundskeeper, and was willing to serve wherever needed within the church. Retired as a logger, Mr. Robinson also was a successful and productive farmer. Before failing health, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing checkers, and was known as an excellent pool shark. He also enjoyed attending gospel singings.
He was united in holy matrimony to the late Roberta Thompson, and to this union 11 children were born. In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by two sons, Jessie Ray Robinson and James Robinson.
