JB was a proud man, dedicated to his community. As an outreach worker with our violence reduction team, he continued the mission he always had: to give back.

He spent this past Friday night at Riverside Park in typical JB fashion, working with kids to make sure they felt loved and safe. He spent his life making sure he would leave a legacy in the people he helped.

Maybe most strongly, this legacy will live on in his children, who were everything to him. Friends and family will make sure they remember how special their dad was.

Too often we talk about problems, without talking about solutions. JB was a solution. His life is not in vain, because he changed our city for the better.

Today, we are thinking of JB’s children, mother, and family as they navigate this incredibly challenging time. But we also will remember the laughter. The person he was. And the caring soul that he had. We remember JB.

Abie Robinson. A larger-than-life man with a true public servant's heart. The world was a better place because of Abie Robinson. His legacy lives on and those that knew and loved him are left with precious memories, good laughs, and Abie's hallmark gift: love rocks.
